These ratings combine final squad depth with form from IPL 2026<\/strong><\/a>‘s opening three rounds. Teams are assessed on four criteria: bowling depth, batting floor, squad continuity from 2025, and early 2026 results.<\/p>\n

Teams are ranked from 10 (weakest) to 1 (strongest title candidate). Grades run from D to A+. Several grades differ from pre-season expectations.<\/p>\n

10. CSK \u2013 bottom risk | Grade: D<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanju Samson is CSK<\/a>\u2019s key acquisition, providing wicketkeeping and finishing ability. However, the departure of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran removes balance in both spin and seam bowling.<\/p>\n

Ruturaj Gaikwad leads the batting, but MS Dhoni\u2019s injury weakens finishing options.<\/p>\n

CSK finished with 4 wins in IPL 2025 and are 0\u20132 in 2026. They conceded 250 for 3 against RCB, exposing the lack of reliable death bowling. The batting can win matches, but bowling limitations remain a major concern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
