CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction: 2nd match, IPL 2021
CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction, top picks and player stats of the 2nd match of IPL 2021. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals will play in the 2nd Match of IPL 2021 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai Super Kings has been the most consistent team so far in the history of IPL as they have qualified for playoffs in every season except for the last season. They had a tough time last season and finished at the 7th position on the points table. Super Kings have three season titles to their name.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is most likely to open the innings as he had batted brilliantly towards the last season and scored consecutive fifties. Du Plessis is most likely to open along with him as he has been doing the duty of opener very well for CSK.
The No.3 position will be continued by Veteran Suresh Raina, who had missed the last season due to personal reasons. In the middle-order, CSK has many options out of whom MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja are sure to play. Among Rayudu, Pujara, Jagadeeshan, Sam Curran, and Mitchell Santner, it is up to the management and MSD to want to play.
In this season, CSK has a good number of fast bowling options in Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Jason Behrendoff, and Sam Curran. It is well known that Super Kings are majorly dependent on their spinners, and also they have got a good set of spinners like Jadeja, Imran Tahir, Santner, Karn Sharma, and Sai Kishore.
Chennai Super Kings look strong on the paper, but there is a lot of confusion about who will be playing XI for the first match this season.
Delhi Capitals:
Delhi Capitals has been a decent franchise that had success in the initial season of IPL but lost track after, and again they have been performing well from the last few seasons. They are yet to win an IPL title.
Shreyas Iyer, who was leading the side for the past two seasons, suffered from a shoulder injury in the recent T20I series. The captaincy responsibilities have been given to Rishabh Pant. The exact opening pair Shaw and Dhawan are likely to open this season because both of them have appeared to be in good form in the recent matches.
Steve Smith might get a chance to bat at No.3 as he generally bats at this position for his national team. The middle-order will consist of Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinins, and Axar Patel. There is also a chance for Shimron Hetmyer to be in the playing XI.
DC has probably one of the best fast bowling line-ups in IPL as they have speed guns like Rabada, Nortje, Umesh Yadav, and players like Ishant Sharma and Avesh Khan. They also have experienced players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Amit Mishra, along with the young Axar Patel.
The team looks good, and under Ricky Ponting’s coaching, they had gone to the finals in the last season. We can expect the same performance from Delhi Capitals this season.
