Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals, under comeback man Rishabh Pant, will be aiming to register their first win of the IPL 2024 season as they set camp at their makeshift home venue in Vizag. Pant and co. have already endured successive defeats in their opening two games at the hands of Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
The captain himself will have a point to prove with the bat when he takes field against CSK bowlers. David Warner once again stands out as one of the key members of the Delhi Capitals unit. The form of their bowlers, especially pacers, continues to remain a worrying factor for the franchise, considering the likes of Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar and Mitchell Marsh have all faltered at some stage this season.
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings ravaged RCB and Gujarat Titans in successive games to jump to the top of the IPL 2024 points table. One of the few unbeaten teams of the tournament, the ‘Yellow Brigade’ will be aiming to sustain their winning momentum under newly-appointed captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.
New-recruit Mustafizur Rahman and CSK veteran Deepak Chahar have ably helm team’s fast bowling composition while spinner Ravindra Jadeja has successfully restricted the opposition’s run-scoring charge through some tight bowling. Rachin Ravindra, captain Gaikwad, all-rounders Shivam Dube and Jadeja have all looked in great touch with the bat.
