Chennai lock horns with Gujarat in match number 37 of IPL 2026
The head-to-head is locked at 4 wins each; Though CSK are 4-1 in last 5 meetings
Match facts and details available
Fallen giants and 5-time Indian Premier League champions Chennai Super Kings welcome the Gujarat Titans in what is going to be a rematch of the 2023 IPL final. CSK will be hoping to make full use of their recent momentum and climb up the ladder with a win in front of home support.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is perfectly locked at 4 wins each in 8 encounters. But when it comes to the recent results from the last 3 seasons, Chennai have lost only once, that too, during their only meeting in 2024.
CSK have dominated the proceedings in their last 5 meetings with Gujarat, winning 4 games, including an IPL final. As a matter of fact, GT are yet to win a game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and that is a huge talking point in the build-up to this game.
On the back of consecutive losses, Gujarat Titans would not want to lose a 3rd game on the bounce, but CSK appear to be in a much confident space. The Yellow Brigade has won 3 games in their last 4 outings, most recently against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians.
That was a bumper 103-run victory at the Wankhede Stadium which also helped their net run-rate to go positive at +0.118.
Gujarat Titans' last two outings in IPL 2026 resulted in back-to-back defeats. On April 24, they fell to RCB by 5 wickets despite a magnificent century from Sai Sudharsan and on April 20, they suffered a heavy 99-run loss to Mumbai, where they managed only 100 runs in a dismal chase.
It all unfolds today from 3:30PM.
