With an eye on a top-two finish, Gujarat Titans host a struggling Chennai Super Kings in their final league clash of IPL 2026 on Thursday night. Currently sitting at the second spot with 16 points, GT are locked in a three-way battle with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (18) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (16), where net run rate could prove decisive.

A big win may even push them ahead of RCB’s superior NRR, while SRH’s result against RCB could further shape the standings. CSK, meanwhile, are on the brink of elimination after a narrow loss to SRH and must win along with other results going their way. GT’s in-form duo Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan will again be the key, with Rashid Khan key in the middle
overs. CSK’s hopes though rest on Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson, while Kagiso Rabada remains a major threat after his earlier three-wicket burst.
