Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Standings

Twenty-two IPL matches. Two very different styles of cricket. And a rivalry that keeps throwing up surprises.

When most people search for the Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad standings, they want one clean answer: who leads? Chennai do, 15 wins to 7.

But if you stop there, you miss the full picture. Because SRH have been tightening this contest in recent seasons, and their breakthrough win at Chepauk in 2025 proved this matchup still has plenty of life left.

Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Standings

Here is everything you need, from the full H2H table to the players who have made the biggest difference.

What Do the Overall Standings Look Like?

Across all IPL editions from 2013 to 2025, CSK and SRH have met 22 times. CSK holds a clear lead.

CSK’s 223/3 came in the very first match between these sides, in Hyderabad in April 2013. Their lowest, 132/5, came six years later at the same venue.

SRH’s 179/6 was set at Pune in 2018. Their worst batting effort was 134 all out at Chepauk in 2024, the same game where Ruturaj Gaikwad made 98 off 54 balls.

One number stands out from the rest: zero no results. Every single meeting between these two sides has produced a winner.

CSK vs SRH H2H: All Results by Season

Quick note on gaps: CSK was suspended from the IPL in 2016 and 2017 following the 2013 betting case. SRH itself only entered the league in 2013 as a replacement for Deccan Chargers, so this rivalry has no history before that year.

Home and Away: Where Does Each Team Have the Edge?

CSK at Chepauk vs SRH

This is where CSK have historically owned this rivalry. Before 2025, they had won all five home games against SRH at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. That record finally changed on April 25, 2025, when Harshal Patel’s 4/28 restricted CSK to 154 and Kamindu Mendis finished off the chase.

Current record at Chepauk: CSK 5 wins, SRH 1 win.

SRH at Home vs CSK

Hyderabad is less of a fortress in this matchup. SRH have won 3 of 5 games at home against CSK, including a 6-wicket win in 2024. But CSK have also gone to Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and won, including their first meeting there in 2013 where they posted 223/3.

Current record in Hyderabad: SRH 3 wins, CSK 2 wins.

The 2018 Season: CSK’s Perfect Run Against SRH

No single season defines this rivalry more than 2018.

CSK came back from a two-year suspension and did not just reach the final.

They beat SRH four times in the same season, a clean sweep that had never been done to the same opponent before in IPL history.

Two league wins. A Qualifier 1 win. And the final itself.

In that IPL 2018 Final at the Wankhede, SRH posted 178/6 under Kane Williamson’s captaincy. It looked competitive. Then Shane Watson walked out.

What followed was 117 not out off 57 balls. Eleven fours, four sixes, and a bleeding knee that Watson refused to acknowledge.

Ambati Rayudu hit the winning runs as CSK finished on 181/2, winning with 9 balls to spare. Watson’s knock remains the highest individual score in an IPL final.

IPL 2025: The Match That Changed Things at Chepauk

Both teams came into this game low on the IPL 2025 points table. Neither side had been playing its best cricket.

But on April 25, the date that also marked the 12th anniversary of the very first CSK vs SRH match, something shifted.

Harshal Patel bowled with control and aggression, taking 4/28 on a slow Chepauk surface. CSK were bundled out for 154. It was not enough.

SRH’s chase was far from comfortable. They were 106/5 when it looked like CSK might defend the total.

Then Kamindu Mendis and Nitish Kumar Reddy put on an unbeaten 49-run stand. Mendis finished on 32 not out off 22 balls. SRH won by 5 wickets with 8 balls to spare.

Their first-ever win in Chennai. After five straight losses at Chepauk. On the same calendar date as the rivalry’s first game. Cricket’s timing can be strange sometimes.

Top Run-Scorers in CSK vs SRH Matches

Suresh Raina leads with 434 runs. His middle-order acceleration was a constant problem for SRH bowlers.

MS Dhoni sits just behind with 430 at an extraordinary average of 61.42. Against SRH, especially, Dhoni had a habit of walking in under pressure and walking out with the win.

Kane Williamson and David Warner built many of SRH’s best totals in this fixture. Among players still active, Ruturaj Gaikwad at 394 runs is closing in fast on the all-time leaders.

Top Wicket-Takers in CSK vs SRH Matches

Dwayne Bravo’s 20 wickets are a number that needs context: the next highest is 11.

Bravo was almost unplayable at the death in this fixture across multiple seasons.

His ability to bowl yorkers under pressure made him CSK’s most dangerous bowler against SRH.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads SRH’s list with 11 wickets, built on swing in the powerplay.

Rashid Khan and T Natarajan both sit on 10, giving SRH very different threats at either end.

Harshal Patel’s 4/28 in 2025 is the best single-game bowling performance in recent editions of this rivalry.

Conclusion:

The Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad standings sit at 15-7 in CSK’s favour after 22 IPL matches.

Chennai has won the only final between these teams, dominated at Chepauk, and produced the biggest margins of victory on both sides of the rivalry in the same fixture (78 runs in 2024 and 2013).

SRH’s trajectory matters, though. Young batters like Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Kumar Reddy, a sharper bowling attack, and their 2025 Chepauk win suggest the gap is narrowing.

IPL 2026 will add another layer to one of the IPL’s most consistently interesting matchups.
