IPL Today Match 2026, CSK vs DC Match Date, Time, Venue, Playing 11 Prediction: Having lost all their three games in the Indian Premier League’s 2026 season, Chennai Super Kings will be hoping to get the ticker started on their win column with a victory over the Delhi Capitals. In sharp contrast to Chennai, Delhi come into the game with two wins out of their three games so far in IPL 2026.
There are still question marks over team talisman and former captain MS Dhoni since he has been sitting out of games so far due to an injury. Reports had suggested that he was supposed to undergo a fitness test before the Delhi game, and if cleared, he could take the field at Chepauk. Another player who could feature is CSK’s Dewald Brevis, who was also said to be nearing full fitness.

Pitch report for Chepauk and weather forecast in Chennai
This will be the second home game in Chennai for the Chennai Super Kings. In the first game, the team had lost despite scoring 209 in the first innings with Punjab Kings chasing the target down with eight balls remaining. If the first game and history are any indicators, expect a high-scoring encounter in Chepauk since the surface in the ground has been favourable to batters.
Gone are the days when the Chepauk was a spin-friendly fortress, a venue where CSK’s synchronized spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin choked batters on slow, turning tracks. These days, the ball comes onto the bat nicely, and strokeplay is easy.
India scored 254 against Zimbabwe here in a T20 World Cup match at Chepauk not too far ago.
