IPL CSK vs GT Live Score: A MSD moment
"I've still got it I guess," Virat Kohli said after his fantastic innings against Punjab Kings on Monday night. You could say that for the second straight night as well, this time about MS Dhoni's glovework. All evening, the Chennai fans were rooting for their Thala to come out to bat. Every time his face was shown on the screen, a huge roar went up. But he remained in the dressing room during CSK's batting innings, with the likes of Sameer Rizvi and Ravindra Jadeja coming out to bat in the end overs.
But the fans would get their MSD moment. Daryl Mitchell induced an outside edge off Vijay Shankar. Dhoni seemed to be planted on his left foot, but managed to put in a full-length dive to his right and get both hands to the ball. As he completed the catch, it wasn't just the fans who roared in delight. Even his teammates mobbed him in celebrations while he just had a knowing smile. Still got it. (By Vinayakk Mohanarangan)

IPL CSK vs GT Live Score: Dube, the game-changer
Ravichandran Ashwin once called him 'Yuvraj Singh lite'. The swing of the bat, the clean hitting when he times it well and the fact that he can clear the boundaries are some of the similarities between Shivam Dube and 'Yuvi'. But unlike Yuvraj who made an immediate impact, Dube's career has been up and down. At CSK, he has been unburdened and the fear of failure seems to have gone out of the window. Dube, like a lot of Indian batsmen, is susceptible to the short ball and with two bouncers allowed in an over now, he will have to pick and choose his horizontal bat shots. Against Gujarat Titans, Dube had a perfect game with the bat. He easily dealt with the short ball from pacer Spencer Johnson and dispatched it to the deep fine leg for a six. The left-hander treated Rashid Khan's googly with utter disdain; he spotted it early and deposited it over the long on fence. Five sixes and two four in a whirlwind 51 to go with an unbeaten 34 against RCB in the season opener. Though not yet in the Yuvraj Singh league, there is no telling how far his new-found confidence will take him. (From Nihal Koshie)

Welcome back for the chase with Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill in the middle. Chahar will open the attack. Starts with 3 back to back dots as Saha is cautious. He finally gets a single away and Gill can see off this over. And he sees it off with a straight six. Excellent way to finish the over.
IPL CSK vs GT Live Score: Rachin Ravindra speaks
It was a pretty good wicket to bat on. The new ball was coming on nicely. It was about showing some intent, good to bat with Ruturaj. The outfields in India are pretty quick, you get pretty good value for your shots. As a player you want to take down the powerplay. It (total) is slightly over par, but still it's a very good wicket. There's slight dew on the oufield. (Will bowl a few overs) hopefully.
IPL CSK vs GT Live Score: Chennai Super Kings post 206/6

Straight down the throat of the fielder. Jadeja in the middle now and he ramps for 2 runs. 200 up for CSK. Ohhh!! Lucky. Went for a yorker, Jadeja gets a touch and that's a boundary.

CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024:Two cooks spoil the fielding
A misunderstanding between two batters often results in a run-out. One between two fielders doesn't always have such a drastic consequence. But Gujarat Titans – already reeling from the Rachin Ravindra rampage at the top of the order – didn't need what happened between David Miller and Rahul Tewatia in the ninth over. It was an innocuous push to the onside by Ajinkya Rahane and would have been only a single, at most a brace. That was before the fielders intervened, or decided not too. Miller was running in from long-on and Tewatia from deep midwicket. They reached the ball at almost the same time but when they got there, they decided to leave it for each other. As a result, the ball ran unimpeded to almost the boundary, and Rahane got four runs without finding the rope. What transpired would have made sense if the fielding side was Lucknow Super Giants. After all, the Uttar Pradesh capital is renowned for its 'pehle aap' culture. However, that doesn't always work on the cricket field where leaving the job to someone else is, more often than not, frowned upon. It certainly didn't improve Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill's mood at a crucial stage. (From Tushar Bhaduri)
CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings 127/3 after 12.3 overs

On to the 12th over and mohit Sharma will bowl this one to Gaikwad who takes a singke straight away as the destructive Dube comes on strike. He has already hit 2 sixes after replacing Rahane in the middle. What's in store for Mohit? Not much as he takes a single to rotate strike. Ruturaj with a single of his own next. Wide ball next and Dube pulls the 4th for another single. So far, so good in this over. 7 from this one.
CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings 104/2 after 10.1 overs

Last over inside the Powerplay and Rachin has smashed the short ball by Rashid Khan for a boundary. Ohhh!!! Is he gone the next ball? Looks like he's stumped. We go upstairs to confirm as the keeper and bowler look confident. And yes, he's out of his crease and there's the breakthrough.

CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings 58/0 after 5 overs

Rachin on strike and he has picked up the third ball for a monster six!! How did CSK get him so cheap in the IPL auctions? After he evades a short ball, Rachin drives again and gets a four. Exquisite stuff from the Kiwi batter. A wide by the bowler as the pressure mounts on him. Takes a single to keep strike for the next over. 17 from it
Chennai Super Kings bring up their fifty inside five overs. Once again shows how they have come out on top gear with the bat. It was a common scene last season where they went at over 10 an over in the first powerplay. And this time despite Devon Conway not sound, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra have given another strong start. (From Venkata Krishna B)
CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings 41/0 after 4 overs
Yadav will bowl the 4th over and Rachin starts this one off like the last one. He starts with a six off the first ball before smashing the ex-KKR bowler for a four in the next delivery. Takes a single next and Gaikwad is back on strike and he is in on the party as well. Just opens the face of the bat and places the ball to square third man for a boundary!! A single to end the over.

CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Mitchell Santner might feel hard done by
In all of this, Mitchell Santner would feel hard done by. He had a superb outing for New Zealand at the last year's World Cup at Chepauk. But he once again warms the bench here. Although Pathirana has been named as the Impact Player, if the pitch turns out to be dry, Chennai have the option of bringing Santner as well. But that looks far fetched as of now. (From Venkata Krishna B)
CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Why playing Pathirana makes more sense
Chennai Super Kings have dropped Maheesh Theekshana. Though it may raise eyebrows, the move to bring in Matheesha Pathirana makes total sense. With Rachin Ravindra in the XI, who is also capable of bowling four overs, Chennai believe Pathirana will provide them with the edge. As far as Theekshana goes, since joining the Super Kings he hasn't created the sort of impact that the team would have expected from him at Chepauk. (From Venkata Krishna B)

We get enough rest time between matches. It shows the character of the team, the way our bowlers bounced back against Mumbai. Playing with the same team.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: We were looking to bowl first, wicket is hard and looks similar to the first game. It was a rusty start (against RCB) but we came back well. Everyone showed good intent throughout the innings. Pathirana comes in for Theekshana.

"It's a different pitch tonight. Looks a really good wicket, there was bounce and carry in the first game. There's a lot of grass on the surface, unsual for a Chepauk pitch. There are a few patches where there's an uneven covering of grass. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs. It's a bat-first wicket," says Matthew Hayden.

After just five games, the 17th season of IPL has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Chennai Super Kings have a new captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad after Mahendra Singh Dhoni relinquished his role. Royal Challengers Bangalore are now Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Ten deliveries is all that Mustafizur Rahman needed to take the fizz out of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In those 10 deliveries he accounted for Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli and Cameron Green as RCB’s top-order danced to Rahman’s tunes an hour after AR Rahman had Chepauk dancing on its feet.
Bengaluru recovered through a 95-run stand between Anuj Rawat (48) and Dinesh Karthik (38 n.o) to post 173/6, a total that was well below par. (READ MORE)
