CSK Out of IPL 2026: Bowlers Conceded More Runs Than the Batsmen Scored This Is the Major Reason Behind Chennai Super Kings’ Downfall. CSK out of IPL 2026: Bowlers scored more runs than batsmen, this is the big reason for the split base of Chennai Super Kings.

The IPL 2026 season was very disappointing for 5-time IPL champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This is the third consecutive time that the Yellow Army has been out of the race for the playoffs. The Chennai team, which is going through a change under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad after Mahendra Singh Dhoni, did not appear as a balanced unit this year.

Even though some young players performed well for CSK this season, in the end the team’s bowlers’ directionless bowling and habit of giving away a lot of runs ruined all the hard work of the batsmen. There is a saying in cricket that when the main bowlers of a team give away more runs than its top batsmen, then that team’s fortunes are sure to sink; Exactly the same thing happened with Chennai this season.

Sanju Samson created a stir, Gaikwad flopped (Top Batsmen for CSK)

The performance of Chennai batsmen was mixed this season. Only two batsmen from the team were able to leave their mark to some extent:

• Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson was the biggest positive point for Chennai this season. He played in 14 matches average of 43.36 And Excellent strike rate of 165.62 the most from 477 runs Make. During this period, he also scored 2 centuries and 1 half-century.

• Ruturaj Gaikwad: Captain Gaikwad did not appear to be in his old form this season. He appeared in only 14 matches. 337 runs Could only make it and remained at second place.

Batting Unit Failure: Apart from Sanju and Ruturaj, no other batsman of Chennai Super Kings could cross the 300-run mark in this entire season. However, new batsmen like Karthik Sharma and Urvil Patel definitely showed their shine in some matches.

‘Shameful’ record of bowlers: gave away more runs than batsmen

The real story of Chennai’s exit from the tournament was written by its bowling unit. The main bowlers of the team took wickets, but gave so many runs in return that the opposition teams managed to score big in every match.

1. Anshul Kamboj – Villain became ‘number-1’ bowler

Anshul Kamboj in this season 21 wickets Laker was the most successful bowler of CSK. But the other side of the coin is that he alone gave away 530 runs. Kamboj has become the first bowler to concede more than 500 runs in IPL 2026. His expenditure is more than the total runs (477) of the team’s best batsman Sanju Samson.

• Poor performance in last matches: Kamboj has given more than 40 runs in the last 5 matches of CSK, which includes the unwanted record of giving more than 50 runs in one match and more than 60 runs in another match.

2. Noor Ahmed – Mystery spinner who proved expensive

Afghanistan’s mystery spinner Noor Ahmed played all 14 matches for Chennai and took 13 wickets. But like Kamboj, Noor also completely failed to control the runs and he did not play well throughout the season. 428 runs Spend it.
