ESPNcricinfo confirmed the full batting and bowling details for this IPL 2025 thriller, showing exactly how CSK built their match-winning total and how GT’s chase unraveled.

Chennai Super Kings Innings

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaekwad won the toss and chose to bat first, a decision that paid off immediately as the batting lineup fired on all cylinders. The innings featured two destructive half-centuries that powered the side to their highest total of the season.

The batting details from ESPNcricinfo reveal how CSK’s top order constructed their 230/5 total, with Dewald Brevis providing the late-innings surge that pushed the score beyond reach.

Brevis reached his fifty in just 19 balls, clubbing 4 fours and 4 sixes in a display of pure power-hitting that NDTV Sports highlighted as a season-defining knock.

Gujarat Titans Innings

GT’s reply never got going. Despite Sai Sudharsan’s 41 off 28 balls providing some stability, the chase derailed in the middle overs as Anshul Kamboj’s stunning spell dismantled the batting order.

The bowling figures demonstrate how CSK’s attack dismantled GT’s batting lineup, with Anshul Kamboj’s 3/13 spell proving particularly destructive.

Fall of Wickets

GT lost wickets at crucial intervals, unable to build partnerships big enough to threaten the 231-run target. The innings ended at 147/10, well short of what was needed.

Ayush Mhatre’s Contribution

Ayush Mhatre provided the acceleration at the top of the order, scoring 34 off 17 deliveries including 3 fours and 3 sixes. His strike rate of 200.00 meant CSK never lost momentum after the powerplay, setting the platform for Brevis’s late assault.

Top Bowlers

The bowling analysis from ESPNcricinfo highlights how CSK’s attack dismantled GT’s middle order, with Anshul Kamboj’s economical spell standing out as the most impactful.

Anshul Kamboj’s figures of 3/13 from just 2.3 overs proved the most impactful spell of the match, breaking GT’s middle order when partnerships began forming. According to ESPNcricinfo, his ability to bowl at the death and extract bounce from the Ahmedabad surface made the difference.

MS Dhoni did not bat in the match, though he was present in the playing XI—a scenario that has become increasingly familiar as the tournament has progressed.

Dhoni in 2026 IPL?

Reports from IPLT20.com suggest Dhoni is unlikely to feature in every remaining fixture, with the franchise managing his workload carefully ahead of potential retirement discussions. Whether the legendary captain takes the field in IPL 2026 remains a decision the franchise has not publicly clarified.

Ruturaj Replacement

Should Ruturaj Gaekwad miss upcoming matches due to injury or international duty, Ayush Mhatre has emerged as the most likely replacement at the top of the order after his performance against GT. The franchise may also look to Devon Conway to take on additional leadership responsibilities if both are unavailable.
