After MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to field, Gujarat Titans rode on a brilliant 96 from Sai Sudarshan to post a challenging total of 214 on the board. The equation for Chennai came down to 171 runs in 15 overs as the match was interrupted due to rain. The second innings had to be cut short.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway started very well and they put on an opening stand of 74 runs. After the departure of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the seventh over, Shivam Dube came to the crease and took care of Gujarat's strong bowling line-up.
The Chennai Super Kings batsmen did not let the pressure of the final get the better of them. In the end, it was Ravindra Jadeja who hit a six and a four off the last two balls to hand CSK the win.
