The 66th match of the IPL 2026 season is being played between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. Gujarat has already reached the playoffs, but for Chennai it is a do or die match. If CSK wants to keep its playoff hopes alive, it will not accept anything less than a win over Gujarat. This match is being played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. If Chennai wants to win, then know how many runs it will have to restrict Gujarat to.

How much score will Chennai chase easily?

In the history of IPL, the biggest score at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is in the name of Punjab Kings, who scored 243 runs in 2025. The biggest run chase on this ground is also in the name of Punjab Kings, who successfully chased the target of 204 runs against Mumbai Indians in the 2025 season. Apart from this, Kolkata Knight Riders have also achieved the target of 204 runs here.

The problem for Chennai Super Kings is that they have never been able to touch the 200-run mark in the second innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. In such a situation, it is important that CSK bowlers limit Gujarat to a score of less than 200. However, Chennai’s biggest score here in the first innings is 230 runs.

Difficulty in front of CSK

Batting in the second innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Chennai Super Kings’ biggest win came against Gujarat Titans in the final of the 2023 season. In that match, Gujarat batted first and scored 214 runs. But Chennai won that rain-affected match by 5 wickets through DLS method. History shows that the Chennai team is often seen struggling to score big scores here.
