After review, Gill is OUT! He departs for 33 off 23 balls, with excellent work behind the stumps from Sanju Samson sealing the dismissal.

Anshul Kamboj continues his spell, and Shubman Gill starts cautiously -- a swing and a miss, followed by a guided shot straight to cover-point for no run. He then picks up a single to rotate strike.

Sai Sudharsan plays out the rest of the over calmly, as CSK tighten things up.

Hosein responds with a tight final ball, finishing the over with a dot.

11 runs come off the first over.

CSK were 37 for 4 after 12 overs, they were in real trouble. The pitch had a tacky feel early on, and Gujarat Titans' pacers made full use of it and CSK kept sliding.

For most of that phase, Ruturaj Gaikwad struggled to get going.

Then the game flipped.

Once in, Gaikwad found his rhythm and cut loose and Overton added valuable cameos to rebuild the innings.

GT's pacers did the early damage, but CSK came hard at the death-- 107 runs in the last eight overs.

Was it a pitch that eased up, or did GT lose their grip? Either way, dropped chances and sloppy fielding didn't help their cause.

Manav Suthar has the responsibility of the final over, and Ruturaj Gaikwad starts it in style -- greeting him with a crisp boundary.

The next ball is a dot, but Gaikwad keeps the pressure on with a couple of well-run runs to keep the scoreboard moving.

He then unleashes again -- another classy boundary through the gaps. A delivery down the leg side follows and is signalled wide.

A rare dot ball in the over gives GT a brief breather, but Gaikwad finishes strong, carving another boundary to close out the innings.

A late flourish from the skipper takes CSK to 158 for 7. 15 runs come off the final over.

Arshad Khan is back into the attack, but CSK start steadily as Ruturaj Gaikwad picks up a single. The over then slips out of control with two wides down the leg side.

Arshad suddenly looks in discomfort, appearing to struggle with cramps and going down on the pitch briefly.

In comes new batter Tom Curran Overton, and he wastes no time -- first a powerful boundary, then a towering six straight down the ground. Arshad is clearly struggling, and Overton keeps the pressure on with another cracking shot to the fence.

Back-to-back boundaries, pure aggression -- CSK shift gears instantly and the crowd comes alive.

But Arshad fights through it and gets the breakthrough! Overton goes for another big hit but skies it, and Shahrukh Khan settles under it comfortably at deep.

Overton departs for 18 off just 6 balls.

A dramatic over ends with 21 runs and a wicket. After 19 overs, CSK are 143 for 7.

Mohammed Siraj is back into the attack, and CSK start positively with smart running between the wickets from Kartik Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Gaikwad then brings up a well-compiled fifty off 49 balls -- his first of IPL 2026. He celebrates it in style, launching the very next delivery for a six as he shifts gears immediately.

He follows it up with a single, while Kartik also rotates strike with one of his own.

There's nearly another breakthrough -- Gaikwad is dropped, a tough chance that falls just short of Shahrukh Khan charging in.

A costly miss for GT. 11 runs come off the over.

After 17 overs, CSK are 133 for 5.

Kagiso Rabada returns to the attack, and CSK begin cautiously with Ruturaj Gaikwad picking up just a single.

There's confusion in the deep next ball -- Washington Sundar runs across from deep backward square, while Rashid Khan comes in from deep mid-wicket. It looks like Sundar had the better chance, but neither calls for it. The ball drops safely and runs away to the boundary. Both fielders are left exchanging glances -- a missed opportunity.

Rabada keeps things controlled otherwise, but CSK still find a way through with another boundary.

However, the breakthrough comes soon after -- Jason Holder holds on this time, and Kartik Sharma departs for 15 off 9 balls.

Arshad Khan continues, and CSK are handed a big slice of luck early in the over -- a straightforward chance goes down. Mohammed Siraj misjudges it completely, initially standing still before realising too late that the ball is dipping in front of him. He rushes in at the last moment but can't hold on.

Shivam Dube survives and defends the next delivery, but Arshad strikes soon after -- clean bowled!

Dube departs for 22 off 17 balls.

Kartik Sharma walks in and gets off the mark in style, cracking a boundary. With that, CSK bring up 100 runs on the board.

He then closes the over with a solid defence.

CSK 96-4 (15 Ovs) vs GT | SCORECARD

Jason Holder continues his spell, but is greeted immediately by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who launches him for a six — his third in the last seven balls.

Gaikwad then eases off with a single to rotate strike.

Shivam Dube starts watchfully, pushing one to cover for no run before pulling the next delivery towards deep midwicket for a single.

