Match 66 of IPL 2026 sees Gujarat Titans face Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium on the 21st of May. GT are already in the playoffs, but will look to secure their top two position, while CSK still have a chance mathematically of making it to the playoffs. If they are to qualify, they will need a win coupled with other results going their way. It has been another dominant season for GT. Shubman Gill has a fine campaign, and the opening duo of Gill and Sai Sudharsan have reached a collective 500 runs. The GT bowling attack has also been consistent throughout. However, CSK have been affected by injuries, and while some individual players have come to life at various points of the competition, overall consistency has been lacking. The Ahmedabad pitch has proved to favour the pacers this season and bowlers who employ a variation of pace have thrived. Competitives scores of sub 200 have often prevailed at the venue this season. GT will be buoyant with momentum, and CSK desperate to fight for survival – a compelling match looks in prospect. At the toss, Chennai have won and chose to bowl first. Here's what the captains said at the toss: Shubman Gill: "We wanted to bowl first too, but now much due here. We have one change. Prasidh comes in place of Sai Kishore. Hopefull we keep our intensity with the ball. The job is not done and hopefull three good games from here." Ruturaj Gaikwad: "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. (What is the team combination?) We've got a couple of changes. Obviously, according to the conditions, Akeal misses out unfortunately. And Gurjapneet comes in. And we got Matt Short playing in place of Prashant Veer. (How have you regrouped for this important clash?) Well, it is about keeping it simple and trusting the process. I think even the last game we gave a good fight and obviously didn't get the result that we wanted, but it is all about coming up and turning up and getting that W at the end of the day. But obviously, there are a lot of things that unfold and we want to make sure that we keep it really simple and turn it up today."
