vs चेन्नई, , Indian Premier League, 2026

Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! CAUGHT EASILY! Something for Kamboj to celebrate in an otherwise expensive outing. Anshul bowls it very full and outside the off stump. Sai crouches his back knee a bit and tries to thump it down the ground, but fails to get under the ball. Hits it off the toe end of the bat and sails it straight into the hands of Dewald Brevis at long off. Brevis takes it comfortably with a reverse cup in front of his face. Sai Sudharsan's fun ends on a well-compiled 84. GT are 207/2, 10 balls left.

Spencer Johnson to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Spencer Johnson gets the breakthrough CSK were desperate for here. This is pitched full and on middle and leg, Shubman Gill looks to loft it down the ground, but goes through the shot a bit early as the ball stops on him. It takes the leading edge of the bat and goes high in the air behind mid-wicket. Shivam Dube backpedals a long way, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch tumbling backwards. End of a massive 125-run opening stand.

Anshul Kamboj to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! TEWATIA IS RUN OUT! Excellent piece of fielding by the CSK skipper. Well-executed yorker from Kamboj, outside off. Rahul drills it down to long off and calls for a single. The ball bullets away to Gaikwad who is quick to pick and releases a direct hit to the bowling end with Tewatia forced to slide his bat in. The CSK players are confident and start celebrating. The replay shows that Tewatia is caught just short of his crease. He comes and goes.

Mukesh Choudhary to Washington Sundar, OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! A consolation wicket for Choudhary and CSK. Full and wide by Mukesh, outside the off stump. Washington Sundar throws his bat away to hit it through the covers, but only manages to get a faint outside edge behind to the keeper. Urvil Patel with a straightforward catch. 13 runs from the final over and GT finish strongly at 229/4.

Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Perfect start for Siraj and GT. Outswinging delivery, full in length, outside off. Sanju Samson's feet go nowhere and he tries to thrash it away through the off side, but only gets a thin outside edge to the keeper. Jos Buttler gathers it safely without much fuss. A forgetful evening for Samson as he is gone on a golden duck. CSK in trouble from the first ball as they are 0/1, chasing 230.

Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short, OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada gets among the wickets now. He hits the deck hard, on middle, gets it to angle in just a bit. Matthew Short uses his feet and tries to smack it down the ground, but gets it from the inside half of the bat.  He does not get the elevation as the ball lobs up towards mid on, where Prasidh Krishna takes a simple catch. CSK are 51/4, chasing 230 runs.

Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Siraj strikes back strongly and unleashes his signature celebration. Siraj bashes the ball on a length, and gets it to nip back in on off. Ruturaj Gaikwad lines up for hitting it across and over the leg side, but the ball lands and stays a tad low on the bounce. Beats his inside edge and crashes into the stumps behind. A mini cameo from Gaikwad comes to an end. CSK ar 29/2, needing 201 runs.

Mohammed Siraj to Urvil Patel, OUT! HIGH IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Siraj has his third wicket and GT are right on top. That hung up there for an eternity. Length ball, straighter on off and middle. Urvil stays rooted and looks to swipe across the line. Swings hard and gets a top edge. The ball balloons high into the night sky behind square on the leg side. Prasidh Krishna at deep backward square gets underneath it and takes a superb catch under by planting his left knee into the ground to balance himself up. Chennai Super Kings are in deep trouble now with 3 down on just 29. They need 201 more from 104 balls.

Arshad Khan to Kartik Sharma, OUT! KARTIK SHARMA IS RUN OUT! Overpitched delivery, on off, Sharma drills it towards mid off. His weight is on the back foot, so he is a bit late to set off for the run. Shubman Gill picks up the ball, takes him and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end with Kartik putting in a desperate dive to save himself. Gill already signals Out, but the third umpire is called in. The replay shows that when Kartik puts the dive in, his bat pops up in the air and stays there when the ball hits the stumps. He is disappointed but has to walk back now. CSK lose half their side.

Rashid Khan to Dewald Brevis, OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid has his third wicket. Clever bowling from the crafty Afghan leggie. He dishes it outside off, and offers some flight on a shorter length. Dewald Brevis flashes hard at it, looking to smash it over mid off, but gets it sliced in the air off the outer half of the bat. Jason Holder at cover, settles under it and takes a dolly. Brevis departs and the Super Kings are 138/8, needing 92 runs.

Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Rashid unleashes his craft this time around and fishes out Dube. He bowls it wide outside off, and pulls back the length a bit as well. Shivam Dube is neither on the back foot, nor on the front foot. Tries to work it away staying midway and ends up chipping it in the air over cover. Shubman Gill shows his acrobatics as he backtracks a bit and dives to his left and takes an absolute stunner. A breezy 47 from Dube. CSK are 116/6, needing 114 runs.

Rashid Khan to Anshul Kamboj, OUT! SLICED UP AND TAKEN! Rashid ends Kamboj's fun. A conventional leg break outside off, on the shorter side. Anshul Kamboj does not move his feet at all and throws his bat at it to whack it over covers, but ends up slicing it in the air. Offers a simple catch to Jason Holder at backward point. It has been all or nothing for the Super Kings in this chase and they are reduced to 136/7, needing 94 runs from 47 balls.

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! And the procession continues for the men in yellow. GT are just one step away from a massive victory. On a back of a length, at 141 kph, angling into the body. Noor looks to tuck it leg side but the ball gets big on him, hits the splice of the bat and balloons back towards the bowler. Rabada takes a simple return catch. CSK are 140/9.

Kagiso Rabada to Spencer Johnson, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Done and Dusted as GUJARAT TITANS WIN BY 89 RUNS. An excellent review and Kagiso Rabada wraps things up here. Good-length delivery, on middle and leg, takes off sharply and angles away. Spencer Johnson backs away and has a tentative poke, but the ball zips past the outside edge into the gloves of Jos Buttler. Rabada appeals for a caught behind but does not get much support from the keeper. However, Gill trusts his bowler and takes the review. UltraEdge shows a big spike when the ball is next to the bat, and that brings a damning end to CSK's season.
