Faf du Plessis is not playing in the CSK vs DC IPL 2025 match on Saturday. The South African batter will miss the CSK vs. DC IPL 2025 match owing to an injury. The same was confirmed by DC captain Axar Patel during the toss. Speaking about the toss, DC have won the coin battle and have opted to bat first against the home side.
“We are going to bat first. It looks like the bowlers will get some assistance. We think that the surface will get slower in the second innings and help our bowlers. I think the environment in the dressing room is always good when we win. We have inputs from senior players, and they often talk with the youngsters. We follow the process, irrespective of the results,” said Axar Patel.
“We think whether we are getting balance from the playing XIs and what assistance we are getting from the surface. We are thinking about backing our playing XIs and giving them a long run. We are going with the same combination. Three pacers, three spinners. Unfortunately, Faf is not fit for today’s game and Sameer Rizvi comes in place of him.” he added.
