Preview:

Hardly a week into the IPL, and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be playing their third game already. The ‘Men in Yellow’ have had a busy week given that they’d be playing in three out of the seven games in IPL 2020 thus far. In their third game of the tournament, MS Dhoni and his men will be taking on Shreyas Iyer and Co. In the two they played till this stage, CSK won one game while they lost the other.

Their bowlers were mighty expensive in the game against the Rajasthan Royals and thus let the game slip away. The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, were involved in a thriller against the Kings XI Punjab. After a tipsy-topsy ride, they were fortunate enough to have registered a win and thus bagged two important points. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals played each other in 21 IPL games thus far with the former winning 15.

CSK vs DC Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Faf du Plessis has been in phenomenal form this season with 130 runs in 2 matches at an average of 130.

Marcus Stoinis picked up 2 wickets and scored 53 off 21 balls in the last game against Kings XI Punjab.

Shreyas Iyer mustered 39 runs off 32 balls in the last game and could play yet another valuable knock in this match.

Rishabh Pant was dismissed for just 31 runs in the last match but he is a game-changer and can break free.

Shikhar Dhawan was unfortunate to have got run-out on 0 in the previous encounter. But he can give a good start to the Capitals and put up a decent total.

Shane Watson showed us the glimpses of his ability in the last game with 21-ball 33. If he can convert the starts, he is someone who goes on to make a big score.

It is slightly risky to go with Marcus Stoinis as your vice-captain just after one performance. If you don’t wish to take the chance, you can go with Shikhar Dhawan or Shreyas Iyer.

Ravichandran Ashwin is still uncertain for this game. Yet, he has been picked up both the Head-to-Head and Grand League teams. It is better to check for the Playing XIs after the toss.
