Chennai Super Kings also crushed Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. The match took place at Chennai’s home ground in Chepauk and they easily managed to outplay the Hardik Pandya-led side by 15 runs in the match. However, GT made a comeback by crushing Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 and booked a spot in the final.
Gujarat Titans were expected to be the favourites to win due to the home advantage. But Chennai Super Kings eventually proved why they are touted as the most dangerous side in any stadium. Devon Conway scored 47 runs for the team and won the Player of the Match award for his crucial batting knock at the start.
