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.

RCB, RR game is going to be a firecracker | Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan
Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru face off in a battle royale.
Indian Premier League: Over its 19-year existence, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has pushed to the forefront many unknown young Indian pacers who have wrestled with the speed gun and made a name for themselves. Ashok Sharma, Gujarat Titans' lightning-quick bowler, is the latest local-boy-turned-speed-demon who has caught the imagination of IPL fans, just like his peers. Sharma hopes to one day play for India, terrorizing batters in the international circuit. From the likes of Kamran Khan in 2008 to Umran Malik in 2021-22 and Mayank Yadav a couple of seasons back. Some of them have blown the speed gun before injuries halted their progress. The 23-year-old Ashok became the newest pace sensation to emerge on the IPL horizon when he bowled the fastest delivery of the IPL 2026 season on April 4, hitting a stunning 154.2 kph thunderbolt against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Ashok Sharma went past South African quick Anrich Nortjes 150.9 clicks for Lucknow Super Giants, becoming only the second 150 kph-plus ball in the season. In a media interaction on Friday, Sharma avoided answering questions on IPL speed demons that have faced away after hitting the 150 kmph mark on the speed gun, beset by injuries. He said if he keeps following his process, sleeps well, and eats well, he would be able to avoid injuries. Sharma, who says that, unlike at the domestic level, the margin of error is small in IPL, is banking on following the processes diligently and consistently and says that will keep him in good standing. I want to do what I have been consistently following so farsuch as sleeping on time and eating on timeis what I prioritize. If I have to go to the gym, I go; if I have to go to the pool, I gothese are the things I focus on the most, Ashok Sharma said in the media interaction from the Gujarat Titans base in Ahmedabad. Sharma said he is not gunning for the record for the fastest record in IPL history -- which is 157kmph clocked by Umran Malik while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. No, I don't have any such thoughts in my mindthat I need to break a record. Ive always maintained that I simply want to perform well for the team and play for India, said Ashok Sharma. Sharma has a great mentor in the form of former India pacer Ashish Nehra, the Gujarat Titans head coach. But Sharma said, both of his mentors have told him not to think of the speed record but rather to concentrate on following the process and honing his skills. Sharma, who has been with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals, for whom he was a bet bowler, before joining Gujarat Titans for Rs 90 lakh in the latest auction, does not depend on raw pace; he has a good back-of-hand slower delivery and a mean yorker. Sharma said these are his go-to deliveries. My 'back-of-the-hand' slower ball is quite effective, and I tend to take the most wickets using my slower ones and my yorkers, said the pacer who hails from Rampura, around 80km from Jaipur. His father, Nathulal, is a farmer, and Ashok is following in the footsteps of his brother Akshay, who put his aspirations on hold to help his brother live his cricket dream. Now, with success coming his way, Ashok is keeping himself grounded and says he is not getting carried away by fame. What is keeping him on the ground is the support from his family. As for my family, their perspective hasn't really changed at all. To them, I am the same person as before, and I remain the same person now. There isn't really any difference; they treat me the same way. Regarding friends and relatives, if someone is doing well, they go, 'Wow! Amazing!' But if someone isn't doing anything at the moment, theyll say things like, What is he even doing? Hes not doing anything at all!'that sort of attitude. As for supportwhatever support I can provide... whatever support people ask of meI am doing my best to provide it, said Sharma. Now, with success coming his way, Ashok is keeping himself grounded and says he is not getting carried away by fame. What is keeping him on the ground is the support from his family.

