That match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings? Game number sixty-six in this year’s IPL season. Played out under lights at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad – big ground, loud crowd. First up, Gujarat batted. They didn’t just score. They tore through the bowling. Ended their twenty overs with two hundred twenty-nine on the board. Not lucky hits. Clean striking. One after another.
Off the mark, things didn’t go smoothly for Anshul Kamboj in the opening spell. Though he’s stood out for CSK all season long, this time around he gave away 56 runs without much reward – just a single wicket across four overs. Ends up, even strong performers face tough stretches.
Thirty four sixes flew off bats against Kamboj this season. That number beats Rashid Khan’s record for most sixes given up in one IPL campaign. No bowler before had let more leave the park in a single year. The 2026 season marks the highest count ever seen. His total stands alone at the top now.
Chennai Super Kings face possible exit
Even though Chennai Super Kings needed help from elsewhere, they still had to take care of their own games. After giving up 229 runs to GT and stumbling early in the chase, defeat looms close. If they lose, the five-time winners will be out of the tournament.
Winning might lift Gujarat Titans to first place, yet only if they beat CSK by a big margin. Their form has stayed strong lately, though overtaking RCB won’t be easy. A massive result is what stands between them and the summit of the table.
