Chennai Super Kings finished their IPL 2025 season on a high. They beat Gujarat Titans by 83 runs. Devald Brevis, Devon Conway, and Ayush Badoni set the tone with explosive batting. Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad then worked their magic with the ball.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team won with 9 balls to spare. This win didn’t change their playoff chances, but it gave Dhoni’s fans something to cheer about. Gujarat’s loss hurt their chances of staying in the top 2. They’ve lost two in a row. If Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, or Mumbai Indians win their last match, Gujarat could drop out of the top 2.

Sai Sudarshan was the top scorer for Gujarat with 41 runs off 28 balls. This was Gujarat’s second loss in a row. They lost to Lucknow by 33 runs in their previous match.
