CSK vs DC IPL 2026 Season So Far 

Coming to Chennai Super Kings, they are currently on the back foot, having suffered three consecutive defeats and sitting at the bottom of the points table. What has hurt even more is the manner of those losses.

In their opening match against Rajasthan Royals, CSK suffered a batting collapse, with the top order crumbling to 19/3 in just 3.1 overs. They were eventually bowled out for 127 and lost the match by 8 wickets.

In the second game against Punjab Kings, things looked better as they posted a strong 209/5, powered by a brilliant 73 from Ayush Mhatre. But the bowlers couldn’t defend the total, and CSK ended up losing by 5 wickets.

Their most recent outing was even more difficult, as they suffered a heavy 43-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. RCB piled on 250/3, scoring a massive 99 runs in the final five overs. Tim David starred with a blistering 70* off 25 balls. In response, CSK’s chase never got going after losing their top three batters inside the first three overs.

Now, they face a confident Delhi Capitals side that currently sits fourth on the points table after a strong start. Delhi won their opening two matches against Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, both by six wickets, with Sameer Rizvi playing a key role in both victories. Their only defeat came in a heartbreaking one-run loss against Gujarat Titans.
