R Ashwin is among the players Chennai Super Kings can release before IPL 2026. The franchise spent a huge sum on the senior spinner but he hasn't been able to live up to the expectations. Ashwin has only managed 5 wickets in 7 matches.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) outgunned Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chinnaswamy yet again, defending 213 on a flat pitch in a wildly see-sawing classic. It came down to Yash Dayal vs MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja once again.

Mhatre smashed a 48-ball 94 against RCB, becoming the third-youngest player to score a fifty in the IPL at 17 years and 292 days
