Trends & Recent Form
We like the look of the Dehli Capitals squad this year and think they will go well. The Super Kings are usually a good team in the IPL but they were below their usual standard in 2020 finishing 7th.

- Captain Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the whole tournament after picking up an injury in the India v England T20 series.
- Indian Rishban Pant will step in as the captain for 2021, we think that is an excellent choice for the team. He says to has always been a dream to captain the team.
- DC spent their budget wisely in the auction adding Tom Curran, Steve Smith, Sam Billings and Umesh Yadav all between 1cr and 5.23cr. They did not get in any bidding wars and get Smith for 2.2cr which looks like excellent business.

Match Prediction & Tips
Match Prediction: Dehli Capitals to win at 8/11*
The Dehli Capitals performed really well last year and have bought well in the auction. They are our team to watch this year and we are expecting big things from them.
They are the favourites for this match and after winning both the head to head matches last year will be looking to get off to a winning start.
Other Picks
- Pick 1: Sam Curran over 0.5 wickets 4/5
Currans record reads 23 matches, 23 wickets. He’s a player who has improved over the last 12 months and will be up against his brother who has just signed for Dehli.
- Pick 2: Ngidi top CSK bowler 3/1
Ngidi could be an important player for CSK this year. He has an excellent record of taking wickets in the IPL and when he is on it he’s an excellent wicket taker.
Dream 11 Selections
Here are some of our selections and player to watch for Dream 11 fantasy cricket.
Captain: Rishabh Pant
The new captain will have a point to prove. His recent T20 form is excellent and he’s our selection for the Dream 11 captains role.
Vice Captain: Marcus Stoinis
Stonis is a phenomenal IPL player. We are expecting him to bat further up the order for the Capitals again this year, more as a batsman who bowls a little, rather than a bowler who bats a little.
Dream 11 players to watch:
- Sam Curran
- Robin Uthappa
- du Plessis
- Kagiso Rabada
- Chris Woakes
