The first game of this Saturday’s double header will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. The five-time winners have played three games and managed to win one. On the other hand, the 2020 finalists are yet to lose after playing two games. The Super Kings have a lot of questions to answer, especially with the bat.
In the last few seasons, they have not chased anything above 180. Talking about their batting, the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, and MS Dhoni are yet to fire. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra seem to be carrying their batting. On the other hand, the Capitals, despite Jake Fraser-McGurk not firing as off now, have done well in all departments of the game.
