Chennai Super Kings They finally started their campaign with a win over Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on 11 April. This was their first win of IPL 2026, and their first win over Chepauk in their last six matches. With complete performances with bat, ball and in the field, he seemed to have found the balance in his combination.
There is a plethora of bowling options suited to the Chennai wicket, and with the star batsmen scoring runs again, expect this upward trend to continue. Although they still have a few shortcomings to overcome, they will look to carry this momentum forward when Kolkata Knight Riders visit Chepauk on April 14.
The strongest probable XI of CSK vs KKR in Match 22 is as follows:
Top order: Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ayush Mhatre
sanju samson Ultimately fell out of the target for the Super Kings. The opening batsman scored his first century in yellow against Delhi Capitals. It was a trademark brilliant innings from Samson as he manipulated the field and displayed his brilliant strokeplay. Ruturaj Gaikwad, on the other hand, is yet to get his season started. Against the Capitals, the captain scored 15 runs in 18 balls and was criticized for his inability to get a good start to the innings.
Ayush Mhatren scored his second half-century of the season against Delhi Capitals and looks like he has sealed a spot for himself. While there is a case for him and Ruturaj to swap positions in 2025 due to the runs scored as openers, the youngster has excelled in this new role as well.
