CSK vs DC Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings came into this IPL season with a strange selection of players and that seems to be really backfiring on them. Players like Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, and R Ashwin were picked up in the auction even though they have been let go by almost all of their previous franchises. Even Vijay Shankar was a strange selection and not someone seen as in the current top-tier of T20 players.

Now you add Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni to the lineup and you have a team that seems completely out of touch with the modern game. Jadeja was never a great T20 player and MS Dhoni is simply past his best, although still quite good.

The team's batting is too heavily reliant on Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Those two can win matches on their own, but if they fall, CSK looks vulnerable. The use of Shivam Dube as a six-hitting option to take down spin will be very crucial in this match.

CSK's bowling is excellent, though. Khaleel Ahmed has done very well with the new ball and Jamie Overton can certainly hold his own also. Noor AHmad has been the bowler of the season so far and will always be a threat.

With Jadeja and Ashwin to tie down the batters in the power, Pathirana to bowl his yorkers on demand, and Rachin Ravindra to chip-in as needed, CSK has a lot of bowling depth.

*UPDATE* There is a doubt about the availability of Ruturaj Gaikwad for this match. He has not trained in the previous two days and has a potential elbow injury.

Chennai Super Kings Expected Playing 11

Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Jamie Overton, Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed

Delhi Capitals

After winning their first match against LSG by the skin of their teeth, DC upped their game and absolutely destroyed SRH in their next encounter. Now, the team has a tough task ahead of them in Chennai.

Is there any hope for DC fans?

We think there is and smart bettors need to take note. In Faf du Plessis and Mohit Sharma, DC has two players that know the conditions at Chepauk very well. They have both done very well here in the past and will be great assets to DC.

Jake Fraser McGurk is a bit of a mystery and has struggled for any kind of rhythm. The day he spends any kind of time at the crease, he will play a match winning inning but on others he will fail. DC has KL Rahul, who looks to have come into the season with a clear intention to showcase his aggressive game, Abhishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, and Ashutosh Sharma as their batters.

Porel, Stubbs, and Sharma can all play the aggressive game in all conditions. Axar Patel is more than a useful batter and as captain, can move himself up and down the order.

While this is not the strongest batting lineup of IPL 2025, it is still put together with a modern mindset and can upset the CSK bowlers. DC's bowling lineup has performed exceptionally in both matches so far.

Mitchell Starc picked up a five wicket haul against SRH and will be a big factor once more. He has excellent support from Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel. This means DC has four international bowlers to frontline its bowling lineup. Vipraj Nigam and Mohit Sharma will provide useful overs in the matches as well.

Deljhi Capitals Expected Playing 11

Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar

CSK vs DC Toss Prediction

Traditionally, Chepauk has favored teams that have chased since dew can be a big factor. We think the team that wins the toss will prefer chasing.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Chennai's MA Chidamabaram Stadium has changed nature over the past couple of seasons and even came in for some criticism from Stephen Flemming (CSK's coach) for not giving the home team nay advantage. That could mean a direr surface with more spin on offer.

In recent times, though, Chepauk has given us pitches that have allowed the batters to score well with 180 being a par total batting first.

There is no rain predicted on match day. We should have an uninterrupted contest.

CSK vs DC: Who Will Win?

The bookmakers are offering shorter odds on CSK to win right now but we think DC is the team that bettors should back right now. Yes, statistically CSK has an advantage over DC but this season is proving to be different. DC's batting is slightly better and its bowling is just as good as what CSK has. It is worth betting on the underdog here.

CSK vs DC win percentage stands at 55% in favor of CSK.
