Chennai Super Kings will look to continue their winning streak as the MS Dhoni-led side take on Delhi Capitals in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter in Chennai on Wednesday. In the last two games, CSK has earned three points thanks to the washout against Lucknow Super Giants and an impressive win against Mumbai Indians. The side is well placed in the points table and a win against the lowest ranked DC could greatly increase their chances of making the playoffs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway are once again expected to open the bat for CSK and the duo are enjoying brilliant form in the competition so far. Ajinkya Rahane will be ranked number 3 and considering his success rate in IPL 2023, he has taken up a new position for the side.
Shivam Dube has been one of CSK’s success stories this season and along with Moeen Ali is bringing some firmness to the mid-range with Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni to follow. Dhoni has retained himself as a finisher and is expected to again play a part in the closing overs.
In the bowling line-up, Maheesh Theekshana will be the main spin option, assisted by Jadeja and Moeen. The pacemakers – Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande – are also expected to maintain their position in the playing XI and play a major role in assisting veteran Deepak Chahar.
CSK Predicted XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C), Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande
