GT Vs CSK Toss Update, IPL 2026: Chennai Bowling First - Check Playing XIs

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in Match 66 of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The decision comes with dew expected later in the evening, making chasing slightly easier under lights.

Gujarat Titans, already among the playoff-qualified sides, are relying on captain Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Rashid Khan to continue their strong season. Meanwhile, CSK are in a must-win situation to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Ruturaj Gaikwad continues to lead the side in the absence of injured MS Dhoni, who has not travelled with the squad for this fixture. Ahmedabad’s batting-friendly surface is expected to produce another high-scoring contest, with powerplay wickets likely to play a crucial role in deciding the game
