Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat the Gujarat Titans (GT) by 15 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 1 to book a place for themselves in the final. While CSK were asked to bat first, they ended up posting 172/7.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (60 off 44) was the stand-out performer with the bat from the Men in Yellow but a 40 off 34 from Devon Conway and a few crucial cameos in the context of the game from Ambati Rayudu (17 off 9), Ajinkya Rahane (17 off 10) and Ravindra Jadeja (22 off 16) were equally important to help CSK post what seemed like a par-score on the surface.
In the run chase, GT had their moments but lost their way when the required run rate surged and no one partnership could only long enough to force CSK to think differently. Eventually, Chennai won the match by 15 runs with GT getting bowled out for 157. After his contribution with the bat, Jadeja returned to finish as the pick of the bowlers (2/18).
This will be CSK’s tenth appearance in an IPL final in foruteen season.
