IPL 2025, CSK vs DC: Playing XIs
CSK Playing XI
Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is in doubt for the next match after injuring his elbow while batting against Rajasthan Royals. If unfit, CSK could give one of their young Indian batters, Shaikh Rasheed or Vansh Bedi a go at No.3. New Zealand opener Devon Conway is another option, with Rachin Ravindra or Rahul Tripathi moving down to No.3, but they would need to then drop Jamie Overton for an Indian player.

IPL 2025, CSK vs DC: MA Chidambaram, Chepauk, Chennai pitch and weather report
Chepauk has long been CSK's fortress. After winning their opener here against Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions will be eager to return to winning ways following their loss to Rajasthan Royals. As always, the Chennai pitch is expected to play true to its nature, offering assistance to slower bowlers - particularly spinners. The visitors should brace for a trial by spin against CSK's trio of Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Noor Ahmad.
A hot and humid weather is expected with five to seven percent of precipitation throughout the match.
