After Ravindra Jadeja’s four off the final ball, CSK reached the 171 run mark in 15 overs. Gujarat, who batted first, scored 214 for four on the strength of a 96-run performance by Sai Sudarshan. In 47 balls, 21-year-old Sudarshan scored eight fours and six fours. Without him, Wriddhiman Saha played a 54 run, 39 ball inning.
Chennai just played three balls while pursuing the aim before it began to pour violently. As soon as he struck a four, Gaikwad and Devon Conway had to return to the pavilion. In order to bat again, each had to score 171 runs in just 15 overs. A bowler could only bowl a maximum of three overs during the powerplay, which was just four overs long. Conway then switched gears. He and Gaikwad collaborated on a 74-run partnership in 39 balls for the first wicket. In the second over, he struck Hardik for a six and a four. Then Shami scored two straight fours. Conway struck Rashid Khan for four in the following over, and Gaikwad added six and four.
In the last five overs, Chennai needed to score 60 runs. Dubey blasted Rashid for two sixes in the 12th over, giving CSK the advantage. Ambati Rayudu put Mohit on target in the following over and smashed two sixes and two fours. CSK now had a 15-ball, 23-run requirement. On a slower ball, Mohit managed to catch Rayudu in his hands. MS Dhoni was now on the pitch. He caught David Miller on the first pitch, though, defying everyone’s predictions, and eventually became a golden duck. In the last two overs, CSK needed to score 22 runs. Just eight runs were scored in the 14th over by Mohammed Shami.
