Gujarat Titans stormed into the IPL 2026 top two with a dominant 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
Half-centuries from B. Sai Sudharsan (84), Shubman Gill (64), and Jos Buttler powered GT to 229/4 before their bowlers dismantled CSK for 140 in just 13.4 overs. Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan claimed three wickets each. Shivam Dube’s explosive 47 provided brief resistance, but CSK never recovered after losing early wickets.
