Info:
- CSK are the second most successful side in the history of IPL with titles in 2010, 2011 and 2018 as well as finishing as runners-up in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2019. The Capitals are yet to get their hands on the trophy but will be looking to keep up their incremental improvements and make the final step this year.
- Both teams have homegrown stars in their ranks. CSK are led by MS Dhoni who has Suresh Raina returning after he missed the 2020 edition, they’ll both be lining up alongside Shardul Thakur. For Delhi Capitals, their preparations have been scuppered by injury to captain Shreyas Iyer who will miss the entire competition with a shoulder injury. However they still have Indian stars in Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, replacement skipper Rishabh Pant and Ishant Sharma.
- There is a glut of top international players across both squads also. CSK have the experienced Faf du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir alongside the younger Moeen Ali, Mitchell Santner, Sam Curran and Lungi Ngidi. Delhi Capitals picked up Steve Smith in this year’s auction, he finds himself alongside Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Woakes, Marcus Stoinis, Sam Billings, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Tom Curran.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
There will be a high of 30 degrees when the game gets underway. It won’t drop below 29 throughout the match which will be played under clear skies.
🏟️ Pitch:
Games in Mumbai traditionally favour the batsmen. This is the venue where the third highest individual IPL score was hit by AB de Villiers. We expect this surface to be one that the batsmen will enjoy.
Team NEWS:
Chennai Team News:
CSK will be without Lungi Ngidi who, along with other current South Africa players, only joined the bubble in recent days and must serve a 7 day quarantine period. Ravindra Jadeja will be available after missing the entire England series earlier this year after breaking his thumb in Australia.
Delhi Team News:
There was great excitement for Delhi Capitals ahead of last year’s final, however Trent Boult took the wicket of Marcus Stoinis with the first ball to get their game off to the worst possible start. The Capitals will be missing their two South African pace bowlers for this fixture, Nortje and Rabada still in isolation.

CSK Key Players:
Suresh Raina:
The former Indian international has been a mainstay at CSK since the beginning of the tournament in 2008. But for two years with Gujarat Lions during CSK’s suspension, he played every season until last year which he missed. The return of Raina’s runs will be a big plus for the team.
MS Dhoni:
CSK’s captain still has a presence about him which inspires his team-mates and instills fear in the opposition. However, the 2020 campaign was the first in which he didn’t contribute a half-century. Dhoni will be keen to show this was just a blip and not a sign of permanent decline.

Ravindra Jadeja:
Another player who provides quality across all formats of the game, Jadeja delivered more with the bat than with the ball during CSK’s disappointing 2020 IPL. He will be looking to get back to his bowling form of 2014 when he contributed 19 wickets.

DC Key Players:
Shikhar Dhawan:
Delhi Capital’s aggressive opening batsman ended the 2020 IPL season with the second highest aggregate run total in the competition of 618. He hit two centuries, four half-centuries and averaged 44.14 with a strike-rate of 144.73
Rishabh Pant:
IPL 14 was one to forget with Pant who delivered very little until a 38-ball 56 in the final against Mumbai Indians. However since then, he has taken Australia by storm, obliterated England in all three formats and is now captain. Capitals will be hoping to see more of this and a return similar to the 2018 season when he hit 684 runs.

Steve Smith:
if there was any argument about the strength of this tournament, the fact that Steve Smith isn’t guaranteed a starting place should end the debate. Never someone to break six hitting records in this format, expect Smith to be the extremely strong glue in the Capitals order during this year’s competition.

Team Forms:
CSK Team Form:
The second most successful side in the history of the IPL will be determined to right the wrongs of last season. There were signs that they had turned a corner and they should continue that form in this IPL 2021.
DC Team Form:
Delhi Capitals were the side to watch in the first half of IPL 13 before falling away and losing all momentum ahead of the final. They have the players and now need to find consistency at the right times to clinch that first title.
