Sudharsan’s anchor, GT’s surge

Sai Sudharsan batted like the innings had a metronome, then a switch, and Gujarat Titans rode that control to an 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings. His 85 off 53, backed by Shubman Gill’s 64 off 37 and Jos Buttler’s late 57 off 27, pushed GT to 229/4 and left CSK needing a perfect chase. It never arrived: the visitors’ early intent was snuffed out by a flurry of wickets, and the chase unravelled into a 140 all-out in 13.4 overs.

Powerplay wickets broke CSK

The match swung in the first six overs of CSK’s reply. They raced to 58, but the cost was four wickets in the powerplay, turning a brisk start into a scramble for survival. From there, the middle overs became damage control rather than pursuit: only 82 runs came between overs 7 and 13, with set batters unable to build. The chase’s brief resistance came through a 53-run stand between Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis, but once it ended, the tail had no runway and no time.

Sudharsan, Gill set the tone

Sudharsan’s value was in pacing: he held the middle overs together before accelerating, while Gill’s early strike-rate ensured GT were ahead of the game without losing shape. Buttler then turned the last five overs into a launchpad, ensuring the target was beyond a par chase. With the ball, Mohammed Siraj’s 3 for 26 set the squeeze, Kagiso Rabada’s 3 for 32 kept striking as CSK searched for momentum, and Rashid Khan’s 3 for 18 finished the job with ruthless speed.

Pre-match edges played out

The pre-game lean towards GT was rooted in steadier season form and home comfort, and the match followed that script. Their top order didn’t just score — it controlled risk: 62/0 in the powerplay and 111/1 through the middle meant CSK’s bowlers were constantly defending rather than attacking. CSK, coming in with patchier recent results, needed early wickets to keep 230 within reach; instead, they lost early wickets themselves, and the chase became a high-wire act from ball one.
