Pitch Report

Chennai has normally been a win the toss and bowl first and it will not surprise anyone if the captain who calls right opts to do the same. During the opening game of the IPL 2024 season, the pitch was its best behavior as CSK chased down 175 with ease. Expect the spinners to come in a lot more as the season progresses. The batters will love batting during the early part of the power-play overs when the ball is new and coming onto the bat.

Mustafizur Rahman CSK | BOWL

Making his debut for Chennai Super Kings, the Bangladeshi bowler picked 4/29 from his 4 overs. It was an inspired spell of bowling from a player who has been dealing with several injury setbacks. The old Mustafizur Rahman was visible with his clever bowling and accurate changes of pace.

C

Sai Sudharsan GT | BAT

The Chennai lad comes back to his home town with the Gujarat Titans side. The left-handed batter scored an impressive 45 from 39 balls with 3 fours and a six against the Mumbai Indians side. That knock was the biggest reason behind Gujarat being able to post 168 runs on the board.

Rachin Ravindra CSK | ALL

After his amazing debut during the ODI World Cup 2023, young Rachin Ravindra was in good form during his IPL debut against RCB. The left-handed batter stroked 37 runs from just 15 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. This helped CSK get off to a good start and eventually win the game.

9

Ravindra Jadeja CSK | ALL

Chennai’s veteran all-rounder was a huge reason why RCB could only score 173. Ravindra Jadeja bowled four overs and gave just 21 runs and helped contain the batters. With the bat he came out and helped impact player Shivam Dube to take CSK over the line with a crucial 25 not out.

8.5

Shubman Gill GT | BAT

Gujarat Titans new skipper showed glimpses of the amazing form with the bat that he exhibited last year. Shubman Gill scored an impressive 31 from 22 balls to give his side a good start. His strokeplay showed the amazing form that he has been in recent times.

7.5

Ajinkya Rahane CSK | BAT

Out of favor Indian veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane had to undergo a bad run of form in recent times. The 35-year-old though seemed a different beast with the bat as he scored an quick-fire 27 in the opening game of the season against RCB. His fielding prowess also helped CSK get the key wicket of Virat Kohli.

8.5

Rahul Tewatia GT | ALL

– One of the most underrated stars, Rahul Tewatia yet again proved his big hitting prowess. The 31-year-old scored an important 22 not out off 15 balls and smacked around Luke Wood towards the end of the innings. Rahul Tewatia was also instrumental in getting the key catch of Hardik Pandya at the end of the contest.

8.5

Daryl Mitchell CSK | ALL

New Zealand star Daryl Mitchell made an immediate impact with a crucial 22 run knock for CSK. The Kiwi star hit two successive sixes to show that he belongs to the stage and is set to be a huge player in the future.

9

Azmatullah Omarzai GT | ALL

Making his IPL debut, Azmatullah Omarzai showed his fine all-round skills. First with the bat he scored 17 runs with a four and six from 11 balls. Opening the bowling Omarzai picked the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Naman Dhir to cap of a brilliant day.

Tushar Deshpande

CSK | BOWL

Figures of none for 47 from 4 overs isn’t the ideal start to the season for the CSK pacer. On a good batting pitch, he was taken to the cleaners by Faf Du Plessis in particular. Chennai fans and Ruturaj Gaikwad will hope for a better performance in the next match.

8

Umesh Yadav

GT | BOWL

India’s veteran pacer, Umesh Yadav was taken for 31 runs from his 3 overs with the ball. Despite picking Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla, it was a poor outing with the ball for the right arm quick.
