The bowling unit of Gujarat Titans faced a challenging outing as they struggled to include the explosive batting lineup of Chennai Super Kings. The most economical and effective bowlers in the lineup were Famous Krishna, who stood out with 4 overs, 22 runs and 2 wickets at the economy rate of 5.50. His disciplined line and length achieved significant success and added some resistance to otherwise difficult innings. Mohammad Siraj and Arshad Khan had expensive mantras. Siraj became wicket -free and scored 47 runs in his 4 overs in the economy of 11.75, while Arshad scored 42 runs in just 2 overs, raising his economy at 21.00. The aggressive CSK batsmen found it easy to score borders with several sixes. However, Rashid Khan experienced and known for his control, conceding 42 runs in 42 runs, managing only 1 wicket. The rate of his economy of 10.50 revealed how experienced bowlers were also tested by attack. Sai Kishore and M Shah Rukh Khan took one wicket each, but it also proved expensive, in limited overs for 23 and 13 runs respectively. Garald Koetzi, another pacer bowled 3 overs and gave 34 runs without taking wickets. Despite some dot balls and good speed, he could not break through CSK speed. Overall, the CSK batsmen dominated the Batsmen in the bowling attack of Gujarat’s Titans, and apart from Prasad Krishna, no bowler could continuously put pressure. The rate of high economy on the board highlighted how to command CSK’s batting performance in this innings.
