  • 9:29 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Milestone alerts

    This is the highest score in an IPL final. Before this 208 was the biggest one by SRH vs RCB in 2015 final

    Sudharsan is second youngest to hit fifty+ in final. Manan Vohra is the youngest.

    Sudharsan's 96 is the third highest score in an IPL final. Watson's 117* and Saha's 115* are only above him.

    This is second higest score by an uncapped player in playoffs. Rajat Patidar's 112* is the highest

    This is fourth highest total in IPL playoffs.

  • 9:14 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    GT finish at 214

    And GT have put the record total on board on the night of the final. What an innings that was from Sudharsan. 214/4 in 20 overs speaks volume of the batting unit that this Titans line-up possess. This is the highest total ever made in an IPL final. They have broken the previous record of 208 set by SRH vs RCB in 2016. Sudharsan made 96 off just 47 balls and not to forget, Saha and Gill were good at the start too. Saha hit 54, while Gill scored 39. Pandya came late and powered the chase with his quick fire 21 off 12 balls. So CSK have a tall task to chase this score. They will need every bit of this from their batters and need a solid start.

  • 9:09 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Final over of 1st innings underway

    The final over is underway and Sudharsan has smoked 2 sixes. Sudharsan has been given out LBW. He has reviewed it. But it is as clear out as it cane be. Pathirana now gets rid of him for 96. What an inning this was. Simply unbelievable. He has smoked the CSK bowlers all round the park. And GT finish at 214

  • 9:06 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Deshpande goes for 56

    Deshpande has proven way too expensive and has given 56 runs. 200 is already up after the 18th over

  • 8:54 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Sudharsan on a boundary spree

    Sudharsan hit 4 back-to-back boundaries off Deshpande in the 17th over. A six, and then three fours and he is all over Deshpande. 2 singles in the next two balls and it's 20 off the over. 173/2 after 17 now

  • 8:49 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Sudharsan gets fifty

    The 21-year-old Sudharsan is showing his worth and has hit a fifty in the pressure game. His 3rd of the season. He slices this low full toss towards backward point and gets to it with a four. The dugout appreciates this. GT 152/2 after 16. 200 on cards? Surely

  • 8:45 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Sudharsan talks with air, GT 143/2 after 15

    Sudharsan has deposited Theekshana into the stands twice in the 15th over. The first one was a pull on a short ball and the next was a slog over cow corner. GT 143/2 after 15. Sai and Pandya in the middle.

  • 8:39 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Saha departs for 54

    And Saha is done for the day. He has been caught out by Dhoni off Chahar. A slower one and Saha wanted to pull it but gets a top edge as it went high. Dhoni settled under it and makes no mistake GT 2 down and have 131 on the board after 14. Time-out taken

  • 8:33 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    50 for Saha

    And Saha has slammed another fifty in an IPL final. He gets there in 36 balls

  • 8:29 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Covers are being ready

  • 8:24 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Pathirana introduced in the attack

    We are in the second half of the first innings now and Pathirana has been introduced into the attack in the 12th over. GT have made 96/1 in the first 11 overs and Saha and Sudharsan are at the crease.

  • 8:16 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Timeout in Ahmedabad

    The first time out was taken in Ahmedabad. GT have made 80/1 after 9 overs. The last 2 overs have been a bit quite. Just 13 from the 8th and 9th over

    A look at Dhoni's fast hands

  • 8:06 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Gill goes

    And here is the first wicket. Shubman Gill has been stumped out and MS Dhoni does the trick once again. He surely have the lightning fast hands. Gill went out of the crease for a very short time and Dhoni shatters the stumps possibly in less than blink of an eye. GT are 1 down and Sudharsan comes in

  • 8:03 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Saha gets another life

    Another lifeline to Saha. This time he survives a run out

  • 8:01 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    GT off to a solid start in powerplay

    It's a solid start for Gujarat in their batting. Gill and Saha are taking the bowlers to the cleaners. 13 runs off Theekshana's over. The powerplay is done GT have made 62/0 after 6

  • 7:54 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Saha dropped too

    And now Saha has been dropped by Chahar. This was a tough chance as he was bolwing and the ball came to his left. Chahar brought his hand but it did not stick. 11 from the 5th over and GT 49/0. It's time for spin to come in. Theekshana comes to bowl

  • 7:51 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Gill joins the party

    Gill says don't leave me behind. He has hit 3 fours to Deshpande. 14 from that over and GT are off to a flier. A slight chance of a run-out and Jadeja hit the stumps from backward point but Gill is home. 38/0 after 4

  • 7:46 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Saha takes on Chahar

    And Saha has said right I will go first. He has smoked 16 runs off the third over. One six and two fours.

  • 7:45 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    A reaction after Gill's drop

  • 7:42 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    GT 8/0 after 2

    A dropped catch in the over. GT are at 8/0 after 2. Chahar comes in to bowl the third and he has been smoked for a six on the first ball by Saha

  • 7:39 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Shubman Gill dropped!!

    Shubman Gill has been dropped early. What big moment in the game. Chahar has dropped this at backward square leg. Oh Dear, this went straight to him and should have been taken.

  • 7:37 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Early swing from Chahar

    And Deepak Chahar is moving the ball. A tight start to the contest. Just 4 off the over. Deshpande to bowl from the other end

  • 7:12 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Hardik Pandya at toss

    Would've wanted to bowl first as well, but in my heart I wanted to bat so I don't mind losing the toss. We talked that weather is something not in of our control. Whichever side plays better will have their hands on the title. I like keeping the boys cool, and they repay me. It's a flat track. We are going with the same team.

    MS Dhoni at toss

    We will be bowling first as the rain forecast is around. Yesterday we were in the dressing room. As a player you always want to play. I think it was the crowd that suffered the most yesterday. I hope we can entertain them. The track has been under cover for a long time, but throughout the tournament the pitch has behaved well in Ahmedabad. Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we'll be playing. It will give justice to the tournament like this. Same team for us.
