Gujarat Titans innings - 229-4 (20 Ov)
Sai Sudharsan top-scored with a fluent 84 off 53 as Gujarat Titans posted a commanding 229 for 4 in their 20 overs. Shubman Gill (64 off 37) and Jos Buttler (57* off 27) accelerated late, helping GT recover momentum and set a formidable target in this IPL 2026 fixture.
Scoreboard:
- Sai Sudharsan c Matthew Short b Anshul Kamboj — 84 (53) | 7x4, 4x6 | SR 158.49
- Shubman Gill (c) c Shivam Dube b Spencer Johnson — 64 (37) | 7x4, 3x6 | SR 172.97
- Jos Buttler (wk) not out — 57 (27) | 5x4, 4x6 | SR 211.11
- Total: 229-4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.45).
Innings note: A key Sudharsan–Gill platform allowed Buttler to launch in the final five overs; GT combined aggressive batting with disciplined bowling changes to keep pressure on Chennai Super Kings. The large number of wides (13) also swelled GT’s total - a factor CSK bowlers will rue.
Chennai Super Kings chase - 140 all out (13.4 Ov)
Chennai Super Kings were bundled out for 140 in an abbreviated chase of 13.4 overs as Gujarat Titans’ bowlers combined pace and spin to devastating effect. Shivam Dube top-scored for CSK with a fighting 47, but early dismissals and a steady flow of wickets halted any real momentum in this IPL 2026 contest.
Scoreboard:
- Matthew Shor c Prasidh Krishna b Kagiso Rabada — 24 (14)
- Ruturaj Gaikwad (c) b Mohammed Siraj — 16 (7)
- Kartik Sharma run out (Shubman Gill) — 19 (15)
- Shivam Dube c Shubman Gill b Rashid Khan — 47 (17)
Key bowlers: Kagiso Rabada provided early breakthroughs, Mohammed Siraj struck crucial blows (including the wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Urvil Patel) and Rashid Khan’s spin strangled the middle order - a textbook bowling performance that combined pace, accuracy and variation. Together they kept the required run rate in check and forced risky shots.
Match impact: CSK’s chase never settled after the powerplay; with regular wickets and tight lines, GT’s bowling unit removed set batsmen quickly. The presence of world-class bowlers such as Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan (and support from Siraj) meant Chennai Super’s hitters had little room to build substantial partnerships.
Total: 140-10 (13.4 Overs, RR: 10.24).
Player of the match - Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj received the Player of the Match award after a pivotal spell that broke Chennai Super Kings’ top order and set the tone for GT’s victory - his accuracy and timely breakthroughs were decisive in restricting CSK to 140.
CSK eliminated
The defeat confirmed Chennai Super Kings' elimination from the IPL 2026 playoff race - a disappointing end for a side that had title aspirations earlier in the season.
