Gujarat Titans beat Chennai Super Kings by 35 runs in IPL 2024 Match 59 on 10 May 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This page was originally written as a pre-match preview; it has been updated as a dated match recap so that readers see the result rather than an expired prediction.
GT’s 231/3 was built on a record opening stand
Captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan both scored centuries and added 210 runs for the first wicket. Their partnership equalled the IPL record for the highest opening stand at the time and carried Gujarat Titans to 231/3.
The innings gave GT a demanding total to defend. It also corrected the central weakness of the earlier preview: the match should be understood through the players who actually shaped it, rather than through speculative team labels or incorrect player roles.
CSK lost early wickets before a middle-order recovery
Chennai Super Kings lost three wickets inside the first three overs of the chase. Daryl Mitchell made 63 from 34 balls and Moeen Ali scored 56 from 36, but their 109-run partnership was broken by Mohit Sharma.
Mohit finished with 3/31 and also dismissed Shivam Dube for 21. MS Dhoni struck an unbeaten 26 from 11 balls late in the innings, but CSK closed on 196/8, leaving Gujarat Titans winners by 35 runs.
What the result showed
The match was decided by two clear factors: GT’s 210-run opening partnership and the early damage in CSK’s chase. Once Chennai were three wickets down in three overs, Mitchell and Moeen had to rebuild while the required rate kept rising.
This retrospective uses the official match result and avoids presenting the old pre-match prediction as current information.
