DC, ranked second on the points table, come on the back of winning two consecutive games, while CSK, at ninth place, arrive at their home turf after losing two successive matches. After winning the toss, Axar said du Plessis, who hit a fifty in their clinical win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, isn\u2019t fit for Saturday\u2019s clash and has been replaced by Sameer Rizvi in the playing eleven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With no du Plessis, KL Rahul has been slotted in the team sheet to open the batting alongside Jake Fraser-McGurk. \u201cWe are going to bat first as it feels like there'll be help for the bowlers. Expect it to get slower as the game progresses. In our team, we have a few players who have captained other franchises and that helps me a lot,\u201d the all-rounder said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who took a blow on his elbow in the defeat to Rajasthan Royals and was doubtful of playing Saturday\u2019s game, said Devon Conway (whose name got loud cheers from the crowd) and Mukesh Choudhary come in for Jamie Overton and Rahul Tripathi respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe were looking to bat as well. Looks a bit dry. It's a bit cloudy, won't change much. You always want momentum in T20 cricket. Overall, the chat has been positive. Fielding is something which we can improve day by day. We want to be proactive. Elbow is good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
