IPL 2021, DC vs CSK, Live Score: Rishabh Pant Delhi Capitals recovered from their close defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders with an impressive win over Mumbai Indians in testing conditions in Sharjah on Saturday. Their latest rivals Chennai Super Kings are facing a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals. Both the teams are traded in the top-two spots in the IPL 2021 standings and are the first two to make it to the playoffs this season.
Saturday’s results – DC’s win and CSK’s loss – mean that both teams are now level on points but Chennai are on top thanks to a better net run-rate. This nicely sets up their latest meeting in the ongoing season. And also bringing us to the bigger question: Will they rest their first-choice players and give those waiting patiently in the dug-out a chance?

Well, considering all that is at stake, it can be a bit daunting. Both will be eyeing a spot in the top two, but neither of them has been confirmed for a place. But whoever wins on Monday will make sure, and ensure two shots to make it to the final.
So will either DC or CSK risk not fielding their best XI? Agreed, they’re already in the playoffs, but wouldn’t it make sense to change once the top-two spot is confirmed?
DC made just one change in their eleven for MI Clash – a fit again Prithvi Shaw replacing Lalit Yadav. Will they take the field with the same eleven or maybe Sam Billings known for his big hitting in place of Steve Smith, given the clashes in Dubai?
Also, will they rest to keep Avesh Khan fresh and bring Umesh Yadav or Ishant Sharma into the mix. Kagiso Rabada and Enrique Nortje have played all their matches so far and hence, they could be given a break with Ben Dwarshuis and Tom Curran getting a game.
