Strategic break! Gujarat are completely bossing proceedings at the moment and need 97 runs off 72 balls now. Shubman Gill is going great guns and the Impact Player, Sai Sudharsan is certainly making an impact as well. Chennai need wickets and their spin trio will be key here as Gujarat are well ahead of the asking rate. A crucial middle phase of the chase is coming up.

Strategic break! With just 34 runs needed off 24 balls, it is Gujarat's to lose from here. Shubman Gill broke the back of the chase with a brilliant innings and was well supported by a couple of other batters as well. Vijay Shankar is the set batter on the crease and will look to finish the game off for Gujarat. Chennai have just about hung on by picking up a few timely wickets but they really need to pick up a couple of more wickets in quick succession to plant a seed of doubt into the opposition's mind. Will we see a miracle out there? Or will Gujarat go on and finish the job without a fuss? Let's find out.

Slight halt! MS Dhoni seems to have hurt his knee while diving to his right and seems to be in a bit of pain here. The physio is called out and Dhoni seems to be fine. We are good to continue.

That is it from the opening game of the Indian T20 League 2023 but it is just the start of more amazing things to come. In the first Super Saturday on the 1st of April, we have a doubleheader lined up. First up, Punjab will lock horns with Kolkata in Mohali at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT) and then it will be a clash between Lucknow and Delhi in Lucknow beginning at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can catch the build-up for both of those games a lot earlier. Cheers!
