DC vs CSK Highlights Qualifier 1, VIVO IPL 2021: MS Dhoni Wins It for Chennai Super Kings, Former Champions Enter Ninth Final

Delhi Capitals lock horns with Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Sunday, October 10. Delhi have been a dominant force this season, having finished at the top of the table and are looking in good form to make it to their second consecutive final. Despite a loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last league stage match, Rishabh Pant's side would be upbeat about their chances of toppling CSK in this encounter. MS Dhoni's side meanwhile, had become the first team this season to qualify for the playoffs but three consecutive losses have now left them with low confidence, momentum and poor form.VIVO IPL 2021 Orange Cap Holder List

MS Dhoni's side would have a further opportunity to reach the final should they fail to defeat Delhi Capitals but they would not want to leave it that way. Already having lost to Delhi twice this season, Chennai would require some of their best performers--Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja and also Shardul Thakur to step up and give their best. It would be an interesting clash nonetheless with both sides having balanced teams.
