Noor Ahmad tosses it up, and Shubman Gill slog-sweeps it for a big one over deep mid-wicket. With that six, Gill races to his half-century in 23 balls. This has been a fiery knock from the Gujarat Titans captain.

GT 78-0 (7)

Shubman Gill has surpassed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to take the top spot in the list of batters for the Orange Cap in IPL 2026.

This turns out to be a good Powerplay for GT as they have scored 62 without losing a single wicket. Gill is batting on 35 off 18, while Sai Sudharsan is on 21 off 18.

GT 62-0 (6)

This is batting of the highest quality from Shubman Gill, who just loves to bat at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The right-handed batter smashed two fours in this over from Spencer Johnson, which gives Gujarat Titans 15 runs.

GT 45-0 (4)

Spencer Johnson leaked 15 runs in his first over, and Mukesh Choudhary followed it up with an economical one. The Indian pacer conceded only seven runs. This has been a strong start for Gujarat Titans.

GT 30-0 (3)

Oh, what a swing there! The Spencer Johnson delivery goes down the leg side of Sai Sudharsan. Sanju Samson is stationed down the leg side to receive the ball, but it swings suddenly and ends up hurting the wicketkeeper. Samson injures his finger in the process. He is going off the field, with Urvil Patel taking over his gloves.

GT 18-0 (1.2)

Mukesh Choudhary bowls it on the pads of Shubman Gill, and the right-handed batter glances it through fine leg for a four. The fielder is wide, and Gill produces superb placement to earn the boundary. Eight runs come off the over.

GT 8-0 (1)

The match begins in Ahmedabad! Mukesh Choudhary starts with a short-of-length delivery around off-stump, and Sai Sudharsan guides it to third man for a single.

"Wanted to bowl first as well, but it doesn't really make a difference. We have seen there's not much dew here and I don't like to go by stats, If you go by it, batting first, teams have won more matches. We have one change. Prasidh Krishna comes back in place of Sai Kishore," said Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill.

"We're gonna bowl first. Obviously there is some pace and bounce in the pitch and we want to exploit it early on. So that's the only reason we are bowling first. We've got a couple of changes. According to the conditions, Akeal misses out unfortunately. And Gurjapneet comes in. And we got Matt Short playing in place of Prashant Veer," said CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Shubman Gill tosses the coin in the air, and Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad gets it right. He calls for tails, and tails it is! Gaikwad has opted to bowl against Gujarat Titans.

With their playoff hopes inching closer to getting extinguished after a narrow loss to SRH, the five-time former champions Chennai Super Kings will seek to salvage pride in what could be their final outing in this edition.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's men have been pushed to the brink of elimination and require a victory along with other results to go their way to stay in contention for the last playoffs berth.

Gujarat Titans have already qualified for the IPL 2026 playoffs. The team will now fight for a top-two finish, which gives a team a second chance to enter the final of the tournament. If GT can beat CSK by a big margin tonight, they could even surpass Royal Challengers Bengaluru and take the top spot in the points table.
