DC vs CSK IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings are two teams firmly in the middle of the Points Table just below the Playoffs cut-off with 8 points each in 7th and 6th place respectively. The winner of Monday night’s match no. 48 between DC and CSK will firmly keep the victors in the race to make the Playoffs as five teams ahead of them are only 5 points ahead of them.
Both DC and CSK are heading into the clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi with impressive wins under their belt against Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians respectively. Axar Patel’s DC, however, have a very poor record at home with three losses in their four matches so far – including the humiliation of being bowled out for only 75 last month.
“We don’t have any other option but to win. Obviously, we play every match to win, but now the relaxed mode is over. If you want to qualify, you have to win all the matches,” DC bowling coach Munaf Patel said about the must-win situation for the team ahead of match against CSK.
“Confidence always comes from winning. You cannot build confidence by losing matches,” Munaf added.
The visitors will bank on the success of pacer Anshul Kamboj, who is currently joint highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets in 9 matches along with Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
“Anshul went away. Anshul you see today is not this season, he started last year. The things that we worked on, he went into the domestic season and worked on different angles of approach to the crease to be more accurate with his yorkers in particular. We’ve introduced round the wicket, which is no secret now,” CSK bowling coach Eric Simons said about Kamboj on Monday.
CSK hold a massive edge in head-to-head record over DC with 20 wins as compared to only 12 losses so far. Even at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Chennai have 6 wins to their name as compared to only 2 defeats.
