LIVE GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Qualifier 1: This is it!

CSK secures a spot in the IPL final for the tenth time! Scoring 172 runs proved to be sufficient for them today, as the absence of dew on the outfield worked in their favour. The pitch gradually slowed down, offering grip and turn that played into the strengths of their spinners, particularly Jadeja and Theekshana, who were outstanding. Together, they claimed 4 wickets for 46 runs in 8 overs, shifting the balance in favour of CSK during the middle overs. Additionally, Deepak Chahar, who had already dismissed Saha early in the innings, returned to remove Shubman Gill, significantly denting GT's batting lineup. The enthusiastic crowd at Chepauk experienced some anxious moments towards the end due to Rashid Khan's impressive batting display. Despite dispatching some loose deliveries from Pathirana and Deshpande, Rashid couldn't find enough support as he carried the weight of the innings on his shoulders. CSK also raised their fielding standards during crucial moments, ensuring that Rashid didn't receive much assistance. Today, the Gujarat Titans, known for their excellent chase records, failed to overcome the challenging conditions.
