Chennai Super Kings will miss their great in-form batsman Ambati Rayudu In the match against Delhi as he will not play in today's game due to a muscle strain. Also, all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who is out due to knee injury, will also not be part of the CSK playing eleven.
The biggest problem for Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK remains the opening batting pair. Opener Shane Watson and Murali Vijay have not been able to do much in the last two matches. So, in today's game the possibility of a change in the opening pair can't be ruled out.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals, who have started this season with a win, will be expecting a brilliant performance against Chennai from their star players Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw.
