Ahmedabad, May 26, 2025 — The electric atmosphere at the Narendra Modi Stadium bore witness to one of the most dominant performances of the season as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) outclassed the Gujarat Titans (GT) with a resounding 83-run victory in Match 67 of the T20 league. In a high-stakes encounter that carried playoff implications, CSK stamped their authority with a perfect blend of explosive batting and precision bowling.
From the moment the toss was won and the decision to bat was taken, CSK never looked back. Their top order unleashed a torrent of boundaries, with Dewald Brevis’s blistering 57 off just 23 balls setting the stage for a mammoth total. He was ably supported by Devon Conway’s fluent 52 off 35 balls and Urvil Patel’s cameo of 37, propelling the Super Kings to a massive 230/5 — one of the highest team totals of the tournament.
Faced with an uphill chase, Gujarat Titans faltered under the scoreboard pressure. Despite a valiant effort from Sai Sudharsan (41 off 28), the Titans crumbled against CSK’s disciplined bowling attack, getting bowled out for 147 in 18.3 overs. It was a statement win by CSK that echoed through the league, signaling their formidable form as the playoffs approach.
Batting Brilliance from Chennai Super Kings
Winning the toss and opting to bat first, CSK set the tone early with a blistering opening partnership. Dewald Brevis was the standout performer, smashing 57 runs off just 23 balls, laced with boundaries and towering sixes that left the GT bowlers rattled. Devon Conway played a steady anchor role with a composed 52 off 35 balls, ensuring momentum was never lost. Urvil Patel also made a valuable contribution with 37 from 19 deliveries, pushing the Super Kings to a daunting total of 230/5 in their allotted 20 overs.
Despite the efforts of Prasidh Krishna, who picked up 2 wickets for 22 runs in 4 overs, and economical spells from Shahrukh Khan (1/13 in 1 over) and Sai Kishore (1/23 in 2 overs), the Titans bowlers were largely ineffective against CSK’s aggressive batting line-up.
GT Falter in the Chase
In response, the Gujarat Titans never quite got going. Sai Sudharsan showed some resistance with a quick-fire 41 off 28 balls, and Arshad Khan chipped in with 20 from 14 balls. Shahrukh Khan added 19 from 15 balls, but the rest of the batting unit failed to fire.
CSK’s bowlers were clinical in their execution. Anshul Kamboj led the charge with a brilliant spell, taking 3 wickets for just 13 runs in 2.3 overs. He was ably supported by Noor Ahmad (3/21 in 4 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (2/17 in 3 overs), who spun a web around GT’s middle and lower order. The Titans crumbled for 147 in 18.3 overs, falling well short of the target.
Turning Point of IPL match 67
The aggressive start from CSK’s top order set the match firmly in their control. Dewald Brevis’s explosive innings not only gave CSK a flying start but also deflated the GT bowlers early on. The high total built pressure on the Titans’ batting, leading to rash shots and frequent dismissals.
