At CSK’s home ground, the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, the two teams have clashed 9 times. Chennai Super Kings have dominated on their home ground, winning 7 out of 9 matches.
Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have faced each other 30 times in the Indian Premier League, with CSK holding the advantage with 19 victories, while DC has secured only 11 victories.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy has been steady so far, and tonight he’ll look to anchor the innings and lead from the front.
CSK will be banking on their strong record at Chepauk, where spin plays a major role and crowd support is always electric.
MS Dhoni (43), Faf du Plessis (40), and R Ashwin (38) continue to defy age in IPL 2025. All three remain pivotal for their teams in terms of leadership and performance.
Jake Fraser-McGurk’s fearless hitting will be tested against Khaleel Ahmed’s left-arm swing. The Australian strikes at 205+ vs left-arm pace, making this a must-watch mini-battle.
CSK have the lowest powerplay run rate (7.27) and worst economy rate (10.22). Without early momentum, they risk falling behind against DC’s aggressive top-order and disciplined attack.
If spin conditions return, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav could become game-changers. Both have excellent control and strike rates against right-hand batters in the middle overs.
With 8 wickets in just 2 matches, Starc has emerged as DC’s X-factor with the ball. His pace and swing could exploit CSK’s shaky top order in the powerplay.
Former CSK star Faf du Plessis is DC’s powerplay enforcer, averaging 40 in IPL 2025. His return to Chepauk adds experience and emotional intensity to this key fixture.
CSK coach Stephen Fleming has questioned the lack of spin-friendly conditions at Chepauk, stating there’s “no home advantage.” Expect a flat surface that could aid big hitters.
Rahul Tripathi’s form is a concern. With the powerplay struggling, Devon Conway may return, offering CSK left-right balance and stability in their top order.
If Ruturaj Gaikwad fails his fitness test, MS Dhoni is likely to return as CSK captain—a massive development that could alter team dynamics and strategic decisions at Chepauk.
Delhi Capitals haven’t beaten CSK at Chepauk since 2010. With a red-hot squad in IPL 2025, they’re gunning to end a 15-year drought and rewrite their Chennai story.
