GT vs CSK IPL 2024 Match Highlights: This is peak IPL, once again! Defending champions Chennai Super Kings lost to Gujarat Titans in an exciting encounter at Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. This was the do-or-die match for GT and they played like that. Suffering a poor run rate in the powerplay in this season, GT openers – Sai Sudharshan and skipper Shubman Gill kept up the tempo and accelerated the run rate like there was no tomorrow. Both batters smashed brilliant centuries that guided GT to a commanding total of 231/3. In response, CSK started off on a disastrous note. They lost two wickets in first two overs of their chase. Only Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali provided some fightback. Their 4th wicket stand kept CSK in the hunt till Mohit Sharma’s twin attack jolted their chase. After that, CSK were never able to recover despite some killer shots by Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni. Those sixes were too few and were not enough. In the last over, CSK needed 52 off 6 balls and over 90,000 people in Narendra Modi Stadium knew the verdict. With this 35-run victory, GT are now on number 8 in the IPL points table and in theory, alive in the competition.

For those who don't remember, last time Gujarat Titans played against Chennai Super Kings at this venue for the IPL 2023 finale. And what a finale it was. There was rain, mismanagement, a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry looooooooooong wait, interuuptions that made it that longest finale played in the history of IPL. A T20 match palyed in 3 days, yup, it happened. But that's now a thing of past. Both GT and CSK are under new leadership. Despite some flashes of brilliance, GT have been inconsistent in their game. CSK have somehow managed to hold the fort and remain in the contention.
In this season of the Indian Premier League, one rule that has been debated a lot is that of impact sub. Recently BCCI General Secretary Jay Shah said that this rule of impact sub is an experiment. It is a 'test case.' The rule has been severely slammed by the bowlers. Indian Cricket team captain and MI player Rohit Sharma had also spoken against it.
In Ahmedabad, the trend favors chasing due to improving batting conditions as the evening progresses and dew settles in. Out of the last 21 IPL matches held there, 13 have been won by the team batting second, increasing the pressure on Ruturaj Gaikwad to alter his luck with the toss. The average first-innings score during this period stands at 188.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of GT sv CSK IPL match 59 today. This is a do-or-die match for the Titans. At bottom of the points table, a loss at their home ground would mean elimination from the competition. Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings have already been knocked out in the last two matches.
In this season of Indian Premier League, Gujarat Titans did not have a blazing start in comparison with the last two seasons. Tonight's match is very important for them. Because the loss at Narendra Modi stadium would mean an end of the road for Shubman Gill & co. Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, are better placed. But they still need this win in order to have a solid position in the playoff race.
