Top Drawer Clash

Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings has the potential to turn the top section of the tables in the IPL. Chennai are facing a double challenge in the form of a) one of the better teams in the competition and b) coping with the loss of their Aussie stars.

Team News
For Chennai, Ntini finally arrives - YAY - to bolster the bowling. It would be great to see Badrinath and some other local youngsters get a chance to shine now that Hussey is gone. For Delhi, the top order batting as well as opening bowling is very strong. If Chennai can breach the opening, the middle is weak in both batting and bowling.

Watch out For
For Chennai - Suresh Raina, he has been in splendid form and the departure of the stars would encourage him to take more responsibility.

For Delhi - Virender Sehwag ! He returns to the venue where he did this not too long ago !