IPL 2026: 'It's Good To Be In That Position,' Says Sangakkara On RR's Unbeaten Run

Its nice to be in that position. You dont really plan for it. Its all to do with how well the team plays, and the team has been playing really well. Theyve been keeping things simple and trying to execute as well as possible. When you do that, results usually tend to go your way, he said in a video released by IPL on X. However, the former Sri Lanka captain underlined the strong competitive nature of the tournament and said that no team can be taken lightly. But the beauty of the IPL is every game is a big game. There are no weak teams. There are no teams that you can take for granted or take lightly. That is the power of the competition, he added. Sangakkara also dismissed the narrative around age, highlighting the importance of experience within the squad. I dont really think about age or young or old. Experience is a vital thing in cricket. We are very lucky to have that experience. Even the younger players, including our captain, have played in the IPL for many years, he noted. Speaking about the teams identity, Sangakkara made it clear that the Rajasthan Royals are committed to an aggressive brand of cricket. I dont really think about age or young or old.

IPL 2026: Father Gave Up RAS Preparation To Make Me A Cricketer, Reveals Mukul Choudhary
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: After being the toast of the IPL ecosystem by hitting an unbeaten 54 to help Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pull off a three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary has revealed that his father left his preparation for the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) to ensure that he becomes a cricketer. At the Eden Gardens, Choudhary struck an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, laced with seven sixes and two fours, and took LSG to a thrilling win after they had slumped to 128/7 and looked out of contention for a victory. Interestingly, Choudhary had pulled off an improbable chase for Rajasthan in similar fashion against Delhi in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It was my father's dream to play cricket at a big level, we come from a very poor family and he wanted someone from the family to play cricket. Nowadays, there is a lot of money and fame in cricket. Cricket is his favourite sport, but our family condition did not allow him to play cricket professionally. He had already made up his mind, even before he was married, that when he has a son, he has to make him play cricket. When I was young, our family situation was not strong and it was not possible for him to get me enrolled in a cricket academy. At that time, he also used to teach in a college and was preparing for RAS as well, then he understood that either he can prepare for Rajasthan Administrative Service or he can make me play cricket professionally. So, he left his Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) preparation, did some property work, earned some money, and when I turned 12 years old, he enrolled me in the SBS Cricket Academy in Sikar city for the first time, said Choudhary to JioHotstar. Choudhary, who now trains at the Aravali Cricket Club in Jaipur, also spoke about the difficulty of finding the right training ground in a state having limited cricketing infrastructure. The challenge was that I did not know anything about cricket before I started playing at a professional level. I had no cricket connection in my family. Nobody from our area was a cricket player. I did not know anything about the sport. I remember in 2015, It was my birthday that day and my father and I left in the morning to search for an academy. There were three districts nearby - Churu, Jhunjhunu and Sikar. We were looking for an academy in those three districts. At that time, SBS Cricket Academy in Sikar had just opened up. We saw it there and decided to take admission in that academy. It was a new academy and the people running the academy were very fond and passionate about cricket. So we found the right place to begin my cricket journey, he elaborated. I remember in 2015, It was my birthday that day and my father and I left in the morning to search for an academy.

IPL 2026: If We Get A Bit Of Momentum Going, Then All Goes Well, Says Glenn Phillips
Indian Premier League: The Gujarat Titans' batting all-rounder Glenn Phillips believes getting some momentum through their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against the Delhi Capitals will be key to turning around the teams fortunes in the ongoing season. GT, the IPL 2022 winners, have been winless so far, and a win in New Delhi will help them get off the mark on the points table. It's the same for me as it is for everyone else. We got ourselves into a very good position, the last game especially (against Rajasthan Royals). Obviously, we didn't finish off the things well, so for us it's all about backing our processes, staying well, and doing well. Today is a new day, and it's a long tournament - if we get a bit of momentum going, then all goes well, said Phillips in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. The New Zealand cricketer further stressed focusing only on controllable aspects and drawing motivation from the small wins he gets while playing games. For me, it's about staying focused on things that I can control. Cricket is a funny game. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said. Phillips also lauded GTs newly-appointed batting coach, Matthew Hayden, for his process-driven approach in guiding the batters. He has been fantastic. He was simply a process-driven player back in his day. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said.

