CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction IPL 2022: Playing XI news, fantasy tips and pitch report

Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals are up against each other for the first time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, for match no. 55, scheduled to be played at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday. The match is a do-or-die encounter for both teams as MS Dhoni’s Chennai currently sit 9th in the points table and need to win all of their remaining matches, while Rishabh Pant’s DC eye the no. 4 spot in the IPL 2022 points table by defeating CSK. DC have won five out of the 10 matches they have played so far while CSK have won only 3 out of 10 games. 

IPL 2022 CSK vs DC: Playing XI news

Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjeet Singh, Dwaine Pretorius, and Maheesh Theekshana alongside Ravindra Jadeja are in charge of the CSK bowling line-up in absence of their leading wicket-taker of the season, Dwayne Bravo. However, Theekshana has been brilliant so far in the tournament and will be key to CSK’s bowling performance against DC. On the batting front, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway will look to provide a good start while Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali and Dhoni do the rest of the job.

DC, meanwhile, have been hit with another Covid-19 scare and have the uphill task to give their best in the match. David Warner and Rovman Powell will look to continue hitting big runs for DC, as they did in the last game. Mitchell Marsh and Rishabh Pant are also expected to finally convert a start into a big knock. At the same time, Khaleel Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to continue contributing with wickets at crucial moments.
