NEW DELHI: Skipper Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan delivered exceptional centuries in a record-equaling opening partnership of over 200 runs, propelling the Gujarat Titans to a comfortable 35-run victory over the Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match on Friday. This win keeps Gujarat’s playoff hopes alive.Sudharsan scored 103 off 51 balls, hitting five fours and seven sixes, while Gill notched the season’s first century with a superb 104 off 55 balls, including six sixes.Together, they helped GT set an imposing total of 231 for 3 after being put into bat. The duo’s partnership of 210 runs for the first wicket matched the record set by Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul in 2022.In pursuit of the challenging target, CSK had a rocky start, but Daryl Mitchell (63 off 34) and Moeen Ali (56 off 36) shared a 109-run stand for the fourth wicket to keep the team in contention. However, the target proved too steep, and CSK were ultimately held to 196 for 8 in their 20 overs.“You love to watch those two (Gill and Sudharsan), really enjoyed the way they played, happy to be on the winning side though. Happy to get a couple of wickets, my body is feeling better. Had a back issue, it’s good and it’s better now, very soon I will be all fit,” Rashid said after the match.Despite a late surge from Mahendra Singh Dhoni with a quick 26 off 11 balls, it wasn’t enough to secure the win for the defending champions.Dhoni tonked a couple of one-handed maximums to enthrall the Ahmedabad crowd. Gujarat Titans spinner Rashid Khan, who claimed two wickets in his team’s win, was in awe of Dhoni and his fan following. “I have bowled against him (Dhoni), when he comes to play it’s a different feeling, it gives us a good energy, happy to play with him,” Rashid said.For Gujarat Titans, Mohit Sharma (3/31) stood out among the bowlers.

Gujarat Titans openers Shubhman Gill and Sai Sudarshan scored brilliant centuries during the Indian Premier League 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad on May 10, 2024. | Photo Credit: Vijay Soneji Put into bat, Gujarat Titans openers Shubhman Gill (104) and Sai Sudarshan (103) take their team to a gigantic total of 231 for 3 against Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad on May 10. THe openers added 210 runs in 17.2 overs. It is the first time that a team has scored more than 200 runs as the opening partnership against Chennai Super Kings. None of the CSK bowlers made an impact against the rampaging Gill and Sudarshan. Dropping of catches and misfields from Chennai Super Kings fielders added salt to the injury. During his course of century knock, Sai Sudarshan completed fastest 1000 IPL runs Interestingly, Gill and Sudarshan scored 100th and 101st centuries in the Indian Premier League. Sudarshan and Gill were dismissed with the score at 213 runs on the board. Of the CSK bowlers, only Shardul Thakur (0 for 25) was the pick of the bowlers. Tushar Deshpande (2 for 33) was the wicket-taker. All the other bowlers went for runs. Earlier, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and decided to bowl against Gujarat Titans in the 59th match. Currently, CSK are at the fourth place in the table with 12 points. GT has lost seven matches after playing 11 matches. They are at the 10th place in the table. Speaking at the toss, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad confirmed that Rachin Ravindra has replaced Richard Gleeson in the playing eleven. “We will bowl first. Looks a good wicket, to be honest. It’s been a chasing ground, so we will look to chase. Pretty much similar to Chennai. We didn’t like a red solid wicket much. Pretty relaxed. You tend to lose many games in IPL, you have to back everyone and make sure everyone is in a good head space. We had injuries in between, but happy. Rachin comes in for Gleeson,” Gaikwad said. GT captain Shubman Gill said Kartik Tyagi came in the first eleven in place of Joshua Little. “Would have bowled first as well, looks a good wicket. There’s a 1% chance of qualifying, so we are going to try hard for that. The mood is like any other match, we as a team believe in doing the best we can. Will be a good surface to bat on. Will score runs and try to restrict them. Wade comes in for Saha who has a niggle. In order to balance the team combination Kartik Tyagi comes in for Jos Little,” Gill said. Teams Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (Wk), Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Simarjeet Singh.