IPL 2026: Gill Returns To Lead Gujarat Titans As Delhi Capitals Opt To Bowl First
Indian Premier League: Shubman Gill returned to lead the Gujarat Titans as Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. DC arrive for their first evening game at their home ground after winning back-to-back games, while GT, the IPL 2022 winners, get in to get off the mark on the points table. After winning the toss for the third straight time, Axar said his playing eleven is unchanged from their six-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians. We've chased well in the last two matches, and this is a fresh wicket. It's been raining; there could be some moisture. Obviously, we watch as many match-ups as possible, and we try to make it as difficult as possible for the batters to hit. I don't just use match-ups. According to the wicket, if any bowler gives me a good run, then I rotate him according to that. So far, in two matches, it's been good. I hope it continues, he said. Gill, meanwhile, said his neck is much better after a muscle spasm there led to him missing the game against the Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, which GT lost by six runs. Gill, who said the muscle spasm was similar to the injury he suffered in the Kolkata Test against South Africa last year, said he would have batted first anyway. With Gill coming in, Kumar Kushagra moves out of GTs playing eleven. If the weather stays this way, there'll be no dew in the second innings. I mean, it's all about assessing the conditions in the first couple of overs. I think we've been having some good opening partnerships with me and Sai (Sudharsan). So, hopefully, we have a good Power-play and then we can post some good totals along the board. It's all about clicking in that one game. Even in the last game, we came pretty close, losing by not that many runs. Its just one guy sticking till the end, whether someone from the middle order or from the top order, and maybe today is the day, he said. Pitch number five is being used for Wednesdays clash, which means the square boundaries are equidistant, while the straight boundary stands at 73m. Kevin Pietersen and Daren Ganga observed that theres less grass cover on the pitch, and its lighter colours mean it may be a dry wicket, but still conducive for making big runs.

IPL 2026: 'Mumbai Indians Were Already Behind The Game Within First Few Overs,' Says Chawla
Indian Premier League: Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) were already behind in the game from the start of their chase against Rajasthan Royals (RCB) in their third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday as they lost early wickets which increased the pressure. Mumbai Indians had a poor start, losing three important wickets in just the first three overs while chasing 151 runs in an 11-over rain-affected match. Chawla said that the early blows made the chase very difficult. Rajasthan Royals looked ready from the start, especially in the Powerplay. Their batting gave them a strong start. With the ball, Jofra Archer bowled really well, and Nandre Burger picked up key wickets. When you are chasing 150 in 11 overs and lose three wickets for around 20 runs, it becomes very hard. Mumbai Indians were already behind in the first few overs, Chawla told Jio Hotstar. He also praised Yashasvi Jaiswal for his unbeaten 77 runs, which gave Rajasthan a strong start. Sometimes a player feels very confident against a certain team. Jaiswal looked comfortable from the beginning and played with confidence. Scoring 77 runs in an 11-over match shows how impactful he was, he added. Chawla also appreciated 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his fearless batting against a strong Mumbai bowling attack.

Hes Instilled Fear Into Bowlers: Steyn On Vaibhav's Heroics Against Bumrah
Former South Africa: Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn believes that the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has already begun to create a psychological edge over bowlers, even forcing the likes of Jasprit Bumrah into rare errors. Steyn pointed to the moment when Sooryavanshi launched Bumrah over mid-on off the very first ball in the Rajasthan Royals clash against the Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, suggesting that the youngsters aggressive reputation is already influencing how bowlers approach him. I think that's what he's done. I mean, honestly, he's created and instilled the fear into bowlers that he's going to hit you for boundaries, Steyn told ESPNCricinfo. Highlighting the influence of Sooryavanshi, Steyn added that even the premier Indian pacer, Bumrah, appeared to be second-guessing himself and missed his mark, which is very rare for a bowler of his calibre. That delivery from Bumrah, that's in the slot. That's so rare of Bumrah. So even the great Bumrah is thinking in the back of his mind: don't get it wrong, because if I get it wrong, this guy's going to hit me for six, he said. I feel, if you think like that, more often than not, you do get it wrong. You can see even when he's hit him for six, he almost started to laugh afterwards and then go, I knew that was going to happen if I got it wrong. And that's exactly what happened, he explained. Steyn believes that Sooryavanshi is not scared of anyone, and his fearless intent makes him dangerous regardless of the bowlers stature. And this kid's not scared, man. If you miss a half-volley, he's going to hit you out of the ground. So drag your length back and hit a good length, and you might be on the money with him. Miss and you're travelling the distance. It doesn't matter who you are, Bumrah or Joe Average. So that's fantastic batting, he added. Steyn believes that Sooryavanshi is not scared of anyone, and his fearless intent makes him dangerous regardless of the bowlers stature.

