CSK vs DC LIVE Cricket Score Streaming Online: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bat first against Chennai Super Kings in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. Delhi Capitals enter the match in strong form after winning both their games this season. The team secured a convincing seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match and will look to extend their unbeaten run. Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have struggled to find rhythm. With only one win in three matches, the five-time champions are coming off a loss to Rajasthan Royals and will aim to bounce back at home. Both teams made changes to their playing XI. Delhi Capitals replaced Faf du Plessis with Sameer Rizvi due to fitness concerns. Chennai Super Kings brought in Devon Conway for Jamie Overton and Mukesh Choudhary for Rahul Tripathi.
At the toss, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said he also wanted to bat first and noted that the pitch looked dry. "We were looking to bat as well. Looks a bit dry. It's a bit cloudy, won't change much. You always want momentum in T20 cricket. Overall, the chat has been positive. Fielding is something which we can improve day by day. We want to be proactive. Elbow is good. Conway comes in for Overton. Mukesh comes in from Tripathi," he said.

Axar Patel said he expects the pitch to slow down as the match progresses and believes the presence of experienced leaders in the team will help in decision-making. "We are going to bat first. Feels like there'll be help for the bowlers. Expect it to get slower as the game progresses. In our team, we have a few players who have captained other franchises and that helps me a lot. Same combination. Faf is not fit for this game, Sameer Rizvi is playing," DC skipper said.
