Just compare the two squads and you can see that Gujarat Titans were much stronger (at least on paper). Out of the 12 players in Gujarat playing XI (including the impact substitute), 7 were regular internationals - Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan, David Miller, Josh Little, Noor Ahmad and Mohammed Shami. On the other hand, Chennai squad had only 4 regulars - Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Maheesh Theekshana. In the end, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was able to lead Chennai Super Kings to a victory, despite majority of the CSK players being inexperienced.
We can't blame Mohit Sharma as he conceded just three runs off the first four balls of the last over but the last two balls changed the outcome of the game.
Gujarat lost CSK won but we are looking forward to a good tournament this season. All the best to Gujarat Titans, hope they do better next season
