DELHI CAPITALS

Shreyas Iyer: The DC skipper has been inconsistent at times with the bat in IPL 2020. In eight matches, he has scored 298 runs with an unbeaten knock of 88 as his high-score. He also has a strike rate of 135.45, packed with 23 fours and 11 sixes. In his team's previous match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), he scored 53 runs to help his side win by 13 runs.

Marcus Stoinis: The Australian all-rounder has been fantastic for DC in the ongoing season. A big hitter, he has slammed 193 runs in the death overs for Delhi. He has also played the role of match winner against the likes of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). With the ball, he has grabbed six wickets from eight matches.

Anrich Nortje: In DC's recent win over RR, Anrich Nortje bowled the fastest delivery in IPL history, clocking at 156.22 km/h. The South African might not be challenging for the Purple Cap like Kagiso Rabada, but has been fiery for his side. He has taken 10 wickets from eight matches this season, at an economy of 7.34.

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Shane Watson: The former Australian cricketer hasn't been at his best in the ongoing season, but still captain MS Dhoni has stuck with him.

Faf du Plessis: The South African has been consistent for CSK throughout the season, and has usually played the anchor role in the batting order. In eight matches, this season he has scored 307 runs with an unbeaten knock of 87 as his highscore. He also has a strike rate of 146.88, packed with 29 fours and eight sixes.

Ravindra Jadeja: The Indian all-rounder has not been at his best since resuming action after the COVID-19 lockdown. Still a crucial cog in CSK's unit, his performances could play a major role in his team's push to the playoff spots.
