CSK has made the last four in each of the previous 7 IPL seasons, including 4 straight final appearances and 2 titles in 2010 and 2011
The Daredevils have once again gone for a complete overhaul of their side
Under the captaincy of Jean-Paul Duminy, the team would be preparing to turn its fortunes around in the 2015 season.
Wicketkeeper-batsmen Quinton de Kock of South Africa and Mayank Agarwal are a good opening option, followed by Duminy, Yuvraj, Kedar Jadhav, Albie Morkel in the middle order
Off the 14 matches between the two teams, the CSK have
prevailed on 10 occasions – including in each of the last 6 meetings
against DD
The Delhi Daredevils, who finished at the floor of the table last season, have rejigged their side, the onus will be on the skipper JP Duminy to lead from the front. The
South African was the Delhi Daredevils’ top run-getter last season –
scoring 410 runs at an impressive strike-rate of 134.42
JP Duminy will become the 8th player to captain the Delhi Daredevils.
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, James Hopes, Mahela
Jayawardene, David Warner and Kevin Pietersen were the other players to
have captained the franchise earlier

Delhi Daredevils(DD) won the toss and chose to field
Chasing a 151-run target, Ashish Nehra gave DD the early jitters when he picked up the wickets of CM Gautam, Mayank Agarwal and Shreyas Iyer in the first five overs. Reduced to 39 for 3, DD recovered through a 48-run partnership between Albie Morkel and Kedar Jadhav. Just when one felt the pendulum was tilting in favour of the visitors, Mohit Sharma struck for CSK, dismissing Jadhav, caught at point for 20.
Yuvraj Singh, who was welcomed with a huge cheer from those in the stands, didn’t last too long; he scored 9 from five deliveries before he miscued a pull which landed in the hands of Ishwar Pandey at midwicket. DD skipper JP Duminy perished in the following over when he inside-edged one onto his stumps.
Delhi Daredevils, led by a valiant innings from South African Albie Morkel who walked out to bat at number three held his own
Needing 19 off the final over, Morkel turned on the heat finding the fence off the first delivery and then deposited the fourth boundary over the fence, bringing the equation down to eight off the final two balls. He picked a brace off the penultimate delivery, and needed to deposit the ball over the fence off the final delivery. But he could pick up four runs – which meant DD fell two runs short.
Albie Morkel remained unbeaten on 73 off 55 balls with 4x8 and 6x1
