#livestream #cricketlive #cricket LIVE: CSK vs GT, IPL 2026 Match 66 | Chennai vs Gujarat | Live Cricket Match Today | Iqbal Sports Welcome to Iqbal Sports. It’s the final league-stage push of the 2026 season, and Match 66 brings a high-stakes clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium. While Gujarat have already punched their ticket to the playoffs, they are desperately hunting a top-two finish. Meanwhile, the five-time champions Chennai find themselves pushing for survival on the brink of elimination. Match Details & Context * Fixture: Gujarat vs Chennai , Match 66 * Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad * Date & Time: Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 7:30 PM IST * Current Standings: GUJARAT sits at 2nd place (16 points, +0.400 NRR). CHENNAI is sliding at 7th place (12 points, -0.016 NRR). The Playoff Scenarios * Gujarat : A convincing win here almost guarantees Shubman Gill’s men a spot in Qualifier 1. They are locked in a tight Net Run Rate battle with Hyderabad (+0.350) for that crucial 2nd spot. * Chennai : After a tough 5-wicket loss to HYDERABAD, Ruturaj Gaikwad's men need a massive victory and a mountain of external results to go their way to somehow sneak into the 4th spot. Tactical Battles to Watch * The Powerplay vs Kagiso Rabada: In their previous encounter, Rabada dismantled CHENNAI's top order with a 3-wicket burst. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson ( top scorer this season with 477 runs) must survive his opening spell. * The Middle-Overs Spin Squeeze: GUJARAT will count on Rashid Khan to choke the runs, but Samson has historically been one of the best counters of wrist spin. Conversely, CHENNAI will rely on left-arm orthodox Akeal Hosein to try and contain Shubman Gill early, whom he has dismissed twice in T20s. * Gaikwad's Form: Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has faced heavy scrutiny for a slower strike rate (120.68) this season compared to his usual standard. How he handles the Ahmedabad deck will dictate CHENNAI's powerplay efficiency. Pitch & Weather Conditions The massive boundaries in Ahmedabad usually provide a balanced contest, though recent matches on this strip haven't been runaway high-scoring thrillers (averaging sub-170 scores). Dew is highly expected to play a factor in the second innings, making the toss crucial—expect the captain winning the toss to bowl first. Temperatures will remain hot, hovering in the high 30s even into the evening. aaj ka match live cricket match live match today cricket live match today online live match today लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर live cricket match Iqbal Sports live live match today hindi commentary India match live live match today how to watch cricket live in mobile live cricket 2022 लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर live cricket match ipl 2026 live kaise dekhe ipl live kaise dekhe ipl live stream in india ipl live stream in nepal ipl live live ipl match #livestream #livescore #trending Score Credit: crex.live Image credit: BCCI, Star India, ICC Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

#livestream #ipl2024 #cricket IPL 2024 Live: CSK vs GT Live Match | IPL Live Score & Commentary | Chennai vs Gujarat Live Match Business query: info.iqbalsports@gmail.com Join Telegram: https://t.me/iqbalsports Preview: MS Dhoni's words after CSK made it to their 10th final last season through the first qualifier against Gujarat Titans summed up the team's ability to weaponize their home conditions. CSK are only one of the few teams capable of doing that, and yet that has been a bit of a lottery. CSK lost three home games in 2023, including one on a true surface on which they scored 200 batting first. The slowness in the surface that has often helped Dhoni box the opposition in with spin has appeared and vanished on a whim. The nature of the surface this early in the season might not concern Gujarat Titans though. They come with a heady dose of adrenaline coursing through them from downing Mumbai Indians in an extremely close home fixture just one night ago after what transpired between the two in the off-season. The heist - with some tight middle-overs and death bowling, reestablished the fact that Titans continue to be the sum of their parts. Should Chepauk revert to type on Tuesday, Mohit Sharma's variations will be handy. Mohit has featured in 14 previous IPL fixtures at the venue, picking 18 wickets, with an economy rate of 7.25. Left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore, who got a wet ball to grip and dip in dewy conditions in Ahmedabad - will also be relied upon by GT as they take him back to his domestic home turf. Against MI, GT demonstrated their ability to not get thrown off course by the pressures of a six or two in a tight defence of their total. CSK with their ability to field at least 10 players capable of successfully swinging for the fences will be a sterner test of their resolve. Squads: Chennai Super Kings Squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni(w), Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande, Shardul Thakur, Shaik Rasheed, Moeen Ali, Nishant Sindhu, Mitchell Santner, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Prashant Solanki, Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjeet Singh, RS