Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match No. 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This reverse fixture promises to be an exciting contest, especially after CSK’s 23-run victory in their previous meeting. Currently placed sixth on the points table with four wins from nine matches, CSK will be looking to replicate that performance and complete a double over DC.
Here is Chennai Super Kings’ strongest predicted XI vs Delhi Capitals:
Top Order: Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), Urvil Patel
CSK openers have not contributed consistently as a pair, but individually they have delivered for the team. Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has scored 315 runs in nine innings, while captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has led from the front with two back-to-back fifties and 245 runs in nine matches. Meanwhile, Urvil Patel has played two games so far and has been impressive, scoring at a strike rate of 186.66.
