CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad finally won a toss and elected to bowl at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Thinking the conditions will get better, CSK's plan of bowling first backfired as Gujarat Titans' openers, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill took on the bowling.

Sudharsan and Gill hammered the CSK bowlers to all corners of the park as the duo brought up respective centuries. Gill (104) and Sudharsan (103) became the first pair to register 200-plus opening partnership in the tournament.

GT registered 231/3 in their 20 overs with Tushar Deshpande being the only CSK bowler with wickets in his kitty. He took 2/33 in his four overs.

In reply, CSK faltered badly with both their openers back in the hut inside the five overs. Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra were dismissed as CSK were 2/2 inside two overs.

Gaikwad was dismissed without troubling the scorers and it was down to Daryl Mitchell (63) and Moeen Ali (56) to bring some parity.

Post their dismissals, CSK kept losing wickets and despite some late MS Dhoni blitzkrieg, the reigning champions could only register 196/8 in their 20 overs.
