Gujarat Titans delivered a stunning blow to Chennai Super Kings today, securing a decisive victory in their IPL 2026 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Titans' dominant performance, fueled by a blistering century from Shubman Gill, left the Super Kings reeling and cemented their position at the top of the league table.
Gill's explosive innings of 104 off just 55 balls, which included 9 towering sixes and 7 fours, set the tone for the Titans. He was ably supported by David Miller, who contributed a quickfire 45 off 28 deliveries. The Super Kings' bowlers struggled to contain the onslaught, with only Ravindra Jadeja managing to maintain some semblance of control.
Shubman Gill's Century Steals the Show
The Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that proved immediately fruitful. Openers Gill and Wriddhiman Saha (22) put on a brisk 50-run partnership before Saha fell to Deepak Chahar. However, this only brought Miller to the crease, who along with Gill, accelerated the scoring rate. Gill reached his century in the 17th over, sending the Ahmedabad crowd into a frenzy. His innings will be remembered as one of the finest in IPL history, reportersays. He was eventually dismissed in the 19th over, but the damage was already done.
“It was just one of those days where everything clicked,” Gill said after the match. “The ball was coming onto the bat nicely, and I just tried to capitalize on every opportunity. It’s always special to score a century in front of your home crowd.”
Super Kings' Batting Collapse
Chasing a formidable target of 205, the Super Kings never really got going. Ruturaj Gaikwad (30) showed some early promise, but the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under pressure. Key batsmen like Devon Conway (15) and Shivam Dube (10) failed to make significant contributions. Ravindra Jadeja's late flourish (35 off 20 balls) was not enough to prevent a heavy defeat. The Super Kings were eventually bowled out for 155 in the 19th over.
Rashid Khan was the pick of the Titans' bowlers, claiming 3 wickets for 22 runs. Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma chipped in with two wickets apiece, ensuring that the Super Kings never threatened to chase down the target.
