IPL 2025: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in CSK vs DC clash

The Chennai Super Kings are all set to lock horns against the Delhi Capitals in the 17th game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on April 5 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The two sides seem formidable and have been delivering sensational performances irrespective of their standing in the points table.

This forthcoming clash is set to feature several player battles that can influence the match’s outcome. In the same vein,

Here are the top three player battles to watch out for from the CSK vs DC clash.

Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Axar Patel 

This battle seems one of the most intriguing this time when the two captains will be facing each other. The CSK skipper seems to be in great form, already amassing two half-centuries from the last three matches. The stylish right-handed batter possesses the ability to do most of the damage against bowlers in the powerplays. On the other hand, Axar has not picked up many wickets in the ongoing edition. Despite that, his spin can trouble the Indian batter in this game.

Shivam Dube vs Kuldeep Yadav

The left-handed batter has been one of the prime batters from the CSK side. Dube had exceptional IPL 2023 and IPL 2024, and his performance has earned him the India cap again. The star batter can stitch a big stand in the middle order of the game and single-handedly guide the side to chase down the totals. Dube possesses the ability to produce breathtaking shots under pressure situations. On the other hand, Kuldeep has been in great form already, picking up five wickets in the last two matches. His spin’s variation can trouble the CSK star.

Faf du Plessis vs Khaleel Ahmed

The DC batter has been in great form and is heading to this clash after hammering and blistering for half a century in the last game. The South African batters seem to be in a red-hot form and might pose a big threat to CSK bowlers in the powerplay. On the other hand, Khaleel seems great in the IPL 2025, picking up six wickets from the last three matches. The star bowler might give CSK an early breakthrough if he gets rid of the Proteas legend.
