IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch CSK Vs DC, Know All Details
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday as they look to end the quest for their first win in this season. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have had a poor start to their campaign this season, with the five-time champions still searching for their first win after losing all three matches so far. Their run began with a defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, followed by another setback against the Punjab Kings. In their latest outing, they were comfortably beaten by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With pressure mounting, CSK will be eager to bounce back and finally get off the mark in front of their home fans. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have looked like a composed and well-rounded side in IPL 2026. They kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their previous match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans. The head-to-head record between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in T20 matches shows a clear edge for CSK. Out of 31 matches played between the two sides, Chennai Super Kings have won 19, while Delhi Capitals have secured 12 victories. There have been no tied matches or no results in their encounters. The rivalry began on May 2, 2008, with Delhi Capitals winning the first-ever fixture, and in their most recent meeting on April 5, 2025, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious.

Keep These Things To Yourself: Babar Azam Fumes At Reporter Over Kohli Comparison In PSL
Pakistan Super League: Babar Azam found himself at the centre of a heated moment off the field after dismissing comparisons with Virat Kohli during a post-match press conference in the Pakistan Super League 2026. The Peshawar Zalmi skipper, who guided his side to a tense last-ball victory over the Hyderabad Kingsmen, appeared visibly displeased when questioned about his ability to finish games in comparison to Kohli. While Babar contributed a measured 43 off 37 balls in the chase of 146, he was not at the crease at the end, prompting the query. Responding in a seemingly frustrated manner, Babar brushed aside the suggestion and urged the journalist to move on from such debates. Finish these things. Keep these things to yourself. End the comparison and move on. It's your misconception that I have not finished matches, he said. The exchange quickly gained traction, once again highlighting the scrutiny surrounding cross-border comparisons between leading cricketers. Widely regarded as Pakistans premier batter, Babar has often been praised for his consistency, though his approach in T20 cricket has drawn criticism, particularly around strike rate and finishing ability. So far this season, Babar has accumulated 82 runs from two outings at a strike rate of 126.15, registering 10 boundaries and one six. In contrast, Kohli, now retired from Tests and T20 Internationals, continues to feature in franchise cricket with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. The Indian veteran has made an immediate impact this season, scoring 97 runs in two matches, including an unbeaten 69 in a successful chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Known for his prowess in run chases, Kohli has maintained a strike rate of 173.21 and will aim to sustain that momentum as Bengaluru look to defend their title. So far this season, Babar has accumulated 82 runs from two outings at a strike rate of 126.15, registering 10 boundaries and one six.

Rashid Khan Doubtful For One-off Test Against India, Wary Of Taking Too Much Red-ball Load
ODI World Cup: Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, currently turning out for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026, has cast doubt over his participation in the upcoming one-off Test against India in June, saying the demands of red-ball cricket could put his long-term career at risk. Shortly after IPL 2026 ends, Afghanistan will play a one-off Test against India in New Chandigarh from June 6-10. Since Afghanistan played its first Test against India in 2018, they have played 12 Tests and Rashid, who had 45 scalps in the longer format, has played in only six of them last of which came against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in January 2025. His red-ball availability has also been limited after undergoing back surgery post 2023 ODI World Cup. I think I already played one before (against India in 2018 in Bengaluru). I will just take it easy. Imagine something happens to my back in a Test match. But I cant play 100 Test matches. If you play one Test a year, you cant play for 100 years! Red-ball cricket is a little difficult because that was the first thing my doctor told me - stay away from red-ball cricket. I still went ahead and played. After the surgery, I played a game against Zimbabwe and bowled 67 overs, which was crazy. The doctor told me, if you dont want to play cricket, you can keep playing red-ball cricket. He said its not going to help me and that I wont be able to play for long. I still went ahead and played, but when he found out I had bowled 67 overs across two innings, he was shocked. He said, you cant do that to yourself, said Rashid in the post-match press conference, after GT beat DC by a solitary run in a nail-biting clash.

I will try, but if I bowl a spell of 2025 overs, I have to bowl the whole day if Im in the team. In my last two Test matches, I bowled 167 overs, which is simply too much. I will take it easy and prepare myself for the World Cup, he added. Article Source: IANS
