Coming back to on-field developments, MS Dhoni produced a quickfire 14 off just seven balls. The Chennai Super Kings skipper’s final-over exploits guided his side in reaching a formidable total of 178/7 against defending champions Gujarat Titans. Earlier, Chennai opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad came up with a majestic knock of 50-ball 92.
Dhoni and Gaikwad’s brilliance with the bat, however, went in vain as Gujarat reached the target with four balls to spare. Gujarat batter Shubman Gill pulled off a sublime knock of 62 to earn a five-wicket victory for his side. Gujarat’s Rashid Khan was adjudged Player of the Match for registering commendable figures of 2/26 in the game.
