Gujarat Titans (GT) defeated C🗹hennai Super K♛ings (CSK) by three wickets in a last-over thriller at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadiu👍m in Pune on Sunday.
Chasing 170, Gujarat started badly, losing five wickets for just 87 runs in 12.4 overs. Before CSK could capitalise further, David Miller and Rashid Khan🌳 partnered to send shockwaves to the entire CSK camp with the late bℱlitz.
The pair of Miller and Rashid destroyed CSK bowlers in the latter stage, forming a brilliant partnership of 70 runs for the sixth wi𝔍cket to turn the game into a last-over thriller. Rashid got out for a well-made 21-balꦆl 40 before taking down the equation to 13 needed off six balls with Miller at the crease.
The S🐲outh African star held his nerves and took Gujara🧜t home with a stunning unbeaten knock of 94 runs off 51 deliveries, including 8 fours and 6 sixes.
Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu shined with the willow to help CSK reach a competitive total. The young CSK opener roared back into form, hitting a sensational half-cen𒉰tury. Gaikwad scored 73 off 48 deliveries with the help of 10 boundaries, includ𒐪ing five big sixes.

From 16-3 to chasing this with a ball to spare, Pandya on the bench, & a relatively untested lower order at work — Gujarat Titans can give themselves a nice pat on the back after today's outing.
This has been a🌺 fine effort. They are clearly among the most serious contenders.
