GT vs CSK Highlights: All-round Gujarat Titans end Chennai's playoffs hopes with record-breaking win in Ahmedabad

Mohammed Siraj wins the Player of the Match award for his 3 wickets for 26 today.

"Ball's coming out nicely. I was out of the XIs during the WC. The rhythm for the game was missing. Then I watched videos, and it's coming out nicely now. During practice, I use the new ball to work on my rhythm, line, and length, and then go for yorkers. Red-soil pitch, I'm happy to be driven through covers. That's what came off with Samson. While bowling in the powerplay, my priority is to build pressure. With that, even Rabada can get wickets. That's how you bowl in partnerships."

Kagiso Rabada took 3 wickets today to join Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the Purple Cap race.

Scenarios for GT vs SRH Qualifier 1

Sunrisers Hyderabad host the table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru tomorrow. SRH can still make the playoffs if they beat RCB by 88 runs if they score 220 and by 87 runs if they score 200 batting first. Batting second, SRH need to chase down a 150-run target in 11.3 overs to finish at the top of the points table.

However, considering RCB's rich form, SRH are unlikely to register a huge win tomorrow, so one can expect an RCB vs GT in Qualifier 1 in IPL 2026.

"Tough season, after a hat-trick of losses first up. We found momentum, we found the right spots and combinations, but then we were hit by injuries. Ghosh and Overton going out unsettled us; we were a batter or bowler short in the last three games. Not many people buy into the fact that we are a young team in transition, with a lot of inexperienced players. More than 8-10 players have played less than 20 games; they've gotten exposure, and we've found out what areas we're lacking. We still have six away wins, proud of the unit."

With CSK out of contention, 3 teams fight for the final playoff spot in the remaining 4 group-stage matches. RR, PBKS, DC and KKR are in contention for the final playoff berth.

RR currently sit in 4th place with 14 points, and they only need to beat MI in their last game on May 24. KKR and PBKS also remain in contention with 13 points, but they need RR to lose their game against MI.

PBKS face LSG in their last game in Lucknow on May 23 and KKR take on DC in their last game in Kolkata on May 24. DC are also in the race, but their net run rate of -0.871 is unlikely to lead them to the playoffs.

With 9 wins in 14 games, Gujarat Titans stay 2nd in the updated points table, but they boost their net run rate to 0.695. SRH can still reach 18 points if they beat RCB by some considerable margin tomorrow.

With a huge defeat, Chennai's campaign ends today. With 6 wins in 12 games, Chennai finish 7th in the IPL 2026 points table.

Hit with regular injuries from the begining, CSK overcame three early defeats to stay alive in the playoff race until the very last moment.

Kagiso Rabada takes two back-to-back wickets and the game is over. Gujarat Titans win by 89 runs to record their biggest-ever win (by margin of runs).

GT - 229/4 in 20 overs
