It is a battle of pride in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 today, with five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 22 of the season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss for the match and invited Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK to bat first.
Both teams are at the bottom of the table, with CSK sitting in the number 9 spot with just one win, while KKR are at the bottom of the points table, still searching for their first win of the season.
Despite winning their last match, CSK will have some pressure going into the game in search of their second consecutive win. The last time CSK won two back-to-back games in IPL was two years ago on April 14 when they beat KKR and MI in IPL 2024.
The five-time champions looked perfectly settled in their last game. However, the form of their skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and spinners will still be a point of concern for them. On the other hand, KKR are still struggling with their bowling combination; on top of that, only skipper Rahane and youngster Raghuvanshi have been able to deliver with the bat.
While both teams are almost at the same level at the moment, home side CSK will be the favourite walking into the game.
