How the CSK vs SRH rivalry has swung
Most of Chennai’s lead was built in two seasons. They won both games in 2013 and all 4 meetings in 2018, the year they beat Sunrisers in the final at the Wankhede on 27 May 2018. They also won both games in 2021.
Outside those years the series has been close, with plenty of 1-1 splits. Since 2024 it has belonged to Sunrisers: they have won four of the last five, losing only the 78 run defeat at Chennai on 28 Apr 2024. Both 2026 games went their way, by 10 runs at Hyderabad and by 5 wickets at Chennai.
