CSK vs GT Match Report: In what turned out to be a run-fest at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) delivered a ruthless all-round performance to hammer Gujarat Titans (GT) by 83 runs in the 67th match of IPL 2025. Led by power-packed knocks from Dewald Brevis and Devon Conway, and a clinical bowling display from Anshul Kamboj and Ravindra Jadeja, CSK made a bold statement ahead of the playoffs.
CSK Bat First and Go Big: 230/5 in 20 Overs
Winning the toss, CSK opted to bat first and made full use of the batting-friendly surface. Devon Conway laid the foundation with a well-crafted 52 off 35 balls, anchoring the innings with classic stroke play and timely boundaries.
However, it was South African star Dewald Brevis who lit up the evening with a breathtaking 57 off just 23 balls, smashing sixes at will and accelerating CSK’s run rate in the death overs. His fearless hitting dismantled the GT attack and tilted the momentum completely in CSK’s favor.
Supporting contributions from the middle order, including a quick cameo from the lower order, helped CSK post a massive 230/5, setting the Titans an almost insurmountable target.
GT Falter Under Pressure: Bowled Out for 147
In response, Gujarat Titans were off to a shaky start and never really recovered. Though Sai Sudharsan tried to stabilize the innings with a composed 41 off 28, wickets kept tumbling from the other end. GT’s chase was further derailed by the brilliance of young Anshul Kamboj, who returned with stunning figures of 3/13 in just 2.3 overs, choking the run flow and taking key wickets at crucial moments.
Veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja was also at his economical best, picking 2/17 in 3 overs, while Noor Ahmad, though impressive earlier with the ball (3/21), couldn’t make an impact with the bat.
GT’s innings folded at 147 in 18.3 overs, handing CSK a dominating 83-run victory — one of their biggest wins of the season.
