Delhi Capitals playing XI vs Chennai Super Kings: In the 17th match of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals are taking on Chennai Super Kings at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Delhi Capitals have won the toss and decided to bat first. Faf du Plessis is out of the playing XI for the game. Faf scored half century in the last game. Sameer Rizvi will be playing in place of Rizvi. There’s a high chance, KL Rahul, who was supposed to play at number-4, will open the innings.
What did Axar Patel say during toss
Axar Patel chose to bat first after winning the toss. He said, “We are going to bat first. Feels like there’ll be help for the bowlers. Expect it to get slower as the game progresses. In our team, we have a few players who have captained other franchises and that helps me a lot. Same combination. Faf is not fit for this game, Sameer Rizvi is playing.“
Who will come as an impact sub?
Since, Delhi Capitals are batting first, Ashutosh Sharma will not be coming as an impact substitute. It will be some bowler who is likely to come as an impact sub in the second innings; however, it’s not sure, but there’s always a big probability. Mukesh Kumar is likely to come as impact sub in the second innings.