Hangargekar, Aravelly Avanish Gujarat Titans Squad: Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Azmatullah Omarzai, David Miller, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson, Mohit Sharma, Sharath BR, Abhinav Manohar, Noor Ahmad, Manav Suthar, Matthew Wade, Kane Williamson, Shahrukh Khan, Joshua Little, Darshan Nalkande, Kartik Tyagi, Sushant Mishra, Sandeep Warrier, Jayant Yadav aaj ka match live cricket match jio cinema live cricket match today live match today cricket live match today online live match today how to watch cricket live in mobile live cricket 2022 लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans live match today live cricket match Iqbal Sports live live match today Hotstar Live Iqbal Sports hindi commentary Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Live CSK vs GT Live CSK vs GT Live CSK Live Match IPL Live IPL 2024 Live IPL Live Match Today IPL 2024 Live Match Indian Premier League match live match live india IPL live stream online iqbal commentary iqbal sports live commentary iqbal sports commentary ipl 2024 live kaise dekhe watch free ipl live ipl live kaise dekhe ipl live stream in india ipl live stream in nepal #livestream #livescore #trending Score Credit: crex.live Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

IPL 2023 Final (Reserve day) Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Live This Match Will be Played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad on 29th May 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final (Reserve day) Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan Hello and a warm welcome ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of the grand finale in the 16th edition of the Indian T20 League as we are about to witness an enthralling encounter between two of the best sides in the competition this here. We are at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as the reigning champions lock horns against four-time winners Chennai in the biggest cricket ground in the world with the world waiting in anticipation to see who comes up trumps. Both teams have won once against each other in this edition with Gujarat claiming a win in their opening match at this venue but Chennai got the better of their opponents at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Qualifier 1. However this is the game that matters the most with the coveted title on the line and it is to be seen which side comes up trumps in this enticing final fixture. Head to Head: Chennai Super Kings 1 - 3 Gujarat Titans. The cut-off time for a 20-over contest is 9:35 PM IST. The cut-off time for a 5-over per side contest is 12:05 AM IST. So let us see a few possibilities about the match start time and overs: 9:45 PM - 19 overs per side. 10:30 PM - 15 overs per side. 11:00 PM - 12 overs per side. 11:30 PM - 9 overs per side. 12.05 AM - 5 overs per side. For Super over 12.50am IST. In the most unlikely situation the team at the top of the league table will be declared the winner. Chennai Super Kings Tactics & Matchups: Deepak Chahar is one of the rare bowlers who has had some success against Shubman Gill. The seamer has dismissed the in-form GT opener thrice in 47 balls while conceding 62 runs in IPL. His spell upfront will be the key for CSK. Similarly the out-of-form Ambati Rayudu could have a role to play in countering Rashid Khan in the middle overs. The batter has scored 91 runs off the leggie in 73 balls getting dismissed only once. Gujarat Titans Tactics & Matchups: Mohammed Shami has dismissed Devon Conway thrice in 12 balls conceding only 5 runs. He could be the key to give GT the early impetus. On the batting front Gill will continue to be their trump card. If he manages to start well he can be effective against Ravindra Jadeja who hasn't dismissed him in 48 balls. Pitch Report (Simon Doull and Matthew Hayden): " Doull- It is grand final time in the IPL 2023. The crowds are unrolling nicely. We are right in the center of the magnificent ground. 66 meters away to the leg side 66 to the off side some big pockets - 73 m 74 m 72 m and downtown we have 74 meters as well. I am going to bring the expert in. It is time to welcome Matthew Hayden. It is grand final time. What are you thinking and what are you doing? [Matthew Hayden] I believe it's a bat-first condition in finals. There might be a few overhead conditions that might change the thoughts of the captains at the toss. But when you think about the last game you can just take one player Shubman Gill 129!! Got the job done and took the team to a monstrous total. When you look at the last final here as well 130 were posted in the finals and they were hammered through. Whatever you do first do it right first. The conditions tells they look a little bit mostly [type of soil]. Don't they? That rolled grass through the conditions. There isn't a lot of turn here. But maybe maybe these world-class spinners are going to get a bit of grip in the middle. Bat first if you do you gotta go very big. I feel you need to get 180-190 plus scores. [Simon Doull] I am with Haydos if you bat first bat well you do the job and it will be good enough." Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

