‘When MS Dhoni comes to play…’: Rashid Khan after Gujarat Titans’ win over Chennai Super Kings | Cricket News

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.

‘Had a cappuccino and thought I…’: Dinesh Karthik sums up RCB’s batting collapse | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru‘s explosive start, led by Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, set the tone for a thrilling encounter. Du Plessis, in particular, showcased his aggressive intent, smashing the ball to all corners and registering the franchise’s second-fastest fifty off 18 balls against Gujarat Titans in the IPL match in Bengaluru.While du Plessis took on the aggressor role, Kohli provided crucial support, resulting in their highest Powerplay score of 92 in the history of the IPL.However, a dramatic turn of events saw Bengaluru lose momentum, slipping from 92/1 to 111/5. Kohli, undeterred by the falling wickets, anchored the innings, losing partners but holding one end firmly.Dinesh Karthik‘s arrival provided much-needed support, and despite Kohli’s dismissal, Karthik kept his calm and targeted Rashid Khan to get things back under control.With Swapnil Singh also contributing crucial runs, Bengaluru’s resilience shone through as they successfully chased down the 147-run target with 38 balls to spare, showcasing the team’s depth and determination in overcoming adversity.Veteran RCB batter Karthik, who hadn’t thought of coming to bat with the way their openers started the chase, gave full credit to Kohli and du Plessis for the four-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans.“I started with a cup of tea, then after four overs I had a cappuccino and thought I wouldn’t be batting.” Things happened, and then I had to have a bat,” Karthik said after the match.“[Approach] How to hit boundaries, basic cricketing skills come through. I backed myself to get the job done. The pitch was good to bowl on, having been under the covers there was a bit of moisture.Good toss to win but the bowlers did the job beautifully. The way Faf and Virat batted, I don’t think they would have played the same shots batting first! [Advice to Swapnil] Play for the one that comes in. If you feel sweep is a good option, back yourself to do it but commit to the shot, don’t be half-hearted,” Karthik added.
