Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans by 83 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday.Chennai Super Kings put on a strong show that seriously hurt GT’s chances of finishing in the top two of the IPL 2025. While GT was bowled out for 147 in 18.3 overs, CSK made 230 for five thanks to superb fifties from Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis.

Due to the loss of important batters Sherfane Rutherford, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill during the Power Play, GT’s chase of 231 got off to a bad start, managing just 35 runs.
