CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2026: CSK have only managed to add 15 runs between overs 6-10 after failing in the powerplay as they lost Sanju Samson, Urvil Patel and Sarfaraz Khan within the first six overs. Dewald Brevis was the 4th batter to depart as he too was dismissed cheaply. Gujarat Titans have won the toss and have decided to bowl first against CSK. Two teams on six points, sitting fifth and seventh in the IPL 2026 Points Table, separated only by net run rate. CSK return to Chepauk for a Sunday afternoon contest after a 103-run hammering of Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, and Gujarat Titans land in Chennai trying to halt back-to-back defeats with a record they’d dearly love to break. Gujarat have never won at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in IPL history. But with Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar and Shahrukh Khan, the Chennai boys, in the ranks, GT will be hopeful of ending the Chepauk drought in the Indian Premier League 2026.

26/04/2026 15:14
"Fast bowling is a tough art and you're never going to bowl at 150 kmph all the time. It's about maintaining speed as much as possible. It's tough, but I'm enjoying it at the moment," CSK all-rounder Jamie Overton says before the CSK vs GT match when asked about his bowling.

CSK vs GT, IPL 2026 LIVE score: Who will win today's match?

26/04/2026 14:46
It's been 7 matches, half of IPL 2026 and MS Dhoni hasn't turned up. He missed the first five matches due to an injury. But now, he is fit and is in training. However, with places in the Playing XI already blocked, he does not want to force himself into the XI. If he plays, he will be an Impact Sub. But will today be the day? It's unlikely.
CSK vs GT Match Preview: Gujarat Titans
26/04/2026 14:41
Gujarat's arc has gone the other way. After a three-match winning run, they lost heavily to MI and then went down by five wickets to RCB, leaving them seventh on -0.790 NRR. The top order is still scoring. Shubman Gill is on 297 runs, Sai Sudharsan got a century against RCB earlier this week. But the middle order and the death bowling have wobbled in both losses.
The Chepauk question is the obvious one. GT's run-scoring trio of Gill, Sudharsan and Buttler has been brilliant this year, but two of the three games at the venue this IPL 2026 season have crossed 200 in the first innings. With Noor Ahmad and Hosein operating in tandem on a Sunday afternoon, it's the GT middle order that's going to be put under the microscope.
CSK vs GT Match Preview: Chennai Super Kings
26/04/2026 14:33
The CSK turnaround has been quite something. Three losses to start, then three wins in the next four, capped by Sunday's 103-run demolition of MI at Wankhede, where Sanju Samson carried his bat for an unbeaten 101 in CSK's 207/6, and Akeal Hosein took four to bundle MI out for 104. Samson now has 293 runs at a strike rate of 178.66 this season, Chennai's best individual story by some distance, and the reason this side has gone from looking lost to looking dangerous in a fortnight.

CSK vs GT Head to Head
26/04/2026 14:19
This rivalry has been one of the most evenly fought of the post-mega-auction era. Across eight IPL meetings, Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings have won four each. The defining game in the rivalry, of course, was the IPL 2023 final, where CSK edged a rain-affected thriller in Ahmedabad.
However, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Gujarat Titans have never won in IPL history. The fixture has stayed level overall because GT have done their damage at home and on neutral grounds, but Chennai has been a closed door for them every time.
