CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 Match-17, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

The Delhi Capitals are on a roll. Having won 2 in 2, they stand in the second position on the points table, just behind Punjab Kings. Axar Patel and his men will now head to the famous MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai to take on 5-time champions Chennai Super Kings at their home.

It hasn’t been a great run for the Super Kings so far. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side has struggled in this edition of Tata IPL as they have managed only a solitary win from 3 matches so far. Their only win came in their opening match of this season against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians by 4 wickets, but they lost the next two games against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals by 50 runs and 6 wickets, respectively.

For DC, things have been on track so far. The Capitals have been on a song after winning their opening two games against LSG and SRH at their adopted home venue, i.e., Vizag. After a terrific show in their adopted home venue, DC will finally play their first away game against CSK at Chennai and will hope to continue their rich vein of form. A win in this contest will help them crawl to the top of the points table. Let’s delve deeper into this post for CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction.

CSK vs DC MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai (Chepauk) Pitch Report

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk is popular for offering a dry and spin-friendly surface. CSK’s Afghan spinner has scalped 7 wickets on this track in the two matches played so far at this venue in this season. Therefore, expect a dry and slow wicket assisting the spinners. Batters have to remain patient to score runs, but the middle overs will be tough to score runs in. All in all, the spinners are expected to have a great day at the office.

CSK Team News

• CSK has been struggling with their batting unit. Besides Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, no other batter has batted responsibly.
• Rahul Tripathi’s regular failures might force the team management to think beyond him. Either Deepak Hooda can return to the fore or Shaik Rasheed could come in.
• If Tripathi is dropped, we might see Gaikwad opening the innings alongside Ravindra.
• Also, we may see the return of Sam Curran in the eleven for Jamie Overton, and Curran might bat at no. 3.
• MS Dhoni’s batting position has been a talking point in this edition so far. It would be interesting to see where the hometown hero bats in this match.

CSK Expected Playing XI: Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi/Deepak Hooda/Shaik Rasheed, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Jamie Overton, Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed
