In search of their first win of the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League, five-time champions Chennai Super Kings will face Delhi Capitals in their fourth league match on Saturday, April 11. The match between DC and CSK is scheduled to take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Chennai-based team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad suffered a defeat by 43 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last IPL 2026 match played on April 5. They had earlier suffered crushing defeats against Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are also coming into Saturday’s away game after going down by 1 run against Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The excellent news for CSK ahead of Saturday’s IPL 2026 match
is the return of Dewald Brevis. The South African cricketer is all set to be available for selection against DC, but MS Dhoni will remain on the sidelines. As for Delhi, they will continue to miss Australian speedster Mitchell Starc. Starc is dealing with an injury and is yet to arrive in India for the ongoing edition of the world’s richest franchise cricket league.
