The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a revision in the schedule of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

Accordingly, the reverse fixture between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, scheduled to be played on May 21, 2026, in the evening, will

now be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, with the match set to begin at 07:30 PM IST.

The change has been necessitated in view of the municipal corporation elections in Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat scheduled on April 26, 2026.

IPL 2026: Updated Schedule of Revised Matches between CSK and GT

Speaking of GT, the Ahmedabad-based franchise has already won a couple of games out of the four matches they have played thus far. They started their campaign with a couple of losses against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals but came back brilliantly to thrash Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants in their next couple of games. They are currently fourth on the IPL 2026 points table.

On the other hand, CSK are having a horrendous campaign in the ongoing nineteenth edition of the marquee tournament. They lost to RR in their opener, followed by conceding a couple of more games against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab. However, they showed a terrific sign of a comeback, thumping Delhi Capitals by 23 runs in their fourth game. They find themselves ninth on the table currently.
