In Match 7 of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) on Tuesday, March 26 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by a score of runs, extending their winning streak. Chennai, who were batting first, amassed a huge 206/6 thanks to a half-century from Shivam Dube (51 off 23).
Rachin Ravindra and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who combined to score 62 runs for the first wicket off 32 balls, made significant contributions as well (46 off 36 balls). Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 37 (31) while GT were only able to reach 143/8 in the 20 overs that were given in response. Except for him, no other batter was able to score more than 21 runs as a result for GT’s batting collapse. For CSK, Deepak Chahar (2/28), Mustafizur Rahman (2/30), and Tushar Deshpande (2/21) each claimed two wickets.
