In Match 66 of the IPL 2026, the Chennai Super Kings will be facing their ultimate test at Ahmedabad against the mighty Gujarat Titans. Ruturaj Gaikwad and his men will have a mountain to climb as it hasn’t been easy to breach the fortress unless you put on masterclass batting displays like the one by KKR. Gujarat Titans on the other hand, will be hunting for a much needed victory to book their spot in the top 2 and to gain a considerable advantage over SRH with the NRR. The match is brewing to be an absolute blockbuster with two teams searching for the much-needed 2 points.
