Delhi vs Chennai on October 17

The 34th match of the Indian Premier League 2020 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah in the UAE.  The second game on a double-header features a solid Delhi Capitals side, who currently sit at the top of the IPL points table. While their batsmen have done the business for them, it has been their bowling attack and especially the duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje that have led them to the top. Their opponents, the Chennai Super Kings, have gained some momentum of late, courtesy of a new batting approach which includes Sam Curran at the top of the order. With the duo of Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson also finding form against SRH, CSK will be bullish about their chances in this fixture. Against a power-packed batting unit, CSK's resourceful bowling attack is in for a test. The reverse fixture between the two sides in IPL 2020 saw DC beat CSK by a huge margin of 44 runs in Dubai. However, CSK hold the edge in the overall head-to-head scenario with fourteen wins compared to Delhi's seven.

Best economical pick – Sam Curran scored 99 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 190. He should be a great pick if he continues to open the innings. He also picked up 9 wickets with the ball.

Top captains & vice captains – Faf du Plessis bagged a duck in the last match but is still the best batsman for CSK. Faf du Plessis has scored the most runs for the side with 307 runs from 8 matches at an average of 51 and a strike rate of 146. He has the best of 87*. Shreyas Iyer has scored the most runs for the side with 298 runs from 8 matches at an average of 42 and a strike rate of 135. He has the best of 88*.He even registered two half-centuries in the tournament.

Smart pick – Shane Watson is providing CSK with some fine starts. He batted at three in the last game and did a decent job. In 8 games so far, he scored 241 runs.

Cautious Pick – Rishabh Pant underwent the fitness test before the last match but couldn’t make the cut. He is doubtful for this game as well. Shreyas Iyer also injured his shoulder while fielding in the last match but is likely to play this game. 

My XI – Faf du Plessis (Captain), Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain), Sam Curran, Shane Watson, MS Dhoni, Prithvi Shaw, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Deepak Chahar, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja
