The two wrist spinners bring contrasting styles to the game. Noor bowls at a quicker pace, primarily taking the ball away from right-handed batters. Kuldeep varies his pace and uses different angles from the crease effectively.
Delhi Capitals holds a batting advantage with their strengthened middle order featuring Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, and KL Rahul, who is expected to play more freely without captaincy responsibilities.
Chennai Super Kings face challenges with MS Dhoni's declining finishing abilities. Besides Shivam Dube, the team lacks power hitters who can maintain a strike rate between 180 to 200 in the latter overs when chasing targets above 180.
Rahul Tripathi's struggles as an opener have prompted CSK to call up 17-year-old Mumbai opener Ayush Mhatre, who has represented India U-19 and scored first-class centuries in the recent Ranji Trophy.
Delhi Capitals will face a tougher challenge batting at Chepauk compared to their successful chases in Visakhapatnam. Former CSK captain Faf du Plessis's experience with the conditions could prove valuable for DC's young batters like Jake-Fraser McGurk, Tristan Stubbs, and Abhishek Porel.
Fraser-McGurk's weakness against spin bowling could be tested by Ravichandran Ashwin, who has conceded 99 runs in 10 overs so far in the tournament.
The head-to-head record at Chepauk heavily favors Chennai Super Kings, who have won seven out of nine matches against Delhi Capitals at this venue.
The current Delhi Capitals team, under Kevin Pietersen's mentorship, appears ready to challenge CSK, a team currently balancing between their established approach and modern cricket demands.
