With RCB and GT almost through and SRH holding a strong advantage, the IPL 2026 playoff race has narrowed to a tense battle between Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, while DC and KKR remain mathematically alive with fading hopes.

After back-to-back ducks, Virat Kohli silenced doubts with a stunning unbeaten 105 off 60 balls against KKR in IPL 2026. His 9th IPL century powered RCB to the top of the table.

IPL 2026 is redefining T20 cricket, where even 220+ totals are no longer safe. With record chases, deeper batting lineups, and fearless intent, teams are rewriting the rules of scoring and turning every target into a starting point rather than a winning score.

There are fixtures that need no introduction. But this edition of the CSK vs MI El Clasico arrives carrying something neither fanbase is comfortable with. That something is desperation.

Two days ago at the same ground, Delhi Capitals posted 264 and the whole of cricket was talking about them. On Monday night, they were all out for 75.

Neither could anyone else.
