Yesterday's match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans proved once again that being strong on paper does not win. In this season of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings were at the fourth position in the points table for which many have put the team ahead. Chennai Super Kings led the crowd but lost to Gujarat Titans in the field game. Chennai Super Kings did not suffer much from losing the match against Gujarat, they are still in the same position as before. If the Chennai batsmen had played with patience from the beginning, the result of this match could have been different. Basically Chennai Super Kings were forced to lose tomorrow's match as the top order batsmen of Chennai Super Kings got out very quickly.

Finally Gujarat Titans opener duo Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan played a great innings. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan batted very well and both of them scored centuries due to their responsible batting.
I don't know if this is any beneficial for the Gujarat Titans openers to gain their form back. If both Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill had this type of form in the previous matches, they would not be at the bottom of the table right now. Although with yesterday's win, the Gujarat Titan are able to move up the table to the 8th position but this is not going to be enough for them to be in the top 4 and qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand Chennai Super Kings despite losing this match, are holding on to the 4th position. However they need to win their next match otherwise Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants can take over them as all three of them are standing with 12 points each.
If Chennai Super wants to win the match against Gujarat Titans then they must make them bat responsible. If they cannot bat responsibly in today's match then it will be very difficult to win against Gujarat Titans.
I don't think Chennai Super Kings will be playing again with Gujarat Titans in this IPL. Their next match is with Rajasthan Royals and then Royal Challengers Bengaluru. As per my analysis, CSK will move to the playoffs while Gujarat Titans will move out of this IPL. So the both teams cannot meet again however Chennai Super Kings have to bat and bowl with responsibility in their next matches otherwise things can become very difficult for them too.
The Gujarat team came in at the last minute and performed very well, Shai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill entered the field as openers and performed so well they both scored centuries. The Gujarat team should have performed like this from the start to have a chance of making it to the qualifiers. But no way they need to play well in this match, not have the power to take the win, but still with two teams Gujarat can perform. So if they can perform in the future games like today's game then there is definitely a possibility to go to the qualifier match. But of course those two teams are very strong, but today's game I respect Gujarat.
Gujarat Titans outstanding all-round performance in this match first they scored a huge total of 232 runs for the Chennai Super Kings. The Player of the Match award for Shubman Gill for his outclassed batting performance scored a well-deserved century of 104 runs in just and only 55 balls and reached his team total to 230 plus runs. Chennai Super Kings failed to chase down the target and only managed to score 196 runs in a loss of 8 wickets.

Chennai Super Kings performed like fools as they entered the field as openers and got out early. Ajinkya Rahane, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad these three batsmen have performed very Chennai Super Kings 1, 2, 3 If these batsmen can perform well, then the next players will perform well, this is the rule of playing cricket. But the power play wickets put the team under a lot of pressure with three outs, and the later players performed well under wicket pressure but failed to secure the win. So far, Chennai Super Kings are holding the fourth place in the points table but the chances of entering the qualifiers are very slim. But this match was the most needed win for the Chennai Kings team.
The reason Chennai Super Kings lost yesterday was because of the failure of their top order batsmen. 3 wickets were lost in the first 3 overs. Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane and Ruturaj Gaikwad could have won Chennai if they had performed well. In this case Chennai bowling could not do well they failed to break Gujarat Titans opening pair. Gujarat Titans two opening batsmen both batted brilliantly, they both made a huge partnership of 210 runs.
Finally Gujarat Titans opener duo Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan played a great innings. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan batted very well and both of them scored centuries due to their responsible batting. However, Chennai Super Kings captain will be greatly missed today. If Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman could have played for Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans would never have built such a great partnership. Now it is to be seen how responsible batsmen of chennai super kings can bat but chennai super kings batsmen are not batting very well. If Chennai Super wants to win the match against Gujarat Titans then they must make them bat responsible. If they cannot bat responsibly in today's match then it will be very difficult to win against Gujarat Titans.
Right brother, today Chennai Super Kings squad against Gujrat Titans squad match in Indian Premier League competition was finished and both sqauds played great innings but Victory always goes to one squad when two different squads fight with each other. Gujrat Titans squad has successfully defeated Chennai Super Kings squad on 59th clash. The main reason for defeat of Chennai Super squads in today match was long lasting and strong dual batting partnership both Starter battes successfully achieved brilliant century. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan came on crease as starter batter, Sai Sudharsan successfully managed to collect 103 scores with power hitting shots off 51 deliveries also Shubman Gill collected 104 scores off 55 scores both members performance was unbelievable and unbeatable in match. At end of their inning, Gujrat Titans squad set 213 scores as defeating target which seem very difficult for Chennai Super Kings squad. Start of Chennai Super Kings bat Inning was very bad and some scores were collected by Moeen Ali and Daryl Mitchell but resting members were fastly dropped their hope for victory and lost this match.
The Gujarat team came in at the last minute and performed very well, Shai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill entered the field as openers and performed so well they both scored centuries.

