Let us have a look at predicted XI’s of DC and CSK

Prithvi Shaw to replace Ricky Bhui

Ricky Bhui’s indifferent run in the middle-order will be a cause of concern for the Capitals. Although, Delhi head coach Ricky Ponting did not delve too much into Prithvi Shaw’s potential inclusion, the Mumbai batter will likely make a return to the XI replacing Bhui. The Capitals could then move Mitchell Marsh to number three, with Shaw pairing up with David Warner, lending more stability to the middle-order.

DC Predicted XI vs CSK: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Ricky Bhui/Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant (w/c), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Sumit Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar.

Impact Player: Lalit Yadav

A Moeen-Mitchell toss-up

With Maheesh Theekhshana blowing hot and cold, CSK have aligned to with a sole lead spinner in Ravindra Jadeja. However, Moeen Ali could be in the reckoning for the only possible change that the Super Kings could field in Vizag. If the Englishman gets a look in, he could replace all-rounder Daryl Mitchell in the XI.

CSK Predicted XI vs DC:
Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni(w), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman.

Impact Sub: Matheesha Pathirana
