Ruturaj Gaikwad
Only 45 runs were scored in the last six overs as GT fought back as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rayudu tried to take CSK past 180 runs. Earlier, Shami had set the tone with a fantastic first stint of three overs, dismissing Uthappa, but Gaikwad tried his best and gradually found his touch. After that, he began to broaden his stroke-making range, and he and Rayudu raised the total to 124 in 14 overs. However, Joseph returned to dismiss Rayudu with a wide outside offline catch, and GT then took Ruturaj Gaikwad for a significant wicket. CSK put on a flourish in the final over, with Jadeja slamming consecutive sixes. CSK eventually earns 169 points. Keep in mind that GT will be without Pandya tonight.
The last over of CSK’s innings is bowled by Ferguson. Dube slams a four-pointer. He went large towards backward square at first, but Abhinav was concerned about the boundary cushions, so he dropped it down with the ball touching touch with the ropes. Dube is out on the final pitch of the inning. CSK finished with a score of 169/5. To win, GT will need to score 170 points.
Ruturaj Gaikwad finds form; hits a blistering 73 of 48 balls
Gaikwad stated, “It’s good to get a hit under your belt. I’m unhappy that I couldn’t finish; we’re probably 10-15 short, but the wicket is sluggish, so we’ll try to field properly. There are a lot of positive people in the CSK management and set-up, and I consider myself fortunate to be here, so they help me stay cheerful. Things happen in cricket; all you can do is attempt to be optimistic. We’re simply trying to time the ball because, as I mentioned, the wicket is a little slower. One of the boundaries is short, so we’ll have to bowl and defend exceptionally effectively. There has been some seam motion and it was a little two-paced, which I hope will continue for the duration of the project.”
