IPL 2025, GT vs CSK Highlights: GT suffer crushing 83-run defeat against CSK, top two finish now out of their hands
- IPL 2025, GT vs CSK Highlights: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings: After putting on 230-4, CSK were all over GT in the bowling effort, taking regular wickets as they ran out 83-run winners. A missed opportunity for Gujarat.
IPL 2025, GT vs CSK Highlights: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings: Despite being in a strong position to do so, none of the three top teams have been able to nail down a top two finish in the IPL 2025 table in these last few days. So it is that it comes down to the last set of fixtures, with Gujarat Titans trying to reach 20 points and make that top spot their own, as they host the wooden-spoon holding Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad....Read More
On paper, this should be a very one-sided matchup. This is a team that has crafted an identity and created a well-balanced team all across the field, against another which has big-time struggled to do so and has weaknesses everywhere. But MS Dhoni's CSK are a team which has been hurt from a bad season and is fighting for nothing except pride, which can be a dangerous proposition. They have looked more threatening as a team since an influx of youth via Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, but the staleness of the team around them continues to affect their performances. Can their experienced core finally pull it together to spark a major upset that could give them momentum and energy as planning for 2026 begins?
GT have enjoyed a season that has been the polar opposite of CSK: every time GT have lost, they have responded by going on a winning run. Having been beaten by LSG quite handedly in their previous match, the team will be looking for a reset heading into the playoffs. Led by newly-announced India Test captain Shubman Gill, GT will want to hammer home the advantage they have of being top to finish in that position, and give themselves two shots at reaching the final if need be. Once they get to the playoffs, they might well be favourites, given the high-end Orange and Purple Cap quality present in their team, but more significantly the home advantage they will enjoy in Ahmedabad should they reach the final.
Will GT be able to seal top spot for themselves in this afternoon game, or does MS Dhoni have some trick up his sleeves to make things just a little more complicated as we head into the final few days of this IPL season?

GT vs CSK Live Score: TWO IN ONE OVER! Sudharsan gone!
GT vs CSK Live Score: GT falling apart here, the pressure is telling! And CSK should go on to win this. Sudharsan has width, and he's usually so good on the cut shot. Tries to go aerial this time and can't get enough on it to clear the point fielder inside the ring. Easy grab, and CSK well on top.

GT vs CSK Live Score: India's former Test captain and India's Test captain-in-waiting out in the middle, and it's the old dog who calls right. Dhoni wins and opts to bat first, with batting first having a good record at this stadium. So GT to chase.
Team news next.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: Average first innings score a whopping 220 in Ahmedabad
GT vs CSK Live Updates: That's not a typo. That's how easy runs have been to come by at this venue. The lowest score this season has been 196. There have been four scores in excess of 215, two in excess of 230. Runs will be there, no matter what. It will therefore come down to the team that does the best at containing those runs through this match, with wickets and pressure.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: 30 mins from the toss
GT vs CSK Live Updates: Half an hour away from the toss in Ahmedabad. It has been a high scoring pitch throughout this IPL at the Modi Stadium, but nonetheless teams might choose to chase. Batting conditions will get easier as the lights come on and as the day gets cooler, but with excessive heat predicted, it will nonetheless be a tough task to field 20 overs through the first innings.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: Last time out, Gill and Sudharsan twin tons sink CSK
GT vs CSK Live Updates: The last time these two teams met in 2024, at the same venue, Gill and Sudharsan both scored centuries in a 210-run partnership. A precursor to the deadly duo they have gone on to form in this year's IPL, and a warning that CSK will therefore be all too aware of. It was enough to take GT to 231/2, and claim a comfortable 35-run victory in an otherwise disappointing season for the team.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: CSK vs GT head-to-head: GT with narrow lead, but CSK with big wins
GT vs CSK Live Updates: In 7 matches since GT's inception, the new team have won on 4 occasions. However, of their three losses, two came in the 2023 playoffs, including that famous final. If not for CSK, GT would have won each of their first two IPL trophies.
Nevertheless, GT have the rub of the green in regular season matches, and are odds-on to increase that dominance today.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: GT middle order in better shape, but Buttler loss will hurt
GT vs CSK Live Updates: GT will have some confidence from the performance of Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford vs LSG, who kept the chase alive even after three early wickets, assuaging questions about the calibre of the middle order. But this will likely be Buttler's last game with GT before he leaves: can GT figure out how to replace his production?

GT vs CSK Live Updates: Can CSK generate enough firepower to hurt GT
GT vs CSK Live Updates: While Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis are revelations with their ability to score at pace, the rest of CSK's batting remains a little stagnant. Especially at a ground where 200+ is the par score, they will need the likes of Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja to shake off the rust if they wish to remain competitive against GT's consistent batting core.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: Disappointing loss against RR last time for CSK
GT vs CSK Live Updates: CSK could have gotten that boost with a win over RR that would have sent them off the foot of the table, but after playing well for the first 15 overs, the effort just fell flat. CSK's concerns were put in to focus even in a pretty solid performance: lack of power the key amongst them.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: CSK fighting for pride
GT vs CSK Live Updates: At the end of what has historically been their worst ever season, CSK don't have anything to fight for except some pride. Stuck to the bottom of the IPL table, a win doesn't do much except complicate things for GT, but it might also give some confidence to a group that will undoubtedly see switches and plenty of turmoil in the next couple of years. Can they spark some sort of movement with a big upset today?

GT vs CSK Live Updates: GT hoping their bowling finds a bit more bite
GT vs CSK Live Updates: While it hasn't cost them too many games thus far, Mitch Marsh's onslaught against them will have jaded the GT bowling unit just a bit. An attacking group, regular wickets is the key to their gameplan, but when wickets begin to dry up, it can tend to be on the expensive side.
While CSK don't have the same firepower, GT will want to use this as an opportunity for their bowlers to clean up their form and get back amongst the wickets, after a couple of quieter performances since the resumption on that front.

GT vs CSK Live Updates: GT try to bounce back from disappointing LSG loss
GT vs CSK Live Updates: GT suffered a loss at home against Lucknow in their previous match, and will be keen to put that behind them. They know they got fortunate with RCB and PBKS also dropping points, presenting them a chance to redeem themselves with no harm and no foul. They won't want to rely on other results again, and will be hoping their combined top order and bowling failure from a couple days ago was just an aberration.
