Mumbai, May 20: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Gujarat Titans (GT) on Thursday. The match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Five-time champions CSK have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. They have won 7 out of 13 matches, currently sitting in sixth place with 12 points.
After losing their first three matches, CSK bounced back with two consecutive wins. However, they faced defeats in their last two games after achieving a hat-trick of victories in the previous five matches.
To stay in the playoff race, CSK must win their final match against GT. They also need to secure a significant victory to improve their net run rate. If results from other teams favor them, net run rate could play a crucial role in determining the fourth team.
On the other hand, defending champions Gujarat Titans have already secured their playoff spot. They have won 8 out of 13 matches and currently hold second place. GT aims to finish the league stage strongly and secure a top-two position. They come into this match after a stunning victory against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.
In IPL history, both teams have faced each other 9 times, with GT winning 5 matches and CSK claiming 4 victories.
