Chennai won and lost a match in its first two games. Now, the Dhoni’s led side will face Delhi Capitals in their third match. Delhi played just one match and won it against Kings XI Punjab through a super over. Ahead of this interesting game, we give you a set of players whom you can pick in your Drream11 fantasy teams.
Star Players:
Faf du Plessis:
du Plessis gave scintillating knocks in the first two matches of CSK. In the absence of Suresh Raina, du Plessis turned as a backbone for Chennai’s middle order. We predict that he will score big this time as well.
Shreyas Iyer:
Delhi’s skipper Shreyas Iyer played a responsible knock during the first match of his team. We can expect him to play yet another sensible innings this time as well. A valuable pick for any Dream11 fantasy team.
Kagiso Rabada:
Rabada gave only two runs and picked up two wickets in the super over of Delhi’s last match. He is one of the best T20 fast bowlers and is excellent in the death overs. Take him and he won’t disappoint you.
Rishab Pant:
Pany couldn’t make a big impact during the first match. But given the weak bowling order of Chennai, we expect this Delhi batsman to score big in this game.
Dark Horses:
Shikhar Dhawan:
It has been a long time since we saw this star Indian opener going berserk on the playing field. It is high time for him to step up and perform for his side. Again, given the advantage of Chennai’s weak bowling, Dhawan can perform well.
Deepak Chahar:
The only quickie in Chennai’s team who is giving decent performances. Deepak will be economical in the powerplay overs and can also take wickets. If he gets some crucial wickets, your Dream11 side will be in the safe zone.
Sam Curran:
The young all-rounder turned out to be the best buy of Chennai this year. He is good at bowling and also gives some cracking batting cameos. You can get Curran for a low price and he will be a good pick for your Dream11 side.
Shane Watson:
Watson looked in form during the last match. All he needs to do is to stay until the powerplay gets over. If he does that, there will be no stopping for him.
Uncapped Gems:
Ruturaj Gaikwad:
The young player will replace Ambati Rayudu in this match as well. He failed in his debut game but we expect him to do well in this match. Maybe, he will be the only uncapped player to play this game.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Kedhar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Piyush Chawla, Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Shimron Hetmyer, Rishab Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra/Ravichandra Ashwin, Mohit Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje
