It’s the return of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the first leg of the tournament will see games being played at Mumbai and Chennai only, with one game scheduled per day. We spoke about IPL 2021 Match 1 between Mumbai and Bangalore and the next day, we have another single game day with Match 2, where one of the most popular IPL franchises will be in action – Chennai Super Kings.
They’re playing against last year’s finalists in Delhi Capitals and both teams have a few changes ahead of IPL 2021. For starters, Delhi is coming into the tournament with a new captain wile CSK has brought in a few players to bridge the pretty obvious gaps noticed last season. In IPL 2020, Delhi beat CSK in both round robin games. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the CSK vs DC game…

Stats that matter
- Head to head in last 5 games, Chennai leads 3-2.
- Last 5 IPL games at Wankhede – 4 won batting second.
- Anrich Nortje – 7 wickets in 2 ODIs against Pakistan recently.
Chennai Super Kings
With Shane Watson being released, the best news coming in is that of Robin Uthappa being picked up at the 2021 IPL Auction only because he was at his prime while opening for KKR and had a poor season when used in the middle order with Rajasthan, so he makes our CSK vs DC fantasy team. The likes of Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu will be more comfortable in their places in the middle order now, since Ruturaj Gaikwad is another confirmed opener.
Another overseas player who is likely to be the main all-rounder ahead of Dwayne Bravo is Sam Curran who recently had a great series in India against India where he even scored 95* batting at #8 in the final ODI, so he’s a good choice to be your fantasy captain or vice-captain. With 10 scalps in 9 games last season, Shardul Thakur is a good choice for your CSK vs DC Dream11 team because he now has much more international experience.
Delhi Capitals
Shreyas Iyer is ruled out of the season and the new captain Rishabh Pant is a must have in our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) CSK vs MI fantasy teams today because of heroic performances for Team India in recent months across formats. All-rounder Axar Patel is likely to miss out on some action since he tested positive for Covid-19 which means added pressure on Marcus Stoinis to perform as the only genuine all-rounder in the side.

Given the composition of the side, it’s unlikely that Shimron Hetmyer and Chris Woakes will get a game soon as they also signed Steve Smith from Rajasthan Royals who is an absolutely sure starter for this Chennai vs Delhi game. Prithvi Shaw had a record breaking season in the Vijay Hazare Trophy which included a double century and the signs are good for him to make a return to form in this IPL 2021 season.
