The match, played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, ended with CSK losing by a whopping 89 runs.

The loss also officially knocked them out of the playoffs race, marking a disappointing end to their season.

On this note, we list down CSK's largest defeat in terms of runs in IPL history.

89 runs vs GT, 2026

The 89-run defeat against GT in the aforementioned game tops this list.

Batting first, GT posted a mammoth total of 229/4 thanks to fifties from Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler.

In response, CSK's chase never got going as they lost regular wickets.

Despite Shivam Dube's quickfire 47 off 17 balls, CSK were bowled out for just 140 runs in 13.4 overs.

Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, and Mohammed Siraj trapped three batters each.

60 runs vs MI, 2013

CSK's previous biggest IPL defeat in terms of runs came against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2013.

MI posted a modest 139/5 while batting first at the Wankhede Stadium.

The home team bowlers then unleashed havoc, skittling CSK for just 79 runs in 15.2 overs.

Eight batters fell for single digits as Mitchell Johnson (3/27), Pragyan Ojha (3/11), and Lasith Malinga (2/6) ran riot, sealing a humiliating 60-run loss for CSK.

54 runs vs PBKS, 2022

CSK suffered another heavy loss against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Brabourne Stadium in 2022. They lost that match by 54 runs.

Liam Livingstone's explosive 60 off 32 and Jitesh Sharma's quickfire 26 powered PBKS to 180/8 while batting first.

In reply, Shivam Dube's fighting 53 wasn't enough as Rahul Chahar (3/25), Livingstone (2/25), and Vaibhav Arora (2/21) ripped through CSK's lineup, bundling them out for just 126 in 18 overs.
