Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Sarfaraz Khan failed to deliver with the bat against Gujarat Titans (GT) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Fans were frustrated as the Chennai Super Kings middle-order batter could not score in the match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, April 26.
GT skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision proved fruitful for the visiting team as they picked up three wickets inside the first five overs during the afternoon game. Kagiso Rabada dismantled the Super Kings’ top order with two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj bagged one scalp.
CSK brought in Sarfaraz Khan as an Impact Player after losing two early wickets, replacing Urvil Patel, who lasted just 3 deliveries. This marked the second time this season that CSK used their Impact Sub option within the first four overs, after a similar move against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati.
However, the move did not work as planned. Sarfaraz Khan was dismissed for a golden duck on his very first ball. Mohammed Siraj bowled a short cross-seam delivery, and Sarfaraz attempted a pull shot. The ball took a top edge and went high in the air, and Jos Buttler completed a comfortable catch.
CSK’s troubles deepened quickly as they lost three wickets within just 8 deliveries. On a lively Chepauk pitch offering pace and bounce, Siraj and Rabada dominated the powerplay, reducing the home side to 28/3 and putting them under early pressure.

— Maddy ✨ (@Maddy_pm_here) April 26, 2026Saw how Siraj and Rabada bowled with new ball and decided to waste the impact sub on Sarfaraz and not hold onto it for Mukesh.
— Heisenberg ☢ (@internetumpire) April 26, 2026So this management kept Mukesh Choudhury Out of xi Who bowled Well last match & kept in Gurjapneet who was used as a sixth bowling option & they used sarfaraz as impact sub when they were just 2 wkts down..Such Trash?What's the actual substance they've been smoking ? #CSKvsGT
— ? ? ? ? ? (@TitannnX) April 26, 2026Using up the impact right after losing 2 wickets was a confusing move when they actually had Kartik who bats at 4 for Rajasthan... But then Sarfaraz playing that shot seeing them struggle was even more funny.
