Star speedster Lungi Ngidi will not be seen playing in match against Chennai.
The Wankhede ground in Mumbai is the neutral venue for both teams. In the IPL, the winning record of both these teams against one another on neutral venues is on par, so far, 8 IPL matches have been played between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals on neutral venues and both teams have won four matches each.

Dhawan also completed his 600 fours in the IPL. He is the first batsman to do so in the cash-rich T20 tournament.
Earlier, comeback-man Suresh Raina's hard-fought fifty, a solid 53-run stand with Moeen Ali and a fiery 15-ball 34 runs cameo from Sam Curran powered Chennai Super Kings to 188/7 - a respectable total especially after they got off to the worst-possible start. CSK lost both openers Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad inside the first-three overs. Thanks to Raina's disciplined knock, CSK managed to storm their way back after top-order collapse.
