CSK Vs GT, IPL 2026: Shubman Gill And Co Help Gujarat Register Their First Victory At Anbuden
The Gujarat Titans finally conquered the Chepauk fortress, pulling off a decisive win over Chennai Super Kings by chasing down 159. Choosing to field first, GT reaped immediate rewards as Kagiso Rabada tore through the top order with a clinical 3/25. A gritty, unbeaten 74 from Ruturaj Gaikwad gave CSK a fighting chance, but the total of 158/7 ultimately proved insufficient. The chase was set up by the reliable duo of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, before Jos Buttler accelerated the scoring with a vintage attacking display. GT crossed the finish line in the 19th over, securing their first-ever victory at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. See best photos from the match below.
