GT Requires 173 Runs To Land Into Final Of IPL 2023, CSK VS GT Qualifier 1.

CSK’s opening batsman, Ruturaj Gaikwad, had a stroke of luck when he was caught at midwicket in the second over, only for the delivery to be declared a no ball. Despite this early setback, Gaikwad showcased his dominance and CSK successfully maintained their opening partnership throughout the powerplay. This was particularly noteworthy as their opponents had proven to be a formidable challenge for batting lineups this season.

Gaikwad’s determination paid off as he went on to achieve a well-deserved half century. Although Conway faced some difficulties in finding his rhythm, the openers managed to navigate through the initial 10 overs of the match. However, CSK faced a setback with the quick succession dismissals of Gaikwad and Shivam Dube after the 10th over. Conway also fell after contributing 40 runs off 34 balls.

In the later stages of the innings, some powerful shots from Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, and Moeen Ali propelled CSK’s total to 172/7.
