After facing defeats in their initial matches, the Delhi Capitals are determined to stage a comeback. The inclusion of new players and strategic changes underscores their commitment to turning their fortunes around in the tournament.
The Delhi Capitals have made two changes to their lineup. Injured Kuldeep Yadav makes way for Prithvi Shaw, while Ishant Sharma replaces Ricky Bhui. Captain Rishabh Pant’s comments highlight the team’s strategy to capitalize on batting conditions and put runs on the board.
Rishabh Pant: We’ll bat first. Wicket looks good, we want to use it as a batting track, put runs on the board. (On playing home games in Vizag) I think it makes a lot of difference, but we practiced here. We came here and got 10 days at this wicket. Two changes – Kuldeep had a niggle, Prithvi Shaw comes in. Ricky Bhui is out, Ishant Sharma comes in.
CSK enters the match with an impressive unbeaten streak, showcasing their dominance in the IPL 2024 season. With consistent performances and a balanced squad, CSK aims to maintain their winning momentum against the Delhi Capitals.
The Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vizag is renowned for its favorable conditions for batsmen. While minimal seam movement is expected, early swing may benefit new ball bowlers. The traditionally slower track also presents opportunities for spinners and seamers with variations.
Teams:
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
