CSK vs GT, IPL 2026: Bowlers floor Chennai Super Kings to help Gujarat Titans get back on track A commanding bowling performance from Gujarat Titans helped the visitor defeat Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on a hot and humid Sunday afternoon.
GT’s bowlers restricted the home side to 158/7 in 20 overs before a half century from Sai Sudharsan (87 off 46 balls) helped GT chase down the total without breaking a sweat.
Earlier in the day, GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first.
CSK would have backed themselves to post a good total on the board with the in form Sanju Samson but Kagiso Rabada struck twice in the PowerPlay to remove Samson and Urvil Patel.
Cornered and looking for a way to overcome the early setback, CSK brought in Sarfaraz Khan as the impact sub in the fourth over. The Mumbai batter’s stay lasted for only one delivery as he was dismissed for a golden duck by Mohammed Siraj.
But captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been short of runs this season, led from the front by scoring an unbeaten 74* off 60 balls even as wickets fell at regular intervals at the other end.
Chasing a modest total, GT begin its chase well as Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan unleashed a flurry of boundaries in the PowerPlayy.
Gill fell in the seventh over thanks to a lightning quick stumping by Sanju Samson to give the home side a glimmer of hope for a comeback, but Washington Sundar and Jos Buttler took GT home with eight wickets and 20 balls to spare.
