Top Run Scorers in SRH vs CSK Matches
MS Dhoni leads CSK’s batting chart in this fixture, and his numbers at a finisher’s position make them even more impressive.
| Batter | Team | Innings | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS Dhoni | CSK | 22 | 403 | 54.50 | 150.34 | 67* |
| Suresh Raina | CSK | 15 | 334 | 36.16 | 142.76 | 99* |
| David Warner | SRH | 9 | 405 | 45.00 | 142.60 | 90 |
| Kane Williamson | SRH | 12 | 178 | 41.70 | 132.80 | 44 |
Dhoni’s 403 runs at 54.50 in this fixture are a number that belongs to a different conversation. He bats at six or seven and still leads CSK’s chart. Raina’s 99* is the highest individual score for CSK in this matchup.
Warner leads SRH with 405 runs, but at a lower average than Dhoni, and his departure from the franchise has left a visible gap in SRH’s batting in this fixture ever since.
Top Wicket Takers in SRH vs CSK Matches
Bravo has been the most consistent wicket-taker in this fixture by a significant margin.
| Bowler | Team | Innings | Wickets | Economy | Average | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJ Bravo | CSK | 14 | 20 | 8.08 | 21.30 | 3/25 |

| Deepak Chahar | CSK | 12 | 10 | 7.10 | 31.40 | 3/15 |
Bravo’s 20 wickets from 14 innings are the standout number on this list.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has bowled 17 innings in this fixture and taken just 11 wickets at 40.00, which shows how well CSK’s batters have handled him.
Rashid Khan’s economy of 6.87 across 10 innings is the tightest on the list, but even he has not been able to consistently swing results SRH’s way.

Conclusion: 23 Matches, 12 Seasons, CSK Lead the SRH vs CSK Rivalry 16-7
Chennai Super Kings lead the SRH vs CSK head-to-head 16-7, and there is no particular sign of that gap closing any time soon.
The 2018 season, in which CSK won all four meetings, remains the defining stretch of this rivalry. Dhoni’s 403 runs, Bravo’s 20 wickets, and CSK’s consistent ability to outscore SRH by an average of 10 runs per match are the three things that best explain why this record looks the way it does.
SRH have had their moments, the 78-run win in 2022 and back-to-back wins in 2024 and 2025, but not enough of them to make this rivalry feel even remotely level.
