Chennai Super Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in Match 2 of the 2021 Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 10. With a host of options to pick from, we bring you the best options to gain some bragging rights and make some money on the side as well, all on BlitzPools.

As Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals begin the latest season of the IPL, they come in with extremely different fortunes. Chennai, a side that has a history of being one of the best franchises in the IPL, struggled for form as they finished out of the playoff for the first time in their history. Delhi, on the other hand, a team that has been struggling in most seasons since the inception of the IPL, managed to make their maiden appearance in an IPL final.

However, this time around, questions would be plenty for both sides, who would be missing their South African stars with them still under quarantine. For Delhi, it comes as a hammer blow, with Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje leading their bowling attack. Delhi’s problems don’t stop there, they will also have a tough time replacing Axar Patel, who not only bowled with the new ball but controlled the pace of the innings with the ball.

For Chennai, it is a problem of plenty, several players who could fill in at any given role but will they have enough time to identify their best side, for the clash against Delhi?
