CSK v DC, IPL 2021 2nd Match Match Preview:

Chennai Super Kings has a lot of depth in their batting. They have power-hitters as well as anchors for any match situation in front of them. Yet, one of the problems they could face, especially in their 1st game is the lack of match practice for a few players. 

Sam Curran will be the key player for CSK. He has been in great form recently with both bat as well as the ball. Shardul Thakur could prove to be the game-changer, a job he has been doing for quite some time now for India. There will be a toss-up between Moeen Ali and Imran Tahir for the second spinner in the squad apart from Ravindra Jadeja, who is also returning from an injury and will be playing his first match after more than two months. 

Delhi Capitals have a strong batting lineup. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan will be opening while Shimron Hetmyer could be seen batting at number 3. Rishabh Pant is the key player for DC in this season. He is in sublime touch in the last few months.

Marcus Stoinis and Sam Billings will be the likely finishers for the team with Chris Woakes coming at number 7. R Ashwin will be the X-factor for DC. Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav will be leading the charge in the bowling department. 

Chennai Super Kings has dominated Delhi Capitals in the past and will look to continue to do that in this game as well. However, DC is in great form since the last season and would be hoping to continue their momentum this year as well.
