CHE vs DC injury update and key players

CHE injury updates Sisanda Magala, Ben Stokes and Simarejeet Singh are yet to recover from injuries, as per the last update.

CHE key players The entire Chennai top-order has been in good form with Devon Conway leading the batting line-up consisting of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube. Their good showing has limited batting opportunities for Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni down the order.

Jadeja has been putting on a good show with the ball as well with 15 wickets this IPL. Tushar Deshpande has the bigger claim for the Purple Cap as the pacer is tied at the top with 19 wickets. Deepak Chahar made a good return post-injury with two wickets in the last game.

Matheesha Pathirana has become an important bowler as well with six wickets in the last three games, including a man-of-the-match spell of 3/15. His compatriot Maheesh Theekshana went wicketless in the last game but has been bowling well.

Out of form Ambati Rayudu's batting woes continue as he flopped in the impact substitute role again.

DC injury update There's no injury concerns reported from Delhi Capitals camp on the eve of the match.

DC key players Phil Salt is the man in form with two half-centuries recently, including man of the match show in the last game while David Warner's form has dipped a bit as he hasn't scored a half-century in his last four innings. Rilee Rossouw made good use of the rare opportunity with a knock of 35 in the last game while Mitchell Marsh remains in good touch with a 17-ball 26 after a half-century an innings ago.

Marsh is doing a good job with the ball too as he took six wickets in two games. Axar Patel is another key member down the order and has played good cameos with the bat but has struggled to take wickets off late. Aman Hakim Khan also scored a half-century recently.

Among bowlers, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar are bowling well with Ishant proving economical with his line and length. Kuldeep Yadav has bowled well this IPL but has struggled to pick wickets with just six dismissals in as many games.

Out of form Sarfaraz Khan and Prithvi Shaw have failed to impress with the bat while Anrich Nortje has struggled to take wickets and was dropped from the team in the last game.
