Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in search of a reset in their IPL 2026 campaign, focusing on improving their opening partnerships led by Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain). Their recent scores of 14, 14, and 9 highlight the need for a stronger start to support the middle order, particularly Shivam Dube and newcomer Dewald Brevis. Sarfaraz Khan has emerged as a bright spot for CSK, scoring 99 runs in three innings at a remarkable strike rate of 202. Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals (DC) are also facing challenges, with David Miller's performance under scrutiny. CSK will need to capitalize on their strengths, especially with bowlers like Lungi Ngidi, who has an impressive economy rate of 5.5 in the death overs. The upcoming match against DC will be crucial for both teams as they look to turn their fortunes around in the tournament.