Welcome!! Welcome!! At the cusp of two months since the start of the IPL 2023 we are finally down to the last battle that determines the champion. It's the Master 💛 versus the Apprentice 💙 at the clash of clashes in the 16th edition of the IPL. The iconic Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad will be staging today's main event clash. MS Dhoni is all set to play his 250th IPL match. Wherever CSK have played this year there's been a sea of yellow in the crowd. Dhoni who's hobbled through the season is yet to decide whether he'll come back next year. Today will be his 250th IPL appearance and this stadium which is starting to fill up quickly is going to be rocking at just a glimpse of the man. "The hope and joy his devotees raise at a fleeting vision of him on the big screen during Chennai Super Kings' innings explodes in a supernova of ecstasy when eventually he comes in to bat" writes Telford Vice. "The feeling of it is a wonder of the age even when seen and heard from the other hemisphere by the most agnostic of neutrals." What can perhaps worry GT? No batter other than Shubman Gill has stamped his authority. Sai Sudarshan has been impressive in the few opportunities he has got but the other batters have struggled a bit. No batter other than Gill is in the list of top 20 batters in this season. The fact that Hardik is second in the run scorer’s list and has scored 325 runs in total shows you that Gill has been on a different level. Their designated finishers Miller and Tewatia have had less game time and if the CSK bowlers manage to dismantle GT’s top order quickly it will be a stern test for them. The pressure of a finale can make even the best susceptible. What can perhaps worry CSK? A team that finished second after the league stages and then made it straight to the final generally don’t have too many weaknesses. However the success of their top-order has meant the middle order has had very little batting. The likes of Moeen Ali Ambati Rayudu and even Dhoni have had very little to do this season and a final would be a bad time for this franchise to lose 2-3 quick wickets. Secondly barring Deepak Chahar and Jadeja none of their bowlers have played an IPL final or even a game of this magnitude. So how will they hold up to more than a lakh spectators jeering them up will be interesting to see… Top Players on Venue: Shubman Gill: 630 Runs in 11 Matches Rashid Khan: 14 Wickets in 9 Matches Ruturaj Gaikwad: 92 Runs in 1 Match CSK vs GT (Player Battles) Devon Conway vs Mohammad Shami: Balls: 12 Runs: 5 Dismissals: 3 Shubman Gill vs Deepak Chahar: Balls: 47 Runs: 62 Dismissals: 3 Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Rashid Khan: Balls: 57 Runs: 84 Dismissals: 2 Hardik Pandya vs Ravindra Jadeja: Balls: 16 Runs: 18 Dismissals: 2. The weather is overcast at the Motera now. Some glimpses of white clouds can be spotted amidst the gloomy sky. Parts of Ahmedabad Anand Aravalli Bharuch & Vadodara are likely to experience light thunderstorms and strong winds during the next 2-3 hours according to the India Meteorological Department. So the latest updates say the match can start as late as 10:10 PM IST around without overs being lost (as per broadcast). We will start to lose overs after 9:30 PM IST (as per Harsha Bhogle) Cut-off time for a 5-over game: 11:56 PM IST. The toss is delayed due to the hosing down of rain ☔️. It is still pouring down and add on with the rain we have lightning and thunder. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

Will it be a sea of dark blue💜 or a sea of yellow💛Amidst a lakh spectators who will emerge victorious? Is it the last ride for the former Indian captain aka. one of the most decorated minds that the game has ever witnessed? MS Dhoni!!💪🏼Will Captain Cool have a fairytale ending in the glitterati league? Or is it still not over?😱 The story is yet to meet its climax. After 59 freaking days 🥶 and 73 scintillating clashes we are down to one last encounter where the Master meets the Protege at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. It's the battle of the two formidable sides of the 2023 Indian Premier League as Gujarat Titans rub shoulders with the Chennai Super Kings in the main event of the box-office show. Head-to-Head: After four matches between the two teams Gujarat Titans lead the contest with 3 wins whereas Chennai Super Kings have won just a single game against them. It was the Qualifier 1 encounter where CSK defeated GT for the first time. It is worth noting that the Yellow Army is yet to win a game against GT in Ahmedabad. Team Preview (Chennai Super Kings): The four-time champions have come a long way after an off-season last year. Chennai Super Kings seem to have been the team who have peaked at the right time in the ongoing IPL 2023. MS Dhoni and CSK is a different love story and the mastermind has blurred his future plans a few days back during the post-match presentations. One never knows if it is going to be the ultimate match of Captain Cool in the venerated Yellow jersey. CSK ended the league stages with 17 points from the full quota of 14 encounters. They won eight matches and lost six of them. One of the games against LSG was ruined due to rain. Finishing at the second spot in the league table the MS Dhoni-led unit played Qualifier 1 against the Titans and eclipsed them in a one-sided encounter in Chennai. Team Preview ( Gujarat Titans): The defending champions led by Hardik Pandya have been ever-dominant during