NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans produced a dominant 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings in their final league stage clash of the IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, a result that lifted their net run rate to +0.695 and sealed a top-two finish on the points table.
The defeat, biggest in terms of runs margin, brought CSK’s campaign to an end, officially eliminating the five-time champions from the IPL 2026.
GT wrapped up the league stage with 9 wins and 5 losses from 14 matches, finishing on 18 points. Their strong net run rate ensured they stayed in the top-two bracket alongside Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who are at top of the table with 18 points from 13 matches, featuring 9 wins and 4 losses and a superior NRR of +1.065.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, who also secured a playoff berth, are third with 16 points from 13 matches, winning 8 games and losing 5. Rajasthan Royals, the favourites to seal the final playoff spot, are fourth with 14 points from 13 outings (7 wins, 6 losses) and an NRR of +0.083.
Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are locked on 13 points each, separated only by net run rate.
PBKS are fifth with 13 points from 13 matches, recording 6 wins, 6 losses and 1 no result, and an NRR of +0.227. KKR, with an identical win-loss record and one no result, are sixth with a marginally lower NRR of +0.011.
Chennai Super Kings concluded their season in seventh place with 12 points from 14 matches, managing 6 wins and 8 losses, and a net run rate of -0.345.
Delhi Capitals are also on 12 points from 13 matches but are placed eighth due to a poorer net run rate of -0.871.
