In a high-octane clash of powerhouses, Gujarat Titans (GT) squared off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 59 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat dominated the contest and registered a triumph by 35 runs.
Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan sizzle with centuries
Winning the toss, CSK opted to bowl first, aiming to capitalize on any early advantage offered by the pitch. However, the Titans’ batting lineup had other plans. Their innings was marked by sheer dominance as their batsmen unleashed a relentless assault on the Super Kings’ bowling attack. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill emerged as the architects of the Titans’ formidable total, both notching up scintillating centuries.
Sudharsan’s blitzkrieg knock of 103 runs off 51 deliveries, embellished with five fours and seven sixes, set the tone for the Titans. Gill complemented him perfectly, crafting a magnificent 104 off 55 balls, adorned with nine fours and six sixes. Despite a brief resistance from David Miller and Shahrukh Khan, the Titans concluded their innings with a commanding total of 231/3 after 20 overs.
Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja’s knocks not enough for CSK to turn the tables
Facing a daunting chase, Chennai Super Kings required a stellar effort from their batting lineup. However, their pursuit encountered early setbacks, with the top order failing to make an impact. Daryl Mitchell emerged as the lone warrior amidst the ruins, smashing a blazing 63 off 34 deliveries, accompanied by seven fours and three sixes.
Moeen Ali contributed a valiant 56 off 36 balls, but the Titans’ bowling attack maintained relentless pressure. Despite late cameos from Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and former skipper MS Dhoni, the Super Kings fell short of the target, managing 196/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
In the bowling department, Gujarat Titans’ Umesh Yadav and Rashid Khan showcased their prowess, scalping crucial wickets to dent the Super Kings’ momentum. Mohit Sharma emerged as the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets to stifle the opposition’s charge.

This is an exhibition from two batters who make their profession seem very easy. The word “elegant” slips easily off the tongue. It has been a delight to watch Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan.

If Travis Head & Abhishek Sharma represent the brutality of opening the batting in modern-day T20 batting, Shubman Gill & Sai Sudharsan are the poster boys for making batting look easy on the eye even if they’re brutal in their own right #IPL2024 #GTvCSK
