'My heart will bleed Yellow': After shameful loss vs GT, Sarfaraz Khan shares emotional message for CSK fanbase

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finished their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season with a disappointing note, as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side endured a shameful 89-run loss against Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on May 21. However, it seems that Sarfaraz Khan has made a special connection with the Yellow Army despite getting limited chances in the line-up.

CSK's underwhelming campaign in IPL 2026

It is fair to say that the five-time champions endured a disastrous IPL 2026 campaign, starting the season with a hat-trick of defeats before a brief mid-season resurgence reignited hopes of a playoff berth. However, the loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) respectively almost diminished the chances but the defeat to GT crushed every inch of the playoff dreams.

CSK finished their season at the seventh place with 12 points in hand after playing all 14 matches (six wins and eight losses) at a net run rate of -0.345.
