CSK vs DC: Why Rahul Tripathi Is Not Playing Today’s IPL 2025 Match?

Rahul Tripathi dropped for poor performance in last few matches.

The 17th match of IPL 2025 is being played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC). The match is happening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bat first. Both teams made some changes in their playing eleven. The Chennai Super Kings made two changes. Devon Conway and Mukesh Choudhary came into the team. Jamie Overton and Rahul Tripathi were left out.

Rahul Tripathi was given a chance but he failed to make an impact and hence dropped now.

Devon Conway, who has returned to the team, is a strong opening batter. He will now open with Rachin Ravindra. The fans are excited to see Conway back in action. Mukesh Choudhary has also joined the team. He is a good fast bowler and will help CSK in bowling.

Here are the playing elevens for both teams:

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI):

Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel (captain), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI):

Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Mukesh Choudhary, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
