Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad hosts Gujarat Titans versus Chennai Super Kings on the IPL 2026 schedule (Match 64, 7:30 PM IST first ball).
The Narendra Modi Stadium surface is slightly two-paced, slower in the middle, sticks for set batters. Par score is 175 first-innings par, and Shubman Gill home advantage measurable. For GT, Shubman Gill is the constant — every Dream11 builder I read has them in the top-3. Rashid Khan is the wicket-taking option. CSK build around Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top and Ravindra Jadeja as the finisher.
Captain stack: Shubman Gill as captain (highest ceiling on the card), Ruturaj Gaikwad vice-captain (consistent floor), Sai Sudharsan as the differential 3rd pick.

With 26 fixtures still to play before the IPL 2026 playoffs cut on 19 May, every match shifts the points-table maths. Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings both have implications on the playoff race — Gujarat Titans are tracking the seeding race more aggressively, and the result here can flip a top-4 vs eliminator outcome by net run-rate alone.
For Dream11 lineup construction the key inputs are the venue (above), the toss decision (chasing teams have been winning roughly 60% of night games at Narendra Modi Stadium this season), and the lineup confirmation 30 minutes before first ball. Lock your team after the toss when possible.
