CSK vs GT: In the 37th match of IPL 2026, the teams of Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are face to face. After losing the toss and opting to bat first, Chennai had a very bad start and the team lost its 3 big wickets for just 26 runs. Sanju Samson, who had scored a century in the last match, could not do anything special in this match and was out after scoring just 11 runs.

CSK batsmen could score only 28 runs in the powerplay, due to which even the score of 100 runs seemed difficult. However, the history of slow-scoring in Chepauk is old. In such a situation, despite scoring less runs, CSK can beat Gujarat.

What is the history of slow-score in Chepauk?

The lowest score to be defended at Chepauk ground in Chennai in IPL history is 126. In the year 2008, in the very first season of IPL, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, batting first, scored only 126 runs on this ground. In reply, CSK team could not chase this small target and collapsed for 112 runs. Despite scoring only 126 runs, RCB won the match by 14 runs.

The second lowest score to be defended on Chennai’s home ground is 134. In the year 2015, Chennai Super Kings, batting first, scored 134 runs. In reply, Kolkata Knight Riders team could score only 132 runs and the host team won the match by 2 runs.

Chepauk’s pitch generally proves to be helpful for spinners. In such a situation, it is difficult to achieve even the low-score target.

Can Chennai beat Gujarat?

In this match against Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings, despite a bad start, have scored 158 runs on the basis of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten inning of 74 runs. In such a situation, Chennai’s hopes of victory still remain.
