    IPL 2025: No Du Plessis As DC Win Toss And Elect To Bat First Against Gaikwad-led CSK

    Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals will be without the services of vice-captain Faf du Plessis as captain Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bat first against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings in match 17 of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.

    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said du Plessis, who hit a fifty in their clinical win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, isn’t fit for Saturday’s clash and has been replaced by Sameer Rizvi in the playing eleven.

    With no du Plessis, KL Rahul has been slotted in the team sheet to open the batting alongside Jake Fraser-McGurk. “We 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,” the all-rounder said.
