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.
