Qualifier 1: Ruturaj Gaikwad bring up his Fourth IPL 2023 Fifty help CSK post competitive total of 172

Ruturaj Gaikwad smashed his fourth IPL 2023 fifty in the Qualifier 1 of the tournament being played between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Ruturaj Gaikwad scores 60 off 44

Notably, the right-hander CSK opener has been one of the most consistent performers of the cash-rich tournament this edition. Getting his half-century in just 36 balls, he smashed 6 fours and 1 six in his crucial innings for his team.

Earlier, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. GT made just one change, bringing back Darshan Nalkande for Yash Dayal. But Chennai Super Kings are unchanged.

Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Live, Qualifier 1 IPL 2023 :

Tuesday’s Qualifier-1 match pits Gujarat Titans current champions against the four-time IPL champion Chennai Super Kings.

Gujarat Titans haven’t played there, and the Chepauk hasn’t behaved very well in any of CSK’s seven home games, which has led head coach Stephen Fleming to express concerns about what to anticipate.

The fact that GT is a squad that appears to be the closest match for what CSK has been over these years in the IPL makes this match much more intriguing.

With the help of their head coach Ashish Nehra, GT recently examined the strategy used by the Chennai Super Kings, identified their strengths, and attempted to duplicate it.

Playing XI –

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha(w), Hardik Pandya(c), Dasun Shanaka, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Darshan Nalkande, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami;

Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana
