CSK registered a comprehensive 78-run victory over SRH in a dominant display at Chepauk.

Ruturaj Gaikwad led the charge with a magnificent 98, ably supported by key contributions from Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube with the bat.

SRH's chase faltered from the outset. Tushar Deshpande's dream start, picking up two wickets in his opening over.

CSK's bowling attack was exceptional. Deshpande emerged as the star with a four-wicket haul, while Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Matheesha Pathirana, and Mustafizur Rahman all chipped in with crucial wickets to dismantle the SRH batting line-up.

That's catch number 5 for Daryl Mitchell! 

Jaydev Unadkat is the last man in, he is off the mark with a single. Single for Bhuvi too. 

WICKET! Moeen Ali takes a good catch! Unadkat departs for 1 off 2 balls. And with that CSK win by 78 wins!

Tushar Deshpande returns to the attack, looking to add further pressure on the SRH batting lineup. Pat Cummins, the new batsman, faces the first delivery but swings and misses. Deshpande then delivers a bouncer outside off, and Cummins opts to let it go through to the wicketkeeper.

Thinking the delivery might be called a wide, Cummins decides to review, but to his dismay, the decision stands, and he loses the review. However, on the next delivery, Cummins holes out to Mitchell, departing for 5 off 7 balls.

As Pathirana goes off the field again for treatment by the physio, Sameer Rizvi substitutes in for him.

Shardul Thakur takes the ball for the next over. Shahbaz Ahmed plays towards long-on for a single, trying to keep the scoreboard ticking.

However, SRH suffers another blow as Abdul Samad departs for 19 off 18 balls. Rizvi takes the catch without any mistake, and SRH finds themselves seven wickets down.

Pathirana continues his spell, and Klaasen manages to guide the ball towards third man for a single. Abdul Samad then provides a glimmer of hope for SRH by slamming the ball for a powerful six! However, his aggression is short-lived as he swings and misses at the next delivery. He then cuts the ball to point for a single.

Unfortunately for SRH, Klaasen's innings comes to an end as he plays straight into the hands of Mitchell. He departs for 20 off 21 balls, leaving SRH in a dire situation.

With the required rate climbing rapidly and the wickets falling at regular intervals, it seems all but over for SRH at this point.

Jadeja continues his economical spell, conceding just 4 runs in the over. After 14 overs, SRH's score stands at 106 for the loss of 5 wickets. They now require 107 runs from 36 balls.

Pathirana returns to bowl. Klaasen misses the first delivery. He manages to power the next ball to deep midwicket for a single, but boundaries seem to have dried up for SRH. Samad swings and misses at the next delivery, unable to find his rhythm. However, he plays the following delivery towards long-on for a single.

Meanwhile, there seems to be a concern for Gaikwad, who appears to have hurt his finger while fielding the last delivery. The physio comes out to assess him, and Gaikwad looks to be in pain. He seems good to be going now.

Pathirana then bowls a wide yorker, and Klaasen attempts to drive it, but he can only manage a single. The over concludes with a dot ball, as just 3 runs come off it. 

After 15 overs, SRH's score reaches 109 for the loss of 5 wickets. They now require 104 runs from 30 balls.

Jadeja continues his spell, and Abdul Samad clips the first delivery out through square leg for a single. However, the ball is being changed, possibly due to its wet condition. Klaasen then jabs the next delivery to cover for no run. But on the following ball, he unleashes a massive six to provide some much-needed momentum to SRH's innings. The batsmen then exchange a single each, followed by a dot ball to end the over. 

Nine runs come off it, taking SRH's total to 95 for the loss of 5 wickets after 12 overs.

Shardul Thakur is reintroduced into the attack. Samad greets him with a boundary, the ball bouncing short of Moeen Ali. He then takes a single off the next delivery to bring up SRH's 100. Klaasen is on strike, and it will indeed require something special from him to rescue his team from this tricky situation.

Thakur delivers a length ball, which Klaasen cuts to point for a single. The ball falls just short of Dhoni, but the veteran keeper does well to stop it. Another single is added to the total to end the over. Just seven runs come off it as SRH's score inches to 102 for the loss of 5 wickets after 13 overs.

Mustafizur Rahman resumes his spell, and Klaasen plays the first delivery to point for no run. The next ball is cut by Klaasen, but he fails to find the gap for any runs. However, he manages to pull the third delivery gently out to deep midwicket for a single. The batsmen then exchange a single each.

Markram, looking to increase the scoring rate, attempts to push for two runs, but Klaasen hesitates initially before going for the second run. Five runs come off the over as SRH reaches 78 for the loss of 4 wickets after 10 overs.

