CSK vs DC Live Score, IPL 2025: The Chepauk heat will host a tactical showdown today as Chennai Super Kings prepare to take on Delhi Capitals in a crucial IPL 2025 encounter. With Ruturaj Gaikwad doubtful after an elbow injury, MS Dhoni could return to lead CSK. The match is expected to revolve around a fascinating wrist-spin duel between Kuldeep Yadav and Noor Ahmad. Kuldeep, the most economical spinner this season (5.25), brings guile and deception, while Noor’s faster, flatter trajectory (9 wickets, 6.83 economy) is just as impactful in the middle overs.
Delhi Capitals appear stronger on paper with a deeper, more aggressive middle order featuring KL Rahul, Ashutosh Sharma, and Vipraj Nigam. CSK’s batting has relied heavily on Shivam Dube, with Tripathi underperforming and Dhoni no longer the feared finisher he once was.
DC’s biggest test will be adapting to the turning track in Chennai, a stark contrast to their successful run chases on batting-friendly Vizag surfaces. Faf du Plessis’ familiarity with Chepauk conditions could prove crucial for guiding young talents like Fraser-McGurk and Stubbs.
With DC looking to rewrite a poor head-to-head record at Chepauk and CSK clinging to their home dominance, this match promises strategic depth and potential fireworks.