BCCI/IPL Virat Kohli and Jonny Bairstow in the PBKS vs RCB IPL 2024 match on May 9, 2024 Royal Challengers Benagluru registered a dominant 60-run win over Punjab Kings to continue their resurgence in the IPL 2024 on Thursday. A win boosted Bengaluru’s chances of making the playoff significantly but Punjab Kings became the second team after Mumbai Indians to suffer an early elimination. Virat Kohli produced a memorable knock by smashing 92 runs off just 47 balls as Bengaluru posted a 241/7, their third-highest total in IPL, while batting first at Dharamsala’s HPCA Stadium. Then spinners Karn Sharma and Swapnil Singh claimed early wickets to bowl out Punjab to an 181 total in 17 overs. Both teams needed two points to remain in contention for the playoff qualification. Punjab recalled Liam Livingstone in the place of the South African pacer Kagiso Rabada while the speedster Lockie Ferguson replaced Glenn Maxwell for Bengaluru. After being forced out to bat first, in-form Virat Kohli continued his red-hot form with an aggressive approach from the beginning. Bengaluru lost skipper Faf du Plessis and batting all-rounder Will Jacks early in the powerplay but Kohli kept the runs flowing a stunning batting. Kohli and Rajat Patidar added 76 runs for the third wicket with the latter recording his fourth fifty of the season in just 21 balls. Kohli also introduced his sixth fifty in the IPL 2024 in 32 balls but missed out on his century by just eight runs. He top-scored with 92 runs off just 47 balls with the help of seven fours and six sixes to display his remarkable big-hitting skills again. Cameron Green contributed with 46 runs and Dinesh Karthik played a quick cameo as Bengaluru posted a huge total in a must-win game. Harshal Patel took three wickets for 47 and the debutant pacer Vidwath Kaverappa picked two for Punjab Kings. Chasing a record tough target, Punjab Kings lost opener Prabhsimran Singh in the very first over off Swapnil Singh’s delivery. Rilee Rossouw and Jonny Bairstow then quickly added 65 runs for the second wicket to keep Punjab alive in the chase. Rossouw produced his first fifty of the season in just 21 balls but was dismissed by Karn Sharma after scoring 61 off 27 balls. Punjab lost both settled Rossouw and Bairstow in quick succession to spin and then were never able to make a comeback. Shashank Singh scored 37 runs off 19 balls to show some fight in the middle over but didn’t get much support from his teammates. Mohammed Siraj made a late impact with three wickets to bowl out Punjab Kings to 181 in 17 overs. Virat Kohli bagged the Player of the Match award for his memorable knock.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 10, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Tips Shubman Gill has been ordinary so far in IPL 2024 but how long can a player of the calibre of Gill be kept quit. Law of averages have to come in at some point thus we are optimistic that Gill can do well against CSK. He could be backed as GT top batter. Mohit Sharma has bowled well in matches played at Narendra Modi Stadium due to the spongy nature and his style of bowling. Back him as top bowler.Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in great form and is the leading run scorer for CSK, with 541 runs. Back him as CSK top batter. Ravindra Jadeja has found form and bagged a three wicket haul against PBKS. He is our preferred pick for CSK top bowler.Out of the four matches played at Narendra Modi Stadium, two matches have seen scores of 200+ while two matches have been low scoring ones. However, both matches have seen a lot of wickets fall. Total wickets in the match could be over 12.5. Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 59th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and will start at 7:30 PM IST on May 10. Gujarat Titans need a miracle to qualify for the playoffs. With just four wins in 11 games, they are placed at the bottom of the points table. GT need to win all three games by massive margins to have any hopes of qualifying but they play CSK, KKR and SRH, the three most dangerous teams in IPL 2024, in their following matches. The road to the final looks a distant dream and to be fair, the IPL 2022 champions have not shown any signs of a team that is competing to win. Meanwhile, CSK returned to winning ways after they defeated PBKS by 28 runs. CSK need wins in all three games to assure themselves a playoff berth. The points table is jam packed and SRH, DC, LSG and even RCB are in the fray for the final two spots. In an ideal situation, CSK would look to win all three games and book a berth in playoffs, however, if they’d to lose a game, it certainly won’t be against GT. CSK have RR to play in Chennai thus a win against GT is a must to keep them in good space. However, lack of consistency from Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja is a cause of concern. Also, with Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana out, the bowling looks bleak. Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionThe captains winning the toss should chase. There could be some dew in evening while the ground dimensions and impact player rule make batting second a more feasible option. Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium in generally good for batting. However, the last game here saw the batters struggle for timing. If the same pitch is used, spinners could come into play. A score of 180 should be par here but there is nothing such as a safe score in IPL 2024. Ahmedabad Weather ReportIt will be a hot evening in Ahmedabad, with temperature touching the 30 degree mark. The humidity will be 37 percent while the wind speed will be 14 km/h.

