Gujarat Titans will lock horns against Chennai Super Kings in the 66th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on Thursday. The Titans have already qualified for the playoffs however, they would look to push for a top-two finish.
“I think the first important thing is to play good cricket and win tomorrow. We are not in a position to think about winning at a very big margin or making a very big win. It’s about again doing the right things which we have been doing and first get a victory. If we are in that position, yes, as every team we would love to close it as smoothly as possible or give us the best opportunity to be in (the) top two,” Sai Sudharsan said in the pre-match press conference.
CSK, on the other hand, has only 6% chance of making it to the playoffs, according to Star Sports.
