Gaikwad's ton, Dube fifty power CSK to 210 against LSG

Batting first, Chennai Super Kings encountered an early setback as Matt Henry dismissed Ajinkya Rahane cheaply on the final delivery of the first over. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who returned to his opening role, anchored the innings, attempting to form crucial partnerships with Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja. Despite lacking support from the duo, the CSK captain finally got a reliable ally in Shivam Dube in the middle.

Gaikwad raced to his maiden century this season, while Dube slammed a quick fifty, thereby establishing a 100-run partnership. Dube's innings ended in the final over, having accumulated 66 off just 27 deliveries, including three boundaries and seven maximums. MS Dhoni eventually walked out to bat with just two balls left. He applied the finishing touches with a boundary off the final delivery as CSK posted a formidable 211-run target for KL Rahul and Co. Gaikwad, on the other hand, remained unbeaten, hammering 108 off just 60 deliveries, featuring 12 fours and three sixes.

Mustafizur Rahman followed it up with the dismissal of Rahul in the fifth over, leaving LSG at 45/2 at the end of the powerplay.
