Shubman Gill’s decision to bowl first did not go in Gujarat Titians' favour.
CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra gave the team a flying start.
Both of them scored 46 runs each and built an opening partnership of 92 runs.
GT bowlers tried to bounce back by dismissing Ajinkya Rahane and Gaikwad quickly.
CSK’s Shivam Dube displayed excellent batting against GT.
Dube scored 51 runs off 23 balls, hitting five sixes and two fours.
Debutant Sameer Rizvi proved his worth by scoring 14 off 6 balls.
CSK’s Deepak Chahar was lethal with the ball.
Chahar dismissed both GT openers and registered figures of 2/28.
Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Mustafizur Rahman claimed two wickets each.
