What an enthralling Titans match! The suspenseful energy lasted till the very end.

When Gill was dismissed, I was apprehensive, but Vijay Shankar rose to the occasion and played exceptionally. Rashid, my favorite player, truly saved the momentum for GT. Tewatia's contributions were crucial and his finish was classic.

GT's drama is just irresistible. It's heartening to see everyone stepping up in challenging times.

In my opinion, GT should consider resting Dayal and bringing in someone like Abhinav Manohar or KS Bharat for the next game. They could use the extra bowler as an impact sub if necessary, given that they already have seven bowling options with Vijay Shankar and Tewatia. This would strengthen their batting lineup.

Although CSK had some hiccups in the start of the death overs, the chase always seemed to favor Gujarat. CSK's inability to score more than 88 runs in the last 11 overs cost them the game, and their bowling appeared flat. Although they are difficult to beat on their home ground, they may face some challenges away.

Unfortunately, CSK currently has seven unavailable bowlers, including Kyle Jamieson, Mukesh, Simarjeet, Magala, Theekshana, Pathirana, and Stokes. It's just bad luck, as they weren't poorly selected in the auction. Magala, Simarjeet, Mukesh, and Stokes are all death bowlers.

One amusing moment was the review for the wide ball, which was quite comical. The third umpire could have simply said, "I don't think it's wide. Move on."

Sort:  

CSK started well but can't keep that at the last overs. That's why they lost last night...

Yes they were 20-25 runs short
