Chennai skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and decided to field, but Gujarat openers skipper Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan looked comfortable.<\/p>\n
Gill, who hit 37-ball 64 with seven fours and three sixes, and Sai, who made a 53-ball 84 with four sixes and seven fours, shared a 125-run opening partnership.<\/p>\n

The duo raced to 100 in the tenth over, with Gill taking the early initiative. After Gill fell to Australia\u2019s Spencer Johnson, England\u2019s Jos Buttler took charge with an aggressive and unbeaten 27-ball 57.<\/p>\n
Buttler and Sai put on 82 before Sai fell in the 19th over to Indian rookie Anshul Kamboj.<\/p>\n
Most Chennai bowlers looked ordinary and leaked runs as Gujarat finished at 4-229.<\/p>\n
Chennai\u2019s batters never got going, with player-of-the-match Siraj removing India teammate, Sanju Samson, for a first-ball duck.<\/p>\n
Siraj removed Gaikwad in the third over after promising season-ball 16, and dismissed Urvil Patel for another duck in the same over.<\/p>\n
That reduced Chennai to 3-29. Siraj\u2019s pace bowling partner, South Africa\u2019s Kagiso Rabada, was equally impressive and removed Australian opener Matthew Short after 14-ball 24.<\/p>\n
Rabada finished with figures of 3-32 in 3.4 overs. In-form Siraj took 3-26 in his four overs.<\/p>\n
\u201cBall is coming out nicely,\u201d Siraj said after the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy to be driven through covers (and) that\u2019s what came off with Samson\u2019s wicket,\u201d Siraj added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile bowling in the powerplay, my priority is to build pressure. With that, even Rabada can get wickets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shivam Dube was the only Chennai batter who put up some resistance. He hit a 17-ball 47 before he fell to Afghanistan\u2019s Rashid Khan.<\/p>\n
Khan finished with 3-18 in his two overs.<\/p>\n
Gill said it was an \u201cimportant win\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy to go in with the momentum we have,\u201d the winning skipper said looking ahead to the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy with my batting, every time you\u2019re out you think you could\u2019ve done better,\u201d Gill added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gujarat Titans beat Chennai Super Kings by 89 runs with a clinical all round performance in Ahmedabad on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":686255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-686254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
