After beating Gujarat Titans (GT) in Qualifier 1 of the 16th Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made it to their 10th final. CSK did a great job in every way at home. Both their batters and their bowlers played well under the circumstances. GT asked CSK to bat first. In 20 overs, CSK scored 172 for 7, with a 60-run knock from a young player named Ruturaj Gaikwad. One of the main reasons CSK got a good score at Chepauk was because they hit seven fours and one six in their game. Not to mention, his starting partner, Devon Conway, also hit a 40 off 34 balls to give CSK a good start with the bat. The middle order for CSK fell apart, but the bowlers did a great job of making sure the team won.
CSK had five bowlers, and at least one wicket was taken by each of them. Four of them each ended up with two wickets. Ravindra Jadeja was the best bowler, getting 2 wickets and 18 runs in 4 overs. CSK kept their record of never losing to GT. So far, in four matches, GT has never been able to beat CSK. At the same time, Jio Cinema, the official digital show partner, also set a new world record.
The new world record was set by Jio Cinema:
During Qualifier 1, JioCinema had 2.5 crore viewers at the same time. The live streaming site not only broke its own record for the third time this season, but it also tied the world record set when India played New Zealand in the semi-final of the ICC 2019 World Cup. Earlier, on April 17, 2.4 crore people came to the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to watch MS Dhoni’s CSK defend against Royal Challengers Bangalore’s high-octane run chase. This record was set after they beat the one they set on April 12 with a peak frequency of 2.2 crore, which happened again when Dhoni showed how exciting finishes used to be against the Rajasthan Royals.
