Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were knocked out of the IPL 2026 play-off race after a crushing 89-run defeat against Gujarat Titans. Following the loss, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was fined ₹24 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate, while the rest of the playing XI, including the impact player, were fined ₹6 lakh each. This was the team's second offense of the season. Chasing a target of 230, CSK collapsed despite Shivam Dube's quickfire 47, as stars like Sanju Samson failed to score. The future of MS Dhoni remains uncertain as the team looks toward potential changes for the next season. https://www.kannadaprabha.com/cricket/2026/May/22/ipl-2026-entire-csk-team-punished-captain-ruturaj-gaikwad-handed-hefty-fine-after-final-match-against-gujarat-titans #creator program
