Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) will meet the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) game in Dubai on Monday.
Both sides have qualified for the playoff stage but CSK will aim to retain their position at the top of the table after facing a heavy loss against the Rajasthan Royals in their previous game. DC, meanwhile, will jump to the first position with a win over Dhoni's side.
As both sides meet in Dubai, let's take a look at the DC vs CSK squad updates and head to head stats:
