Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni close in on milestones heading into match 55 of IPL 2022

Mumbai, May 8: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 55 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (May 8).

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Super Kings are on the brink of missing out on making the playoffs after they suffered their six loss in 10 matches when they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 13 runs. CSK have not got 6 points from 10 matches.

Rishabh Pant's DC, on the other hand, kept their hopes alive by beating rivals Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs in their recent outing. With that win DC have accumulated 10 points from 10 matches.

If CSK lose to DC they are definitely out of contentions for a playoff spot, but a defeat for DC also will dent their chances of making the top four and winning their first ever IPL trophy.

CSK has so far lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore, SRH, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings (twice), new comers Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. Their wins came against RCB (revere fixture), Mumbai Indians and SRH (reverse fixture).

DC, meanwhile, have wins against PBKS, KKR (twice), SRH and MI. Their defeats came against Rajasthan Royals, RCB, LSG (twice) and GT.

The two sides have crossed paths many times in the past, but will meet for the first time this season and also for the first time at the Dr DY Patil Stadium, where CSK have a better record.