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Punjab Kings take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday evening in Match 58 of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Both sides have won four of their 11 games and are four points from the top four places with three to go. Read on as we preview this match. The fixture gets underway at 19:30 local time at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala on May 9th. After beating Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings were unable to make it three wins in a row when they lost the return fixture with CSK on Sunday. However, they have players in strong form with bat and ball and they will back themselves to beat RCB. RCB got another win on Saturday when they beat the struggling Gujarat Titans and there is plenty of belief across their side at the moment. That said, they almost threw away a strong position in that match and they will need to be careful not to give Punjab Kings a way back in during this game. PBKS vs RCB Match Toss PredictionOf the 12 IPL matches played at this venue, seven have been won by team batting first. In this clash at the HPCA Stadium, with CSK winning the last fixture here batting first, we predict both skippers will choose to bat if they win the toss. PBKS vs RCB Pitch ReportThe average score batting first at the HPCA Stadium is 179 and we saw CSK post 167/9 earlier this month. We expect the pitch to be quicker in this clash throughout the game with runs coming a little easier than in Match 53. A par score for the team batting first is likely to be over 185. Dharamsala Weather ReportThe forecast is for clear skies from start to finish on Thursday evening with the temperature in the mid-twenties. We do not expect the temperature to drop below 22 degrees and there is no danger of rain interrupting.

He has scored 444 runs for SRH at a strike rate of 180 this season. Back him as SRH top batter. T Natarajan has taken 13 wickets for the team. He has deceived batters with his variations which could be handy on Hyderabad track. Back him as SRH top bowler.For LSG, KL Rahul has been the best batter, scoring 431 runs. He is very capable to tackle class SRH bowling thus he is our pick for top batter. With the ball, Yash Thakur has taken 11 wickets and can be backed as LSG top bowler.SRH have failed to post big runs in the last few games but it is the same team that posted 250+ scores three times this season. We feel that SRH would be explosive against LSG. Back them to over 60 runs in Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website.

The game will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST on May 8. SRH suffered a defeat to Mumbai Indians in the previous game which meant that the team slipped to fourth on the points table. The race to the playoffs is getting stiff but SRH are still well placed, with 12 points in 11 games. A win in two out of the three games should be enough to help them to go through the playoffs; however, SRH’s recent form could be a cause of concern as they have lost three out of the last four games. Meanwhile, LSG also have 12 points in six games which make the coming game very interesting. The winner of the game will take a big leap towards the playoff berth while the loser’s chances will take a massive dip. LSG suffered a 98 run loss to KKR in the previous game. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Toss PredictionCaptains winning the toss should chase. The last game here saw RR almost chasing 202, losing the game by just 1 runs. Defending is very tough here given short boundaries and the impact player rule. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is tailor-made for batters. Four matches have been played at this ground and each match has seen at least one score of 200+ so expect another high scoring game. A score of 200 is just about par here.
