India, May 18 -- Chennai Super Kings return home after a disheartening defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. The five-time champions are set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next IPL 2026 match, to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk on Monday. CSK must win the home fixture to stay alive in the playoff race, with one more game left in the league stage.

After Royal Challengers Bengaluru thumped Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals lost to Delhi Capitals, CSK can now fancy their chances by winning the remaining games. The Yellow Army are fifth in the IPL 2026 points table, just one point behind PBKS. If CSK can overcome SRH, they will reach the top four for the first time this season.
