Delhi Capitals will face Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Sunday in Dubai. For the first time in their IPL history, Delhi made three consecutive IPL entries. In 2019 they finished third, second in 2020 and again this year they made it to the playoffs with an eye to enter the final for the second consecutive time.
The Rishabh Pant-led is were on top of the points table when the league stage matches were concluded. However, they lost their last match off Royal Challengers Bangalore on the last ball of the match where KS Bharat sealed the show with his winning six.
