IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans, Highlights: Wriddhiman Saha completed a brilliant half-century as he guided GT to an emphatic 7-wicket win vs CSK. Moeen Ali got Matthew Wade for 20 runs as GT lost their second wicket in the run-chase. Matheesha Pathirana removed Shubman Gill on the first ball of his spell to give CSK a ray of hope in defence of the 134-run target. GT openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha gave their team a solid start in chase of the 134-run target vs CSK. CSK were restricted to 133/5 in their 20 overs as GT bowlers, led by Mohammed Shami bowled superbly in the end overs. GT bowlers stuck back nicely to remove Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube in quick succession. CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad played some good shots from one end and completed a well-deserved half-century. GT bowlers dominated the game earlier with wickets of Moeen Ali and Devon Conway. Mohammed Shami removed Devon Conway early, as CSK went 1 wicket down in the third over. Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat against Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium. Gujarat have already qualified for the playoffs and they would hope to finish within top two to enhance their chances of making it to the finals. Talking about CSK, the MS Dhoni-led side are at the ninth spot in the points table and they would look to end their season on a high. A day before the match, Ambati Rayudu had announced that the ongoing season would be last IPL, but he later deleted the tweet. It will be interesting to see how Rayudu performs in the match against Gujarat. (SCORECARD)
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade, Hardik Pandya(c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami
Hardik Pandya at the toss: "We would have batted first too. There are two options. We can come in tpday and let things drift away and the second thing is we can show we can play like a number one team, show our character no mater what the pitch or the heat is like. Same team for us."
MS Dhoni at the toss: "We will bat first. It's very hot. The wickets have been used quite a bit so it will slow down. Hope it stays the same throughout or slows down in the second half of the game. Theekshana the way he has come in and contributed. Conway at the top order have been positives. We have a lot of changes. Robbie, Rayudu, Bravo, Theekshana are missing. Jaggi, Solanki, Santner, Matheesha are playing."
