IPL 2026: CSK faces DC, opener woes persist
11 Apr
Summary
- Chennai Super Kings seeking first win after three losses.
- Dewald Brevis expected to return for CSK against Delhi Capitals.
- Delhi Capitals eager to rebound after a narrow one-run defeat.

Chennai Super Kings face a critical juncture in IPL 2026 as they host Delhi Capitals on April 11, still chasing their inaugural victory after three consecutive losses. The team's performance has been uninspiring, with substantial improvements needed in both batting and bowling to compete effectively.
The return of Dewald Brevis from injury is anticipated for this home fixture at Chepauk, potentially bolstering the CSK lineup. However, the uncertain status of M S Dhoni, who has yet to play this season due to a calf injury, remains a concern for the veteran side.
CSK's opening duo, Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad, face mounting pressure to deliver, as does the bowling unit, which conceded 250 runs in their last match. Delhi Capitals, captained by Axar Patel, are motivated to secure a win after a heart-breaking one-run loss to Gujarat Titans, aiming to worsen Chennai's current predicament.
The match will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar. The game commences at 7:30 PM IST at Chepauk Stadium.
