Winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Gujarat Titans would have been pleased with their start, restricting CSK to 74 from Ruturaj Gaikwad's well-played 60-ball knock and some late fireworks from Jamie Overton and Kartik Sharma who chipped in with 18 and 15 respectively, but wickets tumbled at crucial junctures. Kagiso Rabada and Arshad Khan were the pick of the bowlers for GT, picking up three and two wickets respectively, though Rashid Khan had an uncharacteristically expensive outing. In reply, Sai Sudharsan was the anchor for the Titans, building on a solid foundation laid by Shubman Gill, a partnership that saw them cruise through the middle overs at a healthy run rate before Buttler added some quick runs. As the dust settled, GT were firmly in the driver's seat, poised to take two crucial points at the Narendra Modi Stadium, showcasing the T20 cricket magic that fans tune in to Watch IPL 2026 for.
