Chennai Super Kings will square off against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Tuesday in the 22nd match of IPL 2026. While CSK registered their maiden win in the last game against Delhi Capitals, KKR is still looking for their first victory of the season.
Sanju Samson scored a fantastic knock of 115 runs and his return to form is a huge positive for CSK. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad would also want to get back amongst the runs to get his confidence back.
On the other hand, KKR would need to come up with an improved performance, especially with the ball.
