Chennai Super Kings, who have won the IPL title four times, are getting frustrated after repeated defeats against Gujarat Titans in the first match of the tournament.
Although Chennai's batting line-up achieved a point that was within reach, their bowlers failed to defend it, leaving them tasked with chasing down a target of 179 set by Gujarat. Ultimately, Gujarat won with four balls to spare and five wickets in hand.
It was evident that the Chennai team lacked quality bowlers. In his debut match, young pacer Rajvardhan struggled to make an impact on the CSK bowling attack.
However, another newcomer, the hunger striker made a promising start and managed to pick up three wickets, the most for any bowler in the Chennai team. Meanwhile, Chennai's record in chasing big targets set by GT is worth watching.
Chennai Super Kings are now third in the table of teams whose bowlers have conceded 50 or more runs in a match on eight occasions.
Chennai bowlers have scored 50 or more runs in a total of 26 matches. Currently, only two teams have more instances of this record than CSK.
The all-time record is in the name of Punjab Kings, whose bowlers have scored 50 or more runs in a game 33 times. Royal Challengers Bangalore are on the second spot with 31 events.

After the Chennai leg of the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders (25 points), Mumbai Indians (23), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (22) are the top three teams with the most points, while Rajasthan Royals are the team that has won.
At least 50+ runs to the bowlers. In their first season as champions, their bowlers conceded only 19 50+ runs, the least among all teams.
During the game against GT, Chennai Super Kings achieved another unfavorable record. They have now lost 175 or more runs in eight matches, becoming only the second team in IPL history to do so.
CSK failed to defend 175 runs in 14 matches, trailing only Punjab Kings in this category. Punjab have lost 16 times after scoring more than 175 runs, while Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore occupy the third and fourth spots with 13 losses each. Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad are at the bottom of the list with 10 losses each
