🏏IPL 2026: CSK vs SRH, 63rd Match, at Chennai on 18/05/2026🏏 - Page 51

That’s a competitive total from Chennai Super Kings in this must-win clash at Chepauk. Sanju Samson provided early momentum in the powerplay before falling, while Ruturaj Gaikwad endured a scratchy outing, struggling to find the fence and never really settling in. Urvil Patel smashed a couple into the stands but found the slower balls difficult to handle and eventually fell to Sakib Hussain’s clever off-cutter. Kartik Sharma chipped in with a handy cameo before Pat Cummins dismissed him during an impressive spell. The SRH captain finished with three wickets and kept things tight for most of the innings despite an expensive final over. Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube stitched together a vital 59-run stand for the fifth wicket to steady CSK and push them to a fighting total. SRH possess a formidable batting line-up, but CSK’s bowlers have been in solid rhythm this season. An intriguing chase is on the cards.

I have nothing against him as a captain.

I won't have even said anything if he wasn't spoiling our PP for 13 consecutive matches and still not leaving the opening slot.

This what annoyed me

Come at no.3 or 4
