GT has so far 12 points from six wins and RR has 10 points from five wins.
Earlier this year, Jadeja, the franchise's first retention for INR 16 crores, was named CSK captain, with legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni entrusting him with the leadership duties ahead of the tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Pretorius, who will now be turning out in South Africa colours in the five-match T20I series against India beginning in New Delhi on June 9, said that he likes Dhoni's philosophy of, "anything is always possible".
Ruturaj Gaikwad top-scored for CSK with 53 runs while N Jagadeesan remained unbeaten on 39. Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore bagged one wicket each while Mohammed Shami picked two for Gujarat Titans.
In a stadium where majority of the fans sported yellow jerseys and cheered loudly when MS Dhoni walked in for the toss as the captain, Gaikwad and Conway dished out a stunning, dominant show after having the usual slow and steady Chennai start when 40/0 came in powerplay.
Chasing a target of 188 set by Punjab Kings largely boosted by a brilliant 88 not out by Shikhar Dhawan, Chennai were in trouble soon.
Head coach Mahela Jayawardene, had some things to say in his post-match virtual press conference and felt that his side have been lacking the instincts to finish off certain matches successfully.
The 40-year-old has certainly not forgotten about his skill with the bat and single handedly steered his team to the finish line and reinstated his name as one of the best finishers of the game.
CSK will initially establish the Super Kings Academy in Chennai and Salem and expand across Tamil Nadu, India and the rest of the world in the years to come.
