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:
