CSK vs KKR: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 22 of IPL 2026

The CSK vs KKR match of the IPL 2026 will be played in Chennai on Tuesday.

Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are ranked at the bottom of the points table after the first two weeks of the IPL 2026. Now, these two teams will face each other in the next game on Tuesday. This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST at Chepauk Stadium.

CSK had three defeats at the start of the season. But it was followed by an improved performance against the Delhi Capitals. Sanju Samson hit a century and led the team to win. But KKR have not been that lucky to witness such special effort from their players.

However, you never know; this could be the game for them. Both sides have several T20 superstars, and we might also see MS Dhoni playing his first game of the season.

Hence, we have suggested five players from the CSK vs KKR clash who could be a perfect choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the CSK vs KKR clash

1. Sanju Samson

After three low scores, Sanju Samson finally broke through with a fantastic century. He scored 115 not out off just 56 balls, at a strike rate of 205.36. He showed his good form, which helped India to win the T20 World Cup 2026.

This knock must make him feel good, and he is expected to deliver another master class on Tuesday. Hence, he can be a very good pick on fantasy platforms.

2. Finn Allen

Finn Allen had a great T20 World Cup 2026 with the bat. But he hasn’t started the IPL 2026 as well as he would have liked. He had a couple of good cameos, but a big innings is due. We might see it in Chennai.

Finn is very dangerous and needs only 20-odd deliveries to change the game. So, you can’t drop him from your Dream11 team.

3. Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Only Angkrish Raghuvanshi has looked good for KKR in the IPL 2026. In three completed innings, he has scored 51, 52, and 45. This is an excellent consistency for a 21-year-old.

He plays well against pace and spin and has a variety of shots to tackle the bowlers. He is also KKR’s keeper, which is another reason to pick him for your Dream11 team.

4. Ayush Mhatre

Ayush Mhatre has been another key batter for CSK. He has scored two half-centuries in four matches, and in the other two innings, he faced fewer than five balls.

He has been in good form at the domestic level as well, and being a top-order batter, he gets a chance to face more balls. Ayush will like KKR’s struggling bowling unit and can take advantage of it.

5. Ruturaj Gaikwad

The CSK captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, needs no introduction. Since his debut, he has scored the most runs for CSK in the IPL. Being a captain, he is expected to deliver another good knock here.

He has failed in recent matches but has had good starts. He is trying too hard, but we know the quality of this player. He can’t be written off at any stage, especially when you are making a Dream11 team.
