CSK defied all odds and advanced to the Finals by crushing the reigning champions in the first qualifier. As per usual, MS Dhoni has guided this team with accuracy, made the most of the resources, and consistently produced results. Aiming for a fifth IPL trophy this year, Chennai Super Kings already appear invincible.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have given good starts. Shivam Dube has been outstanding this year; he came in and gave the innings some oomph. They have Tushar Deshpande among their top wicket-takers, who has been a touch on the expensive side, but Dhoni won’t mind as long as he is taking the wickets.
In particular, Matheesha Pathirana has been quite outstanding, while Maheesh Theekshana’s accuracy has been flawless. These two Sri-Lankans have done miracles for Chennai. Overall, Super Kings are in good shape; they were the only team in this game to have a better appearance than the team they will be facing.
Many believed that Gujarat Titans’ season was over after they lost the Qualifier 1 since they would face a tough Mumbai Indians team later on. But the Titans were able to prevail, winning by a massive 62-run margin. Shubman Gill scored his third century of the season, further showing his status as a star of this generation.
In the bowling front, they have Mohammed Shami, who is the current purple cap holder. Hardik Pandya has led the Titans well. This season, when they were having trouble breaking through, Mohit Sharma showed up and delivered for them. He was the hero in clash against MI, picking up a fifer wickets for only 10 runs.
