SRH vs CSK IPL 2026: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings will look to continue their winning run in the IPL 2026 as they head to Sunrisers Hyderabad home for match No. 27 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday. Both SRH and CSK have identical 4 points each from 5 matches with Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side only trailing due to their poor net run-rate.
CSK started off the IPL 2026 season with three successive losses but have bounced back with back-to-back wins over Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. SRH, on the other hand, hand have had a roller-coaster season but are heading into this home game with a win over high-flying Rajasthan Royals at home earlier this week.
Kavya Maran’s side have been severely affected by injuries starting from one to their skipper Pat Cummins apart from bowlers Brydon Carse and David Payne. Sri Lanka pacer Dilshan Madushanka has already joined the side as replacement for Carse and could be called up for the fixture against CSK.
“He’s flying today, so he will be with us, I think, this evening. The plan is for the 25th (of April),” SRH coach Daniel Vettori said about Cummins in the pre-match press conference in Hyderabad on Friday.
SRH will be pleased with the likes of youngsters Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who stepped up brilliantly in the absence of Cummins in the last game against the Royals, claiming 5 wickets each.
The visitors are also dealing with share of injuries with former skipper MS Dhoni still uncertain while left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed has been ruled out for the season too. CSK enjoy a healthy advantage in head-to-head clashes against SRH historically with 15 wins and 7 losses but the hosts have better record in Hyderabad with 3 wins as compared to 2 defeats.
