CSK are off to a solid start against Delhi Capitals courtesy to Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who smashed Auqib Nabi for some handsome boundaries in the first over. Not the start Auqib Nabi would be hoping for in the IPL.

CSK 10/0 (1)
Delhi Capitals have won the toss and elected to field first against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk Stadium.
Delhi Capitals have a better win probability of 54% as compared to CSK’s 46%, largely due to their better form and balanced squad.
