IPL Today Match 2026, CSK vs DC Match Date, Time, Venue, Playing 11 Prediction: Having lost all their three games in the Indian Premier League’s 2026 season, Chennai Super Kings will be hoping to get the ticker started on their win column with a victory over the Delhi Capitals. In sharp contrast to Chennai, Delhi come into the game with two wins out of their three games so far in IPL 2026.
There are still question marks over team talisman and former captain MS Dhoni since he has been sitting out of games so far due to an injury. Reports had suggested that he was supposed to undergo a fitness test before the game, and if cleared, he could take the field at Chepauk. Another player who could feature is ’s Dewald Brevis, who was also said to be nearing full fitness.

Chennai Super Kings predicted XII: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, Dewald Brevis, , Prashant Veer, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, , Anshul Kamboj, Matt Henry
Delhi Capitals predicted XII: (wk), Pathum Nissanka, , Sameer Rizvi, (c), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, ,Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar
This will be the second home game in Chennai for the Chennai Super Kings. In the first game, the team had lost despite scoring 209 in the first innings with chasing the target down with eight balls remaining. If the first game and history are any indicators, expect a high-scoring encounter in Chepauk since the surface in the ground has been favourable to batters.
Gone are the days when the Chepauk was a spin-friendly fortress, a venue where CSK’s synchronized spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin choked batters on slow, turning tracks. These days, the ball comes onto the bat nicely, and strokeplay is easy.
India scored 254 against Zimbabwe here in a T20 World Cup match at Chepauk not too far ago.
The weather in the city on Saturday will see temperatures around 28 degree Celsius. But rain is not expected to make an appearance in Chennai.
