CSK vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 22, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 22 of the IPL 2026 between CSK vs KKR to be played in Chennai.

Sanju Samson became the first batter to score a century in the IPL 2026. He scored an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls against DC and took CSK to their first win of the season. Though there were still some areas of concern, a win must have filled the team with some confidence.

CSK will now face the Kolkata Knight Riders in a home game. This contest will be held at Chepauk Stadium on April 14 at 7:30 PM IST. KKR are coming with bad form and are the only team without a win this season.

Ajinkya Rahane and co. are struggling in both aspects of the game. Their bowling unit has been weakened after several players were injured, and only Angkrish Raghuvanshi has looked in control with the bat. Can KKR find some motivation for this game before it gets too late for them?

CSK vs KKR: Pitch Report

The wicket at Chennai has been very good for batting. In the last few seasons, this wicket has helped the batsmen a lot. This season only, the first-innings scores are 209 and 212 in two matches played so far.

For the bowlers, hitting the hard length will be key. Spinners will get very minimal help with the old ball. The second innings will be more ideal to bat on, because of the dew.

CSK vs KKR: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

KKR were hit by injuries to their 2-3 first-choice fast bowlers. Then, their spinners aren’t performing at all. That is why they are struggling this season. CSK have also not looked at their best, but they are better than KKR. Hence, we back CSK to win this home game.