the league stages of IPL 2023. They initiated with a win over the Chennai Super Kings in the season opener right at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. Since then they have never looked back on their aim to reach the finals and book their spot for the mega clash. Having played 14 games they have won 10 matches and secured 20 points thereby finishing at the top spot in the league table. The side has built a team around its core which includes the likes of Shubman Gill Wriddhiman Saha Hardik Pandya Rashid Khan Mohammad Shami David Miller and Rahul Tewatia. The best part of the franchise has been their role definition. Saha has gone over the 30-yard circle in the powerplay more often while Shubman Gill has played through his natural charisma amalgamated with sheer elegance. With three glorious centuries under his name the 23-year-old has been the 'Visionary' the 'Revolutionary' the 'Shubman Freakin Gill' for the Titans. Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar have had their impact for the team in various circumstances. Even at times we have witnessed the skipper step up early with the bat and also with the ball in hand. The likes of David Miller Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia have formed the lower middle order for them with Abhinav Manohar on the queue as the impact substitute in certain situations. What to expect: Even as the weather is expected to be mostly sunny and dry the possibility of brief showers hasn't been ruled out. A day ahead of the game Vikram Solanki has stated that the pitch is expected to be friendly for scoring runs.

IPL 2023 Match 1 Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Live This Match Will be Played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad on 31st March 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Match 1 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media.

Gujarat Titans lead the tally 2-0. Gujarat Titans (Team Preview): The defending champions will be led by Hardik Pandya once again. In their maiden IPL season they ended up winning the title. The Titans fetched some renowned names such as Kane Williamson KS Bharat Mohit Sharma Odean Smith Shivam Mavi etc. As of now there haven't been any injury updates from this camp. But David Miller is supposed to miss the initial few matches due to the Netherlands ODI series. It is a very pivotal competition for them as the World Cup qualification scenario hangs on the cliff. When it comes to the team combination Wriddhiman Saha is likely to open the innings with Shubman Gill. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is the frontrunner for the third position. Other than him they have options like B Sai Sudarshan KS Bharat and Vijay Shankar who could play a vital role in the middle order. When it comes to the bowling department Mohammed Shami is likely to spearhead💪🏼 the attack. Alongside him Shivam Mavi and Alzarri Joseph are likely to play a key part. The management will also have the flexibility to use Pradeep Sangwan Mohit Sharma or Joshua Little if the need arises. Chennai Super Kings (Team Preview): The four-time champions had a poor season last year finishing in the penultimate position. Previously MS Dhoni cleared the air by stating that he would play his last game at the Chepauk. Indirectly this proved that he would be up for at least one more season (2023) with the Yellow army. Talk about the history of the franchise CSK has made the playoffs 11 times which is the most by any franchise. They won titles in 2010 2011 2018 and 2021. Ahead of the 16th season they have suffered a blow as left-arm pacer Mukesh Chaudhary is doubtful for the first half of the season. He is rehabilitating from a back injury🤕 and is currently at the NCA. In addition the Sri Lankan duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana are going to miss the initial few matches due to national duties against New Zealand. They replaced Proteas bowler Sisanda Magala with the injured Kyle Jamieson. When it comes to the playing combination Ruturaj Gaikwad is likely to open with Devon Conway. Ben Stokes is supposed to play as a specialized batter as the English red ball skipper would be serving his knee injury. Moeen Ali and one of Mitchell Santner or Dwaine Pretorius are likely to feature in the first XI. Deepak Chahar is all set to lead the bowling attack while Ambati Rayudu Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni are likely to comprise the Indian core in the batting. You could be counting days but might not have realized how rapidly time flew by. It feels like just a few months when Gujarat Titans clinched their maiden title🏆 in their first appearance of the IPL. Since then the train went passed stations named Asia Cup T20 World Cup and Border Gavaskar Trophy. Now we're heading to the destination termed 'Indian Premier League'. A glittering platform where raw talent meets international exposure. A place where valor meets creativity. A foundation with heaps of expectations and ready to filter the best of all. So who'll be the last man standing? We need to wait eight more weeks. Until then let's feel the thrill. Gujarat Titans are all set to welcome Chennai Super Kings for match no.1 of the glamorous league at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. This will be the first match for both teams.