Gaikwad finishes the over with another single as CSK keep the scoreboard moving.

Nine runs come off the over. After 14 overs, CSK are 75 for 4.

Rashid Khan is finally introduced into the attack, and things start messily for Gujarat Titans.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is beaten first ball, but picks up a single off the next delivery. Then chaos follows -- a delivery races past keeper Jos Buttler for five wides.

More drama unfolds as a chance goes down -- Sai Sudharsan fails to hold on, and Shivam Dube survives. The ball slips through, and Dube collects four runs.

Dube then goes big -- a clean strike into the stands for six. And the over gets even worse for GT, with an unnecessary overthrow adding a single.

Meanwhile, Gaikwad joins the party with a crisp boundary as CSK suddenly shift gears.

A messy, expensive over for Gujarat Titans -- 21 runs from it. After 15 overs, CSK are 96 for 4.

Jason Holder continues his spell, keeping things disciplined around off stump as Ruturaj Gaikwad starts cautiously, defending a couple of deliveries.

Holder mixes it up with a slower bouncer, but it sails too high and is signalled a wide.

He follows it up with a short ball, which Shivam Dube handles well, pulling it away for four runs in style. That brings up the 50 for CSK.

A steady finish to the over follows.

Six runs come off it. After 12 overs, CSK are 51 for 4.

Arshad Khan continues his spell as drama unfolds around Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is seen clutching his right hand briefly. The physio is out on the field, but Gaikwad looks fit to continue.

And he responds in style!

Gaikwad launches one cleanly into the stands for a massive six, bringing the Chepauk crowd alive. He then tries to work the next ball towards backward point but finds no run.

But he's not done yet -- another six follows!

Two big hits in quick succession as he finally finds rhythm, and the once-quiet Chepauk roars back into life.

There's a dot ball in between before a moment of misfielding from Shubman Gill allows Gaikwad to come back for three more runs.

A much-needed over for CSK -- 15 runs from it.

After 13 overs, CSK are 66 for 4.

Jason Holder continues his spell as Shivam Dube starts positively, flicking one fine for a boundary to deep backward point.

He looks to keep the momentum going but is beaten on the next delivery. Dube then reacts smartly, dabbing one towards mid-on and hustling through for a quick single.

At the other end, Ruturaj Gaikwad is beaten outside off as Holder tightens his line. Another dot follows as Gaikwad flicks straight to midwicket -- no run.

Just 5 runs come off the over. After 10 overs, CSK are 43 for 4.

Arshad Khan comes into the attack for the first time this season, and he immediately creates a moment of drama.

There's a big appeal early on -- did it take an edge? Was it down to Jos Buttler? The umpire isn't convinced, and the decision goes in CSK's favour.

Shivam Dube picks up a single, with a leg bye also added to the total. CSK breathe a sigh of relief as replays later show a clear spike -- they would have been five down.

Arshad keeps it tight with another dot ball before Ruturaj Gaikwad nudges one and initially sets off, but is quickly sent back. He settles for a safe single to finish the over.

Just 2 runs come off it. After 11 overs, CSK are 45 for 4.

Jason Holder comes into the attack from the other end, keeping things tight straightaway.

Ruturaj Gaikwad works one down to third man for a single to get things moving. Dewald Brevis takes strike, briefly surveying the field before trying to go hard -- but he can only drill it straight back for no run.

There's a big moment next ball -- Gujarat Titans go up for an LBW and review it immediately. The original decision is not out, and ball-tracking confirms it was too wide, missing the stumps.

Gaikwad then defends the next delivery calmly before rotating strike with a single to end the over.

Just 3 runs come off it. After 8 overs, CSK are 36 for 3.

Manav Suthar continues his spell as Ruturaj Gaikwad works one away, flicking it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

Dewald Brevis then goes for a big shot, but it comes off the top edge and hangs in the air. Shubman Gill settles under it and makes no mistake -- he rarely does.

Brevis departs for 2 off 9 balls, another setback for CSK.

On a pacy, bouncy pitch in Chennai, Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada have bowled superbly to leave CSK reeling at 28 for 3 at the end of the powerplay.

Spin is introduced now, with Manav Suthar coming into the attack.

Dewald Brevis gets things moving straightaway, drilling one to mid-on for a single. Ruturaj Gaikwad then shows restraint -- solid defence, a leave outside off, and a push to cover for no run.

Gaikwad finally finds a gap, clipping one towards long-off for a couple of runs, before rotating strike with a single to finish the over.

Five runs come off it. After 7 overs, CSK are 33 for 3.

