    IPL 2026: Gaikwad, Kartik Smash Unbeaten Fifties As CSK Thrash MI By Eight Wickets

    Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings rode on unbeaten half‑centuries by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and youngster Kartik Sharma to complete a commanding eight‑wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.

    A target of 160 wasn’t a massive one for CSK, and Gaikwad hit 67 not out off 48 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes, his second successive fifty. Kartik, meanwhile, registered his maiden IPL half‑century in an unbeaten 40-ball vigil, hitting four boundaries and three sixes, as CSK wrapped up the chase with 11 balls remaining.

    At the age of 20 years and 6 days, Kartik became the second youngest CSK batter to score an IPL fifty after Ayush Mhatre (17y 291d). The duo rotated strike wisely and punished the loose deliveries by sending them to the boundary ropes, and kept the chase firmly under control through a 98-run stand off 75 balls for the third wicket.
