Brevis Blasts CSK to Season-High Total
It was a sunlit afternoon at the Narendra Modi Stadium, and Chennai Super Kings arrived with intent. Opting to bat first, MS Dhoni’s side came out all guns blazing, with Ayush Mhatre setting the tone early despite his quick departure. The real damage, however, came through the middle overs when Devon Conway, Urvil Patel, and eventually Dewald Brevis took over.
Conway anchored the innings beautifully with a fluent 52 off 36 balls, while Urvil Patel’s 37 off 19 provided momentum during the powerplay and beyond. But the moment of the match belonged to Dewald Brevis, who came in at No. 5 and completely dismantled the Titans' bowling attack. Brevis smashed 57 off just 23 deliveries, including four sixes and five boundaries, electrifying the stadium with clean, fearless hitting.
Even Rashid Khan couldn’t stop the carnage as CSK powered their way to 230/5, their highest total in IPL 2025. It was an all-round batting masterclass, with every batter playing their part and maintaining a strike rate above 140.
Gujarat Titans Crumble Under Scoreboard Pressure
Chasing 231 on a slightly two-paced surface was always going to be daunting, but the Titans’ chase was derailed early when Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler fell inside the first four overs. Anshul Kamboj, one of CSK’s breakout stars this season, removed Gill and Sherfane Rutherford in quick succession, leaving GT reeling at 30/3.
Sai Sudharsan tried to fight back with a spirited 41 off 28 balls, but lacked support at the other end. The Titans collapsed in clusters Shahrukh Khan, Tewatia, and Rashid all fell while trying to clear the ropes. Noor Ahmad, with his left-arm spin, spun a web in the middle overs, finishing with 3/21, while Jadeja chipped in with 2/17 from his economical spell.
The Titans were bundled out for 147 in 18.3 overs, suffering their worst defeat by margin this season. It was a forgettable outing for Gill’s men, who were tactically outplayed in all departments.
CSK’s All-Round Display Sends Warning to Opponents
This win was more than just two points for Chennai Super Kings it was a declaration. With Brevis stepping up at the perfect moment, Conway regaining rhythm, and bowlers like Kamboj and Noor Ahmad dominating proceedings, CSK are peaking at the right time. Ravindra Jadeja’s calm control with both bat and ball remains invaluable, and Dhoni’s captaincy continues to inspire confidence in this evolving squad.
Despite a slow start to their campaign, the Super Kings have begun stringing together performances that could see them surge into the top four. For a franchise built on legacy and adaptability, this win was a quintessential CSK performance.
GT’s Inconsistencies Resurface as Playoff Hopes Falter
On the flip side, Gujarat Titans are suddenly facing turbulence. Their top-order dependence on Gill and Buttler has become predictable, and their bowling lacked discipline and variation. Prasidh Krishna was the only bright spot with his 2/22, but Rashid Khan and Coetzee were taken apart with brutal efficiency.
As the tournament enters its business end, coach Ashish Nehra and mentor Parthiv Patel have some serious reflection to do. Tactical errors, fragile middle-order structure, and below-par fielding have cost them in crunch moments.
