Delhi Capitals will host Chennai Super Kings in match number 13 of IPL 2024 in the second match of the doubleheader to be played at Vizag on 31st March.
Chennai Super Kings have won 2 matches in a row with a 63-run win against Gujarat Titans. They would look to continue their winning momentum. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals is currently struggling with 2 successive losses.
It promises to be an exciting battle between two quality captains that would decide the fate of the match.
Here we look at the 3 Player Battles To Look Out For in match number 13 of IPL 2024 between CSK and DC:
- David Warner vs Deepak Chahar
The explosive left-handed Australian batter David Warner looked in good touch during the previous match against Rajasthan Royals. He made 49 runs and kept Delhi Capitals on track for a win but could not convert it into a big score.
On the other hand, Deepak Chahar looked impressive with disciplined lines and lengths taking the wicket of Gill and putting pressure back on GT. Warner has a great record against Chennai Super Kings with 8 half-centuries to his name from 20 matches.
Deepak Chahar would be a major threat with the new ball. The right-arm pace bowler has dismissed Warner twice in seven IPL innings. It promises to be an exciting battle between Warner and Deepak Chahar in the first six overs that might decide the fate of the match.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Khaleel Ahmed
CSK’s newly appointed captain Ruturaj Gaikwad got starts in both games but could not convert it into a big score. Gaikwad would look to provide an attacking start against Delhi Capitals and put them under immense pressure.
Khaleel Ahmed has yet to dismiss Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL history so far. Khaleel Ahmed would be eager to pick his wicket in the first six overs not to allow CSK to get a flying start and put them on the backfoot.
Khaleel looked impressive in the previous match against Delhi Capitals. Both players would be eager to give their team a flying start and allow them breathing space to win the match.
- Shivam Dube vs Kuldeep Yadav
Shivam Dube looked in superb touch against Gujarat Titans. He made a quickfire 50 with some lusty blows against the spinners. Dube has shown tremendous success in the IPL 2024 so far.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled well initially against Rajasthan Royals but went for runs in the death overs. Kuldeep would be a major threat in the middle overs not allowing CSK batters to score runs and pick wickets.
This player battle in the middle overs would decide the fate of the game. Since 2023, Shivam Dube has a strike rate of 176.89 against spinners but has been dismissed 5 times in 16 innings.
