Weather Report for March 26
Pitch Report
Analysis
The Chennai Super Kings put forth an all-around performance to register their stunning victory against RCB. Their bowling was under the pump but the pair of Maheesh Theekshana and Mustafizur Rahman played well and put CSK back on top of the game. But despite the win, Super Kings’ death-bowling will be a major concern with the home side going over 80 runs in the final six overs.
Gujarat Titans have a massive hole in their squad after Pandya’s departure and Mohammad Shami’s injury. But still, Titans have built a solid in the auction, making them a dark horse contender. Their batting is still great with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan in their ranks. But their bowling seems below par, with Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav being the most experienced pacers in the team.
