Chennai, April 26 -- Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League 2026, opting to chase on what appeared to be a good batting surface here on Sunday.
Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill said the decision was influenced by the nature of the pitch and the importance of assessing conditions before setting targets. He noted that while the surface looked conducive for batting, controlling the flow of runs during the middle overs would be key. Gill also highlighted the need to capitalise in the powerplay if conditions permit, but stressed adaptability depending on the behaviour of the wicket.
