IPL 2026: This Is A Game Where We Can Head Up, Push Ourselves On The Winning Side, Says CSK's Dube
Senior Chennai Super Kings: Senior Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Shivam Dube believes the side has gained enough momentum from their recent outings to turn the corner and secure a victory in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Five-time champions CSK have been pushed on the back foot early in the season due to three consecutive defeats to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Attention will now be on whether CSK can revive their campaign against the Delhi Capitals at their home ground. Overall, we are doing really well. From the first game and the last game we played last game, I think we have come very close. We know we lost by 43 runs in the match (to RCB), but we saw much positivity in the second and third games. I think this is a game where we can head up and push ourselves on the winning side, Dube said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. The hard-hitting left-hander also noted that the flat nature of the Chepauk track often leads to high-scoring thrillers despite its expansive boundaries. Definitely, in this stadium, the game goes on a higher side because we know the wicket is very good. The ground is a little big, but the wickets are good, and in IPL, people want that high-scoring game, so even we want to play that kind of cricket, added Dube. Overall, we are doing really well. From the first game and the last game we played last game, I think we have come very close. We know we lost by 43 runs in the match (to RCB), but we saw much positivity in the second and third games.

IPL 2026: Nabi Handed Debut As DC Elect To Bowl First Against CSK, Brevis, Gurjapneet Included
Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar: Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar, the leading wicket-taker in the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy win for Jammu and Kashmir, has been handed his IPL debut cap as Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2026 encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. DC arrive on the back of an agonising one-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans, while CSK come with three consecutive defeats behind them. CSK have drafted in Dewald Brevis, who was recovering from a side strain, and left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh. After winning the toss, DC skipper Axar Patel said Nabi and Ashutosh Sharma will come in place of Vipraj Nigam and Nitish Rana in the playing eleven. Ashutosh will come in DCs batting innings as the Impact Player, while Sameer Rizvi is slotted at number three. We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament, and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control. Once we reach a certain point, theres no need to overthink things. So thats been the mindset, control whats in our hands. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost all bases covered. Obviously, based on the options we had, I think weve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced, and hopefully, we will perform well today. As for the surface, it has been a good batting wicket this season. Over the last couple of years in Chennai, it has played well. Its a red soil pitch, so there should be good bounce. Our aim will be to restrict them to as low a total as possible and then chase it down, he said. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said it was good to have Brevis back and strengthen the middle order, while Gurjapneet replaces Matt Henry. Regarding the status of MS Dhoni, whos recuperating from a calf injury, Gaikwad said he will be watching the game from the team hotel and hopes for him to play very soon. The pitch does look a bit on the drier side. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but its good to back ourselves. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get that first win, and get on the points table. Thats what weve been trying over the last couple of games as well. Like I mentioned in the press conference, weve been improving in all departments. The batting has been doing really well; its just a few key moments where weve missed out, and those are the areas we need to capitalise on. But overall, everyone is in a good space and really eager to go. When you look at the balance of the side, we are definitely playing to our potential, he said. In their pitch report, Daren Ganga and Deep Dasgupta noted that the ground dimensions remain challenging - a 79-metre straight boundary is complemented by square boundaries measuring 65 and 68 metres respectively. With pitch becoming more conducive for pacers, they pointed out that visible bare patches could help spinners find some purchase, while an even grass covering should provide a stable platform for batters, making another high-scoring encounter a possibility.

IPL 2026 Rivalry Week Set to Ignite with Blockbuster Clashes Featuring MI, RCB, CSK, KKR and More
The 2026 edition of theIPL is heating up, with teams gradually settling on their best XIs and gaining a better understanding of their home conditions as the tournament progresses. Two weeks in, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals look the most settled in terms of balance, squad depth, and players delivering consistently. Now, with Rivalry Week on JioStar around the corner, some of the most celebrated teams are set to lock horns in iconic contests that could define the tone for a blockbuster second half of the season. Here are five reasons why Rivalry Week promises unmissable action for fans. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (April 12) There could not be a bigger fixture to kick off Rivalry Week. Two of Indias modern icons, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, now seen in just one format in India colours, go head-to-head once again. The last time MI faced RCB, both were still active Test cricketers. Add to that the subplot and battle of the Pandya brothers, Hardik vs Krunal, and it only elevates the contest. Another interesting match-up is the battle of the GOATs, with Kohli facing the guile and firepower of Jasprit Bumrah. While MI lead the overall head-to-head 1915, RCB have had the upper hand in recent meetings and, on current form, the defending champions will be keen to make it three wins in the last four against a star-studded MI line-up. Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders (April 14) A rivalry shaped by title-denying moments, KKR halted CSKs bid for a hat-trick in 2012, while CSK returned the favour in 2021. In recent years, this fixture has also been defined by the crossover of personnel, with former CSK players like Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, and others representing KKR, alongside familiar faces in the support staff like Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson. CSK won all three contests in 2021, but since IPL 2022, the head-to-head stands evenly poised at 33, with both teams sharing the spoils. With both of them currently near the bottom of the table, this clash is not just about points, but also about gaining the upper hand in an evenly matched rivalry in recent years. Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings (April 16) This fixture is often remembered for the iconic double Super Over clash in the 2020 edition. There have been several notable overlaps between the two sides over the years, from Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan to Axar Patel, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and more recently Nehal Wadhera. One name that adds an interesting layer is Shreyas Iyer, a Mumbaikar, closely tied to both Mumbai as a city and PBKS as a side. While he has never represented MI in the TATA IPL, his impact for PBKS last season was significant, playing a key role in knocking out the five-time champions. With the head-to-head evenly poised at 17-17, this clash on April 16 promises another gripping chapter. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals (April 18) From growing up as a West Delhi boy to now becoming the face of RCB, this fixture evolved into a rivalry with Virat Kohli at the heart of it for his connections between both cities. But last season added a new layer: KL Rahul with that Kantara celebration, marking his territory at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, injected fresh intensity into the rivalry. Both teams have consistently featured in the top half of the table in recent years, leading to closely fought contests. RCB hold a 20-12 head-to-head advantage, but with the clash being in Bengaluru first up, Rahul will once again be under the spotlight. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings (April 18) Also Read: Live Cricket Score This Southern Rivalry traces back to the 2018 final, where CSK outclassed SRH to lift the title. However, in recent seasons, the tide seems to have turned. While CSK are navigating a transition phase, SRH have emerged as one of the most explosive sides, powered by a fearless batting unit. CSK still hold a commanding 157 head-to-head advantage, but SRH have won the last two encounters. Over the last four seasons, its a deadlock at three wins and three losses against each other. On current form, CSK will need to raise their game to counter SRHs high-powered batting, especially on a typically flat Hyderabad surface.
