KL Rahul He had a bad start to his IPL 2026 campaign, but he showed everyone that he is the man to bounce back with his stellar form midway through the tournament. With a century and three half-centuries already in his kitty, Rahul has 433 runs in nine innings and is a real threat for CSK on the Kotla deck. Chennai bowlers will have to be careful of Rahul's stroke play, as he can thwart any bowling attack very easily.
Probable best bowler: Anshul Kamboj

-Anshul KambojThe Haryana bowler has been the best fast bowler, not only for CSK but also in the ongoing nineteenth edition of the tournament. He is the joint-highest wicket taker with Bhuvneshwar Kumar so far with 17 wickets in nine matches. Kamboj's ability to bowl yorkers in the death overs has made him a very lethal weapon for CSK, as the fast bowler has helped the franchise a lot in their comeback story this season.
