Chennai Super Kings:
After having their worst IPL season in 2020, Chennai Super Kings were expected to make some major changes in the 2021 auctions. Despite that, to everyone’s surprise, they not only retained most of the squad but even refrained from bringing in some young exciting cricketer. Pundits have already expressed the popular opinion that playoffs are still not a likely possibility for MS Dhoni’s men. The yellow brigade will have a steep climb this season. The team combination is expected to remain more or less the same with Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa and Krishnappa Gowtham stepping in the playing 11. Faf du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo, Lungi Ngidi and Sam Curran are expected to be Dhoni’s overseas choices ahead of their first game. They will be expected to play a good IPL match.
Chennai Super Kings squad: MS Dhoni (Captain), Suresh Raina, Narayan Jagadeesabn, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KM Asif, Karn Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Deepak Chahar, Faf du Plessis, Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, Lungi Ngidi, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Imran Tahir, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, K Gowtham, Cheteshwar Pujara, M.Harisankar Reddy, K.Bhagath Varma, C Hari Nishaanth, R Sai Kishore
Delhi Capitals:
Ever since Ricky Ponting has become a part of the Capitals’ think tank, the team has continuously improved, coming out with better results every season. The 2020 finalists will be missing the services of their regular skipper – Shreyas Iyer, but that means, the likes of Rishabh Pant- the newly appointed skipper – Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, and Ravichandran Ashwin will have to play a much bigger role to keep the team going. With Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje expected to miss the opening game and Axar Patel also out with COVID-19, Pant might be tempted to try what Chris Woakes brings to the side. Steve Smith will be another player standing under the spotlight. Delhi would want to play Smith, Hetmyer, Chris Woakes, and Marcus Stoinis as their overseas players. Umesh and Ishant Sharma will be seen leading their pace department.
Delhi Capitals squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (captain and wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Chris Woakes, R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Lalit Yadav, Pravin Dubey, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Avesh Khan, Steve Smith, Umesh Yadav, Ripal Patel, Vishnu Vinod, Lukman Meriwala, M Siddarth, Tom Curran, Sam Billings

PREDICTION:
Delhi has emerged victorious in three out of the last five meetings between the two teams and will go into the game as favorites. The Wankhede pitch is expected to be batting friendly with a little bit of swing early on. Dew will be a factor the two skippers might want to consider and choose to field first.
