According to the DC skipper, the experienced South African batter is not fit to play today's game, which is held in MA Chidambaram Stadium. Young Indian talent Sameer Rizvi has been included in the team for today's game, in place of the veteran batter.

For today's match, CSK has made couple of changes in their playing XI. Devon Conway's first appearance in the yellow jersey of the season, Jamie Overton is not playing the match and Mukesh Choudhary replaced Rahul Tripathi.
