The yearly T20 extravaganza — Indian Premier League (IPL) has finally kicked-off at home after being staged in the UAE last year due to the pandemic.
On the second day of the 14th season, three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be up against a rejuvenated Delhi Capitals (DC), which made to the finals of the tournament in 2020. The match will be held at the historic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
While the MS Dhoni-led CSK will look to forget their dismal outing in 2020 and aim for their fourth title, the Rishabh Pant-led DC will aim to repeat their previous show once again.