Sarfaraz Khan comes in as the Impact Sub as Mohammed Siraj returns for his third over.

Siraj starts tight again -- Ruturaj Gaikwad is beaten outside off and can only watch another dot ball go by. He then nudges a single to get off strike.

But CSK suffer a big blow next ball! Sarfaraz pushes at one and offers a simple catch to Jos Buttler behind the stumps.

Out for a golden duck! CSK are suddenly in real trouble early in the innings.

Mohammed Siraj continues his spell, and this time Ruturaj Gaikwad 
gets his first real look at him.

Gaikwad wastes no time -- he picks the length early and hammers it to the ropes for four. And he follows it up

immediately with another boundary, back-to-back fours as he finds his rhythm.

Siraj responds tighter this time, hitting the deck hard. Gaikwad drives the next straight to mid-off, no run.

A loud appeal for LBW follows, but the umpire shakes his head. That looked sliding down leg.

Siraj finishes the over with a couple of controlled deliveries, giving away just singles and keeping things in check.

Ten off the over, and after three, CSK are 21 without loss.

Kagiso Rabada continues his spell and immediately looks more disciplined, tightening his line and length.

Sanju Samson swings and misses at one -- a clear improvement from Rabada after a wayward first over where he strayed too wide. Samson then blocks out the next delivery.

But Rabada gets his reward! A faint edge and he's gone. Rabada and Jos Buttler go up in appeal, and so does the umpire's finger.

Samson departs for 11 off 15 balls.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson walk out to open for CSK, with Mohammed Siraj taking the new ball for Gujarat Titans.

Siraj looks sharp straight away, getting good seam movement and bounce. Samson starts cautiously -- a couple of solid blocks, then shoulders arms to one outside off. Siraj beats the bat next up with a beauty. Three dots to begin the over.

Another teasing delivery, and Samson is beaten again -- Siraj hitting a perfect seam position here. Samson finally gets off strike, steering one down to third man for a single.

Just one run from a probing first over.

Gujarat Titans: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar

Impact subs: Rahul Tewatia, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Phillips, Kulwant Khejroliya, Nishant Sindhu

It's the first day game of the season in Chennai, and the heat is relentless. Gujarat Titans have won the toss and elected to field first.

Captain Shubman Gill said, 'We're going to bowl first. It looks like a good wicket.'

There's just one change for Gujarat Titans, with Arshad returning to the squad.

'We feel the pitch is on the drier side and likely to stay that way, so we're happy to bat first and put up a strong total to defend,' said CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.

'We've made one change -- Urvil comes in -- and we'll keep some flexibility with the Impact Player depending on how the game unfolds.'

Chennai Super Kings will look to ride their growing momentum, while Gujarat Titans are desperate to stop the slide when the two teams meet in a crucial mid-season Indian Premier League clash in Chennai on Sunday.

After a sluggish start, CSK finally seem to have found their rhythm, winning three of their last four games. The highlight was a crushing 103-run win over Mumbai Indians, powered by a second century of the season from Sanju Samson.

Under Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK are just outside the top four with six points, but the mood in the camp has clearly shifted. What makes their recent surge more impressive is that it came without key players like MS Dhoni and Ayush Mhatre.

Samson's form has been central to the turnaround, while Akeal Hosein has quietly led a disciplined bowling unit.

Still, it's not all sorted. The middle order remains a concern. In their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, CSK were cruising before a sudden collapse exposed a lack of composure.

Gaikwad hasn't quite hit top gear either, and players like Shivam Dube, Sarfaraz Khan and Dewald Brevis have struggled to turn starts into match-defining knocks.

For Gujarat Titans, things have gone in the opposite direction. Two straight losses -- including a heavy defeat to Mumbai and another against Royal Challengers Bengaluru -- have stalled their campaign.

They are level on points with CSK but stuck in seventh place, hurt badly by a poor net run rate. More concerning is their approach: at a time when T20 cricket demands aggression, GT have often played it safe -- and paid the price.

Even in their last outing, they looked set for a huge total before losing momentum at the death. Sloppy fielding hasn't helped either, with a costly drop of Virat Kohli summing up their struggles.

"We didn't get as many runs as we wanted. Those overs made the difference," captain Shubman Gill admitted.

Bowling still inconsistent

On paper, GT's attack looks formidable, with Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna leading the pace unit. But in reality, they've struggled to maintain control, especially in the middle overs.

Spin, too, leans heavily on Rashid Khan, with little support from the rest.

There are a few bright spots. Sai Sudharsan's recent century was a reminder of his quality, while Gill and Jos Buttler have been consistent contributors.
