Chennai vs Delhi on May 10

The 12th edition of the IPL has found its top three teams. No matter what happens from here on, all the three sides should feel proud of what they have achieved. The Delhi Capitals overcame the massive threat from Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday and they need to take down one the most consistent teams of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings to go into the finals. CSK, somehow, have failed to go past the Mumbai Indians outfit this season and now have been forced to take the long route to make it to the final. They have thrashed the Capitals in both the encounters this season. Rather a thumping loss at the hands of CSK was the reasons why the Shreyas Iyer-led side slumped to the third position in the points table and had to play the eliminator. MS Dhoni would want his Dad’s Army to put their best foot forward having backed them throughout the season.

Best economical pick – The Delhi camp will be extremely happy with the way Prithvi Shaw played in the Eliminator. He’s been striking the ball well but has been finding ways to get out. However, he struck a fluent half-century which gave DC a rousing start to their chase.

Top captains & vice captains – Shikhar Dhawan has been scoring runs consistently this season. With a place in the finals up for grabs, the southpaw will be dangerous for the opposition. He has often provided the team with extremely good starts and will look to do the same again. If Dhawan plays the big knock, he might well make the game one-sided. Faf du Plessis ended the league stage with a masterful 96 against the KXIP. He has amassed 320 runs so far in 10 outings and his calm head is key for CSK. With Watson struggling big time, the South African should look to play cautiously. He shifts the gears superbly after crossing the 50-run mark and on a pitch like Vizag, it is important for a set player to stay in the middle.

Smart pick – Rishabh Pant was the game-changer in the Eliminator. His manic 49 took Delhi on the doorstep of victory. He’s been very good and will be hoping to continue his good form.

Cautious Pick – Shane Watson seems to be struggling big time. He’s just not able to get runs. He might’ve aggregated 268 runs this season but that’s largely come from one knock of 96. What it’s done is it has also put some bit of pressure on Faf du Plessis who has looked like the team’s second-best batsman.

My XI – Shikhar Dhawan (Captain), Faf du Plesis (Vice-Captain), Rishabh Pant, Prithivi Shaw, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Ishant Sharma, Keemo Paul, Harbhajan Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel
