CSK vs GT IPL 2025: Chennai Crush Titans by 83 Runs with Clinical Bowling Assault - Bringing You the Greatest Moments in Sports

Titans Crumble Under Pressure in Massive Chase

CSK Chasing a mammoth 231-run target, Gujarat Titans were expected to come out firing. However, what unfolded was a tale of collapses, desperation, and complete dominance by the Chennai Super Kings bowling unit. GT were bowled out for 147 in 18.3 overs, handing CSK a thumping 83-run victory and a timely boost to their net run rate.

Lightning Strikes Early: Kamboj & Khaleel Destroy the Top Order

🔹 Shubman Gill’s Spark Extinguished Early

After hitting a delightful six and a four, Shubman Gill’s stay was cut short when Anshul Kamboj got one to hold its line. Gill, trying to loft again, edged to slip for 13 (9), setting the tone for GT’s struggle.

🔹 Buttler Follows Suit

Jos Buttler, too, fell prey early—mistiming a pull off Khaleel Ahmed to deep point. With two top guns gone inside the Powerplay, CSK gained early momentum.

Middle-Order Mayhem: CSK Rips Through the Core

🔸 Rutherford Misfires

Trying to pull a delivery that cramped him, Rutherford managed only a top edge. Ayush Mhatre’s diving catch ended his stay for a duck.

🔸 Shahrukh & Sudharsan’s Brief Resistance

Sai Sudharsan, however, showed class with 41 off 28 (6 fours), playing a few delightful strokes—especially through the off-side. He found support from Shahrukh Khan, who hit a couple of massive sixes during his 19(15). Together they provided GT their only flicker of hope.

Collapse in Motion: Jadeja, Noor Ahmad, and Pathirana Combine

🔹 Jadeja’s Double-Strike

Ravindra Jadeja turned the tide completely in CSK’s favor with two wickets in four balls—Shahrukh edging to Pathirana and Sudharsan carving one straight to Dube. GT slumped from 73/3 to 73/5 in no time.

🔹 Noor’s Afghan Wizardry

In a twist of match-up fate, Noor Ahmad dismissed fellow Afghan Rashid Khan, who was trying to swing his way out. Earlier, Rashid had shown promise with a six and four, but Noor had the last laugh.

He then struck again to remove Rahul Tewatia, tossing one outside off that induced a miscue to extra cover. Noor’s spell of 3/22 was a masterclass in control and guile.

Pathirana’s Thunderbolts: Yorkers & Wickets

🔸 Coetzee Bowled, Khan Blasted

Matheesha Pathirana, who had already bagged a couple of key middle-over scalps this season, joined the party by bowling Gerald Coetzee with a low, skiddy delivery. He then faced some late fireworks from Arshad Khan, but ended his spell economically after his early breakthrough.

Arshad’s Last Stand: Three Mighty Sixes

If there was one GT batter who tried to swing momentum back, it was Arshad Khan. He struck three towering sixes—two off Pathirana and one off Hooda—scoring a quick 20 off 14. But just as his cameo started to sting, Noor returned to castle him with a googly, all but sealing the game.

🎯 -Final Blow: Kamboj’s Return Caps the Rout

Anshul Kamboj, who had already dismissed Gill and Rutherford, came back to finish things off. He banged in a short ball to Sai Kishore, who top-edged a pull, and MS Dhoni, fittingly, took the final catch.

📊 Final Score:

GT 147 all out in 18.3 overs
Top scorer: Sai Sudharsan 41 (28)

With this win, Chennai not only avoids the wooden spoon but also boosts their net run rate, keeping their faint playoff hopes mathematically alive.

Gujarat, on the other hand, will rue a top-order failure and lack of partnerships. Their inconsistency in the middle order was ruthlessly exposed today.
