In their next match, the Chennai Super Kings will face the Delhi Capitals at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The return of MS Dhoni as CSK's captain did not help them much, as they are already out of the playoff race following their loss in the previous game. They will, however, still want to finish high in the points table, which will give them confidence moving into the next edition.
The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, put in a fantastic effort against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game, winning despite major guns like Prithvi Shaw and Axar Patel suffering from niggles. Anrich Nortje's return will also be welcomed, since he brings a lot of speed to the armoury and is likely to keep his spot. It would be intriguing to see if Shaw and Patel are fit for the game because they will be thrust into the starting XI right immediately.
The Gujarat Titans were crushed comprehensively by the Punjab Kings in the last game at the location, which was a low-scoring affair. It's possible that won't be the case this time, with the pitch improving with time and the captain who wins the toss likely to bowl first once more.
Probable Playing XI
Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwaine Pretorius/Dwayne Bravo, Simarjeet Singh, Mukesh Choudhary, Maheesh Theekshana
