Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Chennai Super Kings in a high-stakes IPL 2026 encounter on Sunday, and the biggest talking point is whether MS Dhoni will finally don the CSK jersey again. The visitors, looking to extend their momentum, are targeting a third consecutive victory after a slow start to the campaign. Ruturaj Gaikwad and his group have gained traction in recent games, with performances from Sanju Samson adding a significant spark. For SRH, led by Ishan Kishan, the season has swung between strong spells and tough setbacks, but they arrive with renewed energy, inspired by the striking debut showings of young pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain.
