Gujarat Titans Face Chennai Super Kings in IPL Showdown
Gujarat Titans welcomed Chennai Super Kings in the 66th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans batted first and delivered an impressive performance, posting a total of 229 runs in the first innings.
Anshul Kamboj struggled during the match, a notable shift for a player who has been a key performer for CSK throughout the season. Kamboj conceded 56 runs in his four overs, claiming only one wicket. His performance led him to surpass Rashid Khan in the record for the most sixes conceded in a single IPL season. Kamboj has now allowed 34 sixes this season, the highest ever by any bowler in one IPL edition.
In the context of the tournament, Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a precarious position, reliant on the outcomes of other matches while needing to secure victories of their own. Following the challenging innings against Gujarat Titans, CSK is facing elimination from the tournament.
Gujarat Titans have performed exceptionally well in the tournament’s later stages, and a win over CSK could position them at the top of the standings, although a significant victory would be required to overtake Royal Challengers Bangalore from the summit of the points table.
Most Sixes Conceded in a Single IPL Season:
- 34 – Anshul Kamboj (2026)
- 33 – Rashid Khan (2025)
- 31 – Mohammed Siraj (2022)
- 30 – Wanindu Hasaranga (2022)