Matheesha Pathirana is brought into the attack. He starts off with a length ball outside off, and Klaasen underedges it onto the ground, allowing them to sneak a single. Markram then plays down the ground for another single. The partnership between these two batsmen becomes crucial for SRH's chances.

The next delivery drifts down the leg side and is called a wide. After a couple of singles, there's a breakthrough for CSK! Pathirana bowls a delivery that cleans up Markram, knocking the middle stump out of the ground. 

Markram departs for a well-made 32 off 26 balls, leaving SRH in a precarious position.

Abdul Samad is the new batter and he is off the mark with a single.

Jadeja continues his spell, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, along with Markram, manages a single each. However, the next delivery proves decisive as Jadeja strikes! The crowd erupts in a huge roar as MS Dhoni positions himself under a skier, and Reddy departs for a well-played 15 off 15 balls.

With the early wickets of Head and Abhishek, CSK decides to introduce Ravindra Jadeja into the attack for the first over after the powerplay. 

Reddy drives the ball to cover for a single, rotating the strike. Markram follows suit, playing towards long-on for another single. Reddy then showcases his power, hitting the ball hard for two runs. Another single is added to the total as Reddy guides the ball towards midwicket. The over concludes with a single, resulting in six runs from it. It's a good start for Jadeja, putting pressure on the SRH batters. 

After 7 overs, SRH's score stands at 59 for the loss of 3 wickets. They now require 154 runs from 78 balls.

Shardul Thakur is introduced into the attack, but Markram wastes no time in welcoming him with a boundary. However, a no-ball is called for height, allowing Markram to dodge the delivery. With a free hit granted, Markram manages to add just a single run to the total. He then cuts the ball to point for another single. Reddy also contributes with a single of his own.

Following a single each, Reddy collects two easy singles to keep the scoreboard ticking. The over concludes with a single. Eight runs come off it, providing some momentum to the SRH innings. 

After 8 overs, SRH's score reaches 70 for the loss of 3 wickets. They now require 143 runs from 72 balls.

Chahar returns for his third over and bowls a tight length, conceding just three runs as Reddy and Markram play watchfully. 

After 5 overs, SRH reaches 45 for the loss of 3 wickets, requiring 168 runs from 90 balls.

Mustafizur Rahman is introduced into the attack. He fires a full delivery outside off, and Markram reaches out to drive it beautifully for four runs. The next delivery is punched to cover for no run. Mustafizur then delivers a wide yorker, allowing Markram to pick up an additional run. A fuller delivery on the pads enables Reddy to gather a couple of runs. Reddy then takes a quick single to retain the strike. 

The over concludes with a dot ball. Eight runs are scored from it. At the end of the powerplay, SRH reaches 53 for the loss of 3 wickets, with 160 runs needed from 84 balls.

Chahar continues, and Abhishek calmly plays the ball towards midwicket for a single, rotating the strike effectively. Markram, the new batter, announces his arrival with authority, smashing back-to-back boundaries. They continue to accumulate runs with a few well-placed singles to end the over. Twelve runs are added to the total from it. 

After 3 overs, SRH reaches 33 for the loss of 2 wickets. They now require 180 runs from 102 balls.

Tushar Deshpande, riding high after claiming two wickets in two balls, is now on a hat-trick. Markram, however, prevents the hat-trick by calmly flicking the ball for a single. Abhishek, determined to keep the momentum going, cuts the next delivery to the cover point fielder for another single. Then, Abhishek unleashes a powerful shot down the ground, sending the ball racing to the boundary for four runs!

However, just as Abhishek seemed to be finding his rhythm, his innings comes to an abrupt end. A short ball angled across him tempts him to play the cut shot, but unfortunately for him, he finds Daryl Mitchell stationed perfectly at deep point, who takes the catch comfortably. 

Abhishek departs for a brisk 15 off 9 balls, mirroring the fate of Travis Head.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma stride confidently to the middle, ready to chase down the challenging target set by CSK. Meanwhile, Shardul Thakur is introduced into the attack as CSK's impact player, replacing Shivam Dube. Deepak Chahar takes the new ball for CSK.

Head wastes no time getting off the mark, confidently driving the ball to the boundary. The next delivery is firmly struck back to the bowler. Abhishek, too, gets going with a single. Head adds another single to his tally. The following delivery is left untouched by Head. 

The first over concludes with seven runs on the board for the batting side.

