CSK vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Chennai Super Kings look to double points tally vs Kolkata Knight Riders but will MS Dhoni play

CSK vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026, Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders​ Cricket Match: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will be desperate to notch up their first win of the season after they take on Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday. CSK finally got off the mark in the IPL 2026 season with a win over Delhi Capitals at home on Saturday after three successive losses.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side will now like to double their points tally as they take on bottom-placed KKR at home. But the question on every CSK fan’s mind is whether former captain MS Dhoni will finally make his first appearance in the season.

Dhoni has been sidelined for the first two weeks of the tournament due to a calf-strain. But while the former India captain has been seen in training with CSK in Chennai for the last couple of days, he didn’t do any wicketkeeping training with the side now did he have a long batting stint in the nets. It is unlikely that Dhoni will be rushed into action in the IPL 2026 season anytime soon.

KKR, on the other hand, could bring back ‘hometown’ hero Varun Chakravarthy for the clash at his homeground after the world No. 1 T20I bowler missed the last two matches due to finger injury. CSK, though, enjoy a massive edge in head-to-head contests against KKR with 20 wins as compared to 11 losses in 32 matches so far.
