CSK vs DC Live streaming details: Where to watch today's IPL 2026 match?

A high-stakes encounter is set as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match No. 18 of IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai tonight.

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel has won the toss and elected to field first on the night.  Both skippers after the toss:  Axar: We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control, once we reach a certain point, there’s no need to overthink things. So that’s been the mindset, control what’s in our hands. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost all bases covered. Obviously, based on the options we had, I think we’ve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced and hopefully, we perform well today. As for the surface, it has been a good batting wicket this season. Over the last couple of years in Chennai, it has played well. It’s a red soil pitch, so there should be good bounce. Our aim will be to restrict them to as low a total as possible and then chase it down. There are two changes. Nabi comes in for Vipraj, and Ashutosh Sharma replaces Nitish Rana.  Ruturaj: The pitch does look a bit on the drier side. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but it’s good to back ourselves. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get that first win and get on the points table. That’s what we’ve been trying over the last couple of games as well. Like I mentioned in the press conference, we’ve been improving in all departments. The batting has been doing really well, it’s just a few key moments where we’ve missed out, and those are the areas we need to capitalise on. But overall, everyone is in a good space and really eager to go. When you look at the balance of the side, we are definitely playing to our potential. It’s great to have Brevis back, he’s excited and ready. The middle order looks solid as well. We’ve also brought in Gurjapneet Singh, who has been bowling well recently, in place of Matt Edwards. For those asking about MS Dhoni, he’s at the hotel watching and supporting us. But yes, very soon, you’ll see him out on the ground.

 

CSK have had a difficult start to the season, failing to register a single win in their first three matches. The five-time champions began their campaign with a defeat to Rajasthan Royals, followed by another setback against Punjab Kings, and most recently fell short against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With pressure mounting, CSK will be eager to bounce back and secure their first victory, especially in front of their home supporters at Chepauk.

 

 

In contrast, Delhi Capitals have looked in strong form and appear to be a well-settled side this season. They opened their campaign with back-to-back wins over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, displaying a solid balance between their batting and bowling departments. However, their momentum was halted in their last outing, where they narrowly lost to Gujarat Titans by just one run, a result that they will be keen to move past quickly.