After the match, Jaiswal said it was exciting to watch Vaibhav take on Bumrah, who he called one of the legends of the game. He also said that Vaibhavs attacking start helped ease the pressure on him. I think first ball he hit for six and I was just like, just keep playing your shots because of course Bumrah bhai is one of the legends, so if he is scoring him it is amazing and also other bowlers we can take them down, so it was quite good for him to go and play good shots. Especially with that, it also puts off me with a lot pressure, so I can also plan to take on someone else, Jaiswal told reporters after the match. Jaiswal, who remained unbeaten on 77, added that he enjoys batting with Vaibhav. He said both of them keep encouraging each other and try to stay positive at the crease.

Sooryavanshi Makes It Look Easy Against One Of The 'worlds Best Bowlers' Bumrah: Kumble
Former India: Former India captain Anil Kumble lauded Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's fearless approach against India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in a win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in a rain-curtailed IPL 2026 clash, saying the teenager makes it look easy against one of the worlds best bowlers. RR rode on an explosive 80-run opening stand between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi to beat MI by 27 runs in a rain-curtailed match at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday and registered their third straight victory of the IPL 2026 campaign. Jaiswal began the innings with a bang as he hit Deepak Chahar for four boundaries and a maximum to extract 22 runs off the very first over. Sooryavanshi then welcomed Bumrah to the attack by dispatching the ball over mid-on. Two balls later, the ball disappeared over deep square leg as the hosts posted a daunting 150. Kumble singled out Sooryavanshis audacious strokeplay in the powerplay and his calculated assault on Bumrah, as a defining moment in the match. Sooryavanshi makes it look easy against one of the worlds best bowlers. First ball, he hits him for a six and then sets him up. He set the bowler up, not the other way around. Weve generally seen Bumrah set up batters so many times, but here, Sooryavanshi set Bumrah up to bowl that slower ball on the third delivery, and he was waiting for it to hit him for another six, Kumble told JioStar. It was brilliant batting by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, just the way he strikes the ball and the consistency he has shown in terms of strike-rate. He is striking at close to 300 in every game and scoring more than 30 runs consistently, which is outstanding, he added. In response, MI's innings stuttered to 123/9 in the allotted 11 overs as all five RR bowlers used on the night registered in the wickets column. Assessing MIs chase, Kumble pointed to a lack of clarity and intensity, both with the ball and during the pursuit of a steep target. It was brilliant batting by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, just the way he strikes the ball and the consistency he has shown in terms of strike-rate.

Chasing a massive target of 151, the Mumbai Indians suffered a top-order collapse, were reduced to 46/5 before ending their 11 overs at 123/9, losing by 27 runs. Pandya said the bowlers failed to do their job properly, allowing too many sixes in the first few overs. We did not execute the deliveries we were supposed to. They (RR openers) played well. Bowlers need to take responsibility. As a bowling group, we were not up to the mark. They (RR openers) also played tremendously, said Pandya in the post-match presentation. Pandya said he would not blame his batters for not scoring enough runs in the Power-play. I would not put the blame on batting. Definitely the bowling unit, which had to take responsibility.
