CSK Innings: Struggles, Milestone & Gaikwad’s Fight
Batting first, CSK never really found momentum on a tricky Chepauk surface. The pitch offered early assistance, and Gujarat’s bowlers made full use of it.
The highlight of the innings came early when Sanju Samson reached a massive milestone — 5000 IPL runs, becoming the fastest Indian to achieve it. However, his stay was short-lived as Rabada dismissed him soon after.
👉 That moment gave the crowd a spark, but CSK quickly lost control.

- Middle order collapsed under disciplined bowling
- Run rate kept dropping
Amid the chaos, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stood tall.

- 74 off 60 balls*
- Anchored the innings on a tough pitch
- Played with patience and control
A late cameo from Jamie Overton (18 off 6) pushed CSK to 158/7, but it always felt slightly under-par.
Rabada’s Fire Spell – Game Changer
If one phase decided the match, it was the bowling spell from Kagiso Rabada.
