The Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 featured a clash between the four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday, May 23.
Coming in to bat first, Chennai managed to post 172 runs through resilient knocks by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. Coming in to chase the target down, the defending champions were unable to put in a good performance with the bat.
Opener Wriddhiman Saha was dismissed for just 12 runs. With just Shubman Gill managing to score 42 runs on the board, Gujarat’s batting attack crumbled under the relentless pressure from Chennai’s bowlers.
