Last season, very uncharacteristically, CSK failed to make the playoffs even as DC settled with the runners-up tag after losing to Mumbai Indians in the final in the UAE.
Despite their contrasting returns in the last edition, CSK still remain one of the teams to beat, while DC will hope to do one better than the last season. Both the camps have done good enough business during the auction, but DC will miss the services of Shreyas Iyer, who has been a constant in the Delhi camp since 2017. In his absence, swashbuckling Rishabh Pant will lead the team.
Last season, Delhi completed a league double, winning both the matches comfortably - by 44 runs in Dubai and five wickets in Sharjah. But overall, the fixture is dominated by CSK, winning 13 times in 19 meetings.
