Meanwhile, the Super Kings, after losing their first three games, have recorded back-to-back wins. However, thanks to their three losses, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side has a negative net run rate.
Toss Update: Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Sunrisers Hyderabad started their season with a loss against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, they bounced back with a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, the Orange Army then lost back-to-back games against Lucknow Super Giants. Their win against the Rajasthan Royals impressed the fans thanks the special bowling performance from debutants Sakib Hussain and Praful Hinge. The two pacers picked up four wickets each, with Hinge becoming the first player to pick three wickets in the first over of an innings in the IPL.
The five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings, have not had the best time since the last season. CSK finished last in IPL 2025, and it looked like a similar fate awaited them in the 19th season of the Indian Premier League as well after losing the first three games. However, CSK bounced back strongly and won their last two games against DC and KKR. Sanju Samson scored a century against the Capitals and made 48 vs the Knight Riders.
