Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) will face the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Qualifier 1 of the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) on Sunday. This will be DC's second successive appearance in the playoff stage, while the Chennai Super Kings made a remarkable return to form this year after a forgettable 2020 season when they finished seventh.

The Delhi Capitals are yet to lift the IPL title but remain the frontrunners for the coveted trophy this season, having finished at the top of the table. 

Chennai Super Kings, meanwhile, have won three editions of the Indian Premier League, with their last title victory in 2018.

As both the sides meet in Qualifier 1, let's take a look at their squads and head to head record:

Squad

Delhi Capitals missed the services of Marcus Stoinis since September 22 when he last appeared for the side against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, but he is expected to make a return ahead of their Qualifier 1 game against CSK.
