axar patel drops du plessis as dc take on csk in ipl 2025
Axar Patel announced during the toss at MA Chidambaram Stadium that the Delhi Capitals must play their crucial match against CSK without Faf du Plessis. With Faf du Plessis is unfit for play, it brings hardship to Delhi Capitals because this top-order batsman scored a big fifty before the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Delhi Capitals named Youngster Sameer Rizvi to their starting eleven and moved KL Rahul to open for the team alongside Jake Ferrier-McGurk.
The Delhi Capitals supports its position in second place after winning two matches in a row on the league ranking. As CSK leaves their home ground Chennai to steer their team back from eighth position they now face two straight losses. Despite several new additions the hosts made clear changes to their selection roster. The CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad confirmed he was ready to play the match after recovering from an elbow injury he received against Rajasthan Royals. Gaikwad confirmed his good elbow condition at the toss while expressing their plan to enhance fielding performance.
Chennai Super Kings added Devon Conway and Mukesh Choudhary to their team while replacing Jamie Overton and Rahul Tripathi. This move generated strong applause from the Chepauk fans as Conway joined the team.