Unadkat delivers the penultimate over. Dube swings hard again, and the ball falls between two fielders, allowing them to scamper for two runs. Dube then plays towards long-on for a single, rotating the strike effectively. Gaikwad, on 97 off 51 balls, reaches out for a slower ball and manages to guide it to deep cover for two runs, inching closer to his century. With two more runs off the next delivery, Gaikwad moves to 97. A single on the following ball brings him to 98. 

However, the over ends with a dot ball. Just eight runs come from it. After 19 overs, CSK's total reaches 200 for the loss of two wickets.

As the final over begins, Natarajan takes the ball, with Gaikwad on strike. Natarajan delivers a slower short ball, which Gaikwad can only deflect as far as Klaasen behind the stumps. Gaikwad, aiming for a big hit, skies the ball, and Nitish Kumar Reddy positions himself perfectly to take the catch. Unfortunately, Gaikwad falls just two runs short of his century, departing for a splendid 98 off 54 balls.

Natarajan returns to the attack and starts with a perfect yorker that denies Dube any scoring opportunity. He follows it up with another yorker attempt, but this time it narrowly misses its mark, allowing Dube to dispatch it into the stands for a powerful six! Dube then swings and misses, followed by an appeal for a wide due to height, which is granted by the umpire. Natarajan returns with another precise off-stump yorker, restricting Dube's ability to get underneath it, resulting in just a single. A wide yorker from Natarajan grants Gaikwad a single. Dube, however, responds by smashing the ball into the stands for another six! The next delivery is down the leg side, resulting in a wide call. The over concludes with a single. 

A fruitful over for CSK, accumulating 17 runs from it. After 17 overs, CSK's score jumps to 176 for the loss of two wickets.

Cummins takes up the bowling duties again, but Dube is unfazed as he smashes the ball over the bowler's head for a resounding six! Cummins then drifts down the leg side, resulting in a wide call. Dube continues his assault, playing the ball towards the on-side for another boundary! However, he swings and misses the next delivery, but Klaasen fails to gather it cleanly, allowing Dube to sneak a single. Gaikwad, who has been observing Dube's explosive hitting, is on strike with 90 runs off just 47 balls. He plays it straight to the fielder for a single. The next delivery is lofted in the air, falling between two fielders, allowing Gaikwad to pick up two runs to end the over. 

Sixteen runs are scored from it, propelling CSK's total to 192 for the loss of two wickets after 18 overs.

Bhuvneshwar returns to the attack, and Gaikwad and Dube rotate the strike with a single each. Gaikwad then unleashes his power, smashing a massive six off a short ball. Following it up, he finds the boundary with another well-timed shot. Bhuvneshwar opts for a change in pace, conceding just a single towards deep point to Gaikwad. Dube adds another single to end the over. Fourteen runs are amassed from it. 

After 15 overs, CSK's total climbs to 148 for the loss of two wickets.

Cummins persists with his spell, and Dube nudges the ball for a single to keep the scoreboard ticking. Gaikwad then edges one, the shot mistimed, earning just a solitary run. Cummins follows it up with a yorker aimed at the legs, denying Dube any room to score. However, he manages to steal a single off the next delivery. Cummins slightly misses the mark with a yorker outside off, and Gaikwad capitalises, sending the ball to the boundary for a much-needed four. Then, a slower short ball aimed at the body is met with sheer power from Gaikwad, who smashes it for another boundary, leaving Natarajan with no chance to stop it. 

Eleven runs are added to the total from the over. After 16 overs, CSK reaches 159 for the loss of two wickets.

However, Mitchell's departure is marked by an exceptional catch from Nitish Kumar, taking a stunning catch.

Shahbaz returns to the attack, only to be greeted by Mitchell, who dispatches the first two deliveries for consecutive boundaries.

Could this be the big over CSK has been anticipating? 

The third ball is struck along the ground for a single. Gaikwad then takes his turn to push down the pitch but manages only a single. Nitish and Markram exhibit fine fielding skills to prevent a boundary. Mitchell collects just two runs off the next delivery.

Speaking at the toss, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said that the local boys have said it's better to chase here, so RCB will be chasing tonight. The RCB skipper also adds that bowling hasn't been going well, but T20 bowling has changed. Maxwell comes back in. 

Meanwhile, home skipper Shubman Gill says they too would have chased today because the wicket won't change much. The GT skipper adds they've batted well apart from a couple of games. No changes for the Titans.

While Gujarat Titans will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the afternoon match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Chennai Super Kings will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second match of the day. 

Titans will be wary of Bengaluru's newfound firepower in the middle-order when the teams clash face off. 

The Titans are placed seventh on the table, with eight points from nine matches, and require a victory to float above the growing pile, comprising Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, who are also on eight points.
