CSK Vs GT, IPL 2024 HIGHLIGHTS: Well, who could have even thought of a comeback from Gujarat Titans once CSK started founding their mojo in bowling as the likes of Tushar Deshpande, Deepak Chahar, and Mustafizur Rahman took two-a-piece as they dismantled a strong batting lineup of Gujarat Giants in the Match 7 of the Indian Premier League 2024.
Chennai Super Kings are the side that have the best home record in the history of the IPL and are a tough nut to crack and Gujarat Titans have learnt it the harsh way as they have suffered a 63-run defeat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, and the stadium is also known as Chepaux.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni gave his fans a moment to cherish as inspite of being 42 years old, he showed reflexes of his former self to grab a stunning diving catch to dismiss Vijay Shankar and that proved to be the turning point of the match as Vijay Shankar could have played a role of an anchor.
Shivan Dube’s blistering half century and Rachin Ravindra’s fiery 46 off 20 did give CSK a great start and vital contributions from middle order dragged the reigning champions past 200-run mark.
The bowling was top notch too as economical spells from all the CSK bowlers didn’t give GT even a single bit of chance throughout the match, as Gujarat Titans ended their innings at 143/8 in 20 overs.
CSK will travel away to face Delhi Capitals on March 31, whereas GT will be heading back to their home to host Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 31.