Today we have the match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at Ahmedabad. GT has near zero chance of qualifying to the playoffs, and therefore the outcome of this match is mainly important for CSK. But then CSK is suffering from multiple injury issues. All three of their frontline pacers - Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana are doubtful for today's match. At the same time, GT is also suffering from injury to Mohammed Shami. Richard Gleeson will be included in the CSK squad, along with Mitchell Santner.
So disappointing performance from Chennai at such important match as that match can barely decide his future because at that victory they will without any doubt quality for playsoff but now after brutal defeat from Gujarat Titan they were really in big danger because a single victory of Lucknow or Dehli can overtake them and one more bad performance victory or defeat will officially eliminate them from playoff race it's true just like you explained that they have some major player injury which definitely damage them huge because thier part time bowlers are unable to Handel things especially at such vital stage where every small mistake cost them huge. Anyway I am really impressed from Gujarat Titan for thier two hundred opening partnership from gill and Sudarshan. Every one know it's too late but at least they try and give their 100% 
In this match between CSK vs Gujarat Titans today, the current situation cannot be determined which team will win this match. CSK is moving forward according to the chart that Gujarat Titans is moving forward but the difference between Gujarat Titans' run chart and CSK's run chart is that CSK has already lost 5 wickets. Whichever team wins today's match, this is the first time in IPL history that two batsmen have scored 200+ runs unbeaten and two have scored centuries. With the batsmen's performance today, Gujarat should win today's match.
Gujarat Titans posted the target of 232 runs to Chennai super kings what an excellent innings played by Shubman Gill of 104 runs while Sai Sudharsan also make century both of players scored 210 runs partnership which put high pressure on opposite team. Chennai team failed to chased th total and made only 196/8. CSK lost their first three wickets very early after that Daryl Mitchell and moeen Ali stable on the crease and made hundred runs partnership but unluckily to won the match. after they gone no players played fast innings and on last few overs to much score needed which causes lost. Gujarat team won this game by 35 runs.

Despite this win GT have very low chances of making it to next round. Look at the strike rate of Sai Sudharsan and Gill, they both scored centuries with strike rate of around 200. CSK bowlers have no clue of where to bowl today, they only picked 2 wickets today. In reply to GT 231, CSK have a terrible start as they lost 3 wickets in first 3 overs. This loss will definitely had a negative impact on CSK chances of playing next round.
What I am witnessing is unlike CSK team usually they stick onto their playing XI consistently now swapping positions and bringing Rachin after dropping him for a while now didn't work either. And not giving the ball to spinner and trusting part-time bowler like Mitchell is really a bad move though.
Definitely, the absence of someone like Pathirana is a huge blow as well.
After today's match the tournament is getting wide open, GT well on the race too for top 4.

Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are batting very well as they are batting with responsibility if they bat like this then these two batsmen can be very dangerous for Chennai Super Kings so Super Kings bowlers should get these two batsmen out very quickly otherwise. They will target Chennai Super Kings with big runs. Shubman Gill is unbeaten with 39 from 20 balls and Sai Sudharsan is 52 from 31 balls. Gujarat Titans current score is 95 runs for 0 wickets in nine overs. If they can bat, maybe Chennai Super Kings will give a target of 200 plus runs. If Chennai Super Kings are given a target of 200 plus runs then it will be very difficult for Chennai Super Kings to win the match so it will be very quick to pick up wickets very quickly to stop their run cycle.
Chennai bowlers are not doing well against Gujarat today. Gujarat's two openers are on a batting rampage today. Chennai's bowlers could not take a single wicket in 14 overs. Gujarat team collected 179 runs in 14 overs. Gujarat's two batsmen collected an average of around 13 runs per over.
Sai Sudarsan remained unbeaten with 40-ball 85 and Shubman Gill with 44-ball 92. If Chennai's bowlers fail to pick up quick wickets, Gujarat will easily set a target of 260+ today. I have not seen such bad bowling by Chennai in this year's IPL. Also Chennai's fielding is not good enough today.
Mitchel Sartner gave 31 runs in 2 overs and Samarjeet 35 runs in 2 overs. Only Sardul Thakur conceded 14 runs in 2 overs. Besides, every bowler is bowling badly today.
Gujarat team's total of 196 runs in 16 overs against Chennai Super Kings is probably a record so far in 2024 IPL. If Gujarat's two opening batsmen complete 20 overs today, it will also be another record. The way Gujarat batsmen are batting let's see how far they can go in the end.
Due to the responsible batting of the two openers of Gujarat Titans, the team set a huge target of 232 runs today. Two openers scored centuries. And Gujarat team managed to collect 210 runs from the opening pair.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings started their innings with a bang. The team lost three wickets in the first three overs. I don't expect better batting from Ajinkia Rahane. He is not in good form either. But I expected better batting from Raturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra scored 1 run and Gaikwad failed to add any runs to the scoreboard. Now Daryl Mitchell and Mooen Ali are batting very carefully.
Chennai collected only 43 runs in 6 overs of power play. Chennai must collect 189 runs in 14 overs to win. 189 off 84 balls is very difficult. Chennai must collect 13.5 runs per over.
If Chennai's top order batted well today, Chennai would have been able to win today's match. All three top order batsmen could not bat well. Chennai lost three key batsmen very quickly. This is why Chennai's batting was very slow at the beginning of the innings. Chennai's collection in the first 6 overs was just 43 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.
At the end of 16 overs, Chennai collected 162 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. The team needs to score 70 runs in the last 4 overs to win. Around 19 runs should be collected per over. Jadeja and Dube are batting well enough. But collecting 19 runs per over is a much tougher task. Chennai are likely to lose unless a miracle happens.
