Chennai end IPL with big win over Gujarat
Monday, 26 May 2025
AHMEDABAD, India, May 25 (AFP): Opener Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis hit half-centuries to help bottom-placed Chennai Super Kings end their IPL campaign with a crushing 83-run win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday.
New Zealand's Conway hit 52 and South African Brevis made 57 off 23 balls to fire Chennai to 230-5 after they elected to bat first at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
The bowlers then combined to dismiss Gujarat, who have already qualified for the playoffs, for 147 in 18.3 overs.
Chennai ended with four wins in 14 matches with debate over the future of their veteran M.S. Dhoni, who took over as leader midway after injury to regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.
But the 43-year-old Dhoni kept his cards close to his chest.
