Ishan Kishan vs CSK in IPL 2026 [Source: screengrab]
Ishan Kishan got SRH off to a flier against the CSK in match number 63 of the IPL 2026 season. Batting at number three and arriving to the crease in just the third over of the run chase, Ishan started off cautiously before breaking the shackles with a huge six off CSK’s most successful bowler of the tournament, Anshul Kamboj.
The blistering left-hander also blazed the ‘Orange Army’ past the 100-run mark alongside fellow hard-hitting Heinrich Klaasen.
Notably, Kishan’s first six of the evening also damaged the big screen of the iconic Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
