Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada has not only emerged as the best bowler of this IPL season but also been a standout performer in the league. With 25 wickets in 12 matches this year, Rabada has been the vital cog in the change of fortunes for Delhi Capitals this season. To beat a strong CSK side on their home turf, Rabada would be looking forward to continuing his splendid form tonight.

Imran Tahir

The second best bowler in IPL 12, Imran Tahir has had an impressive season this year. With 17 wickets, Tahir has been Dhoni’s go-to bowler this IPL. Not only has he picked wickets, but has also taken them at an impeccable economy rate of 6.50 – second best among top-10 wicket-takers. How he fares against a flamboyant DC lineup will be a sight to watch. MS Dhoni & Ravindra Jadeja Return to CSK Squad; Harbhajan Singh & Others Bond With Rishabh Pant Ahead of their Game with DC (See Pics).

Shikhar Dhawan

After a tepid start to his campaign this year, Shikhar Dhawan has roared back to form in the second half of the league. So much so that he is now the fourth-highest run-scorer this year. With such fluency in his knocks and the sublime touch that he is in, Dhawan will be itching to carry his form as the league gets in its business end.

Shane Watson

Shane Watson has one of the worst seasons this year. After a horrid start to this tournament, Watson showed shades of vintage ‘Watto’ where he scored 96 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. If CSK is eyeing to win a record 4th title, Watson’ form will play a major factor for the 3-time IPL Champions. Given the form that he is in, it will be delighting to see Watson play against DC tonight.

Shreyas Iyer

One of the most underrated players this season, Shreyas Iyer has quietly and steadily contributed to his team’s success in this IPL. His consistent performances have helped Delhi restore some calm and stability in the otherwise fragile middle order. Not only his batting skills, with Delhi atop the league standings it is also enough testimony has he has thrived on the captaincy front as well.

The hosts, Chennai Super Kings, have won 8 matches and lost 4 games this season and with 16 points are on the second spot of the IPL 2019 Points Table. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have the same number of statistics but are on the top of the ladder with a better Net Run Rate (NRR) in their favour.

With a limited number of matches left to play, it will be intriguing to see how both the (qualified) sides approach the game. Stay tuned to get all the latest updates about Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.
