IPL 2019: Players to watch out for in Qualifier 2 between Delhi and Chennai

Rishabh Pant
1 / 6

Rishabh Pant

For Delhi, Rishabh Pant will play an important role in the crucial match against Chennai. In the Eliminator clash against Hyderabad, Pant was smashing the ball over the boundary ropes brilliantly. 

The star player will be looking to capitalise on the not-so spin-friendly wicket in Visakhapatnam, as hitting sixes against pacers is his forte. 

MS Dhoni - IPL 2008
2 / 6

MS Dhoni - IPL 2008

MS Dhoni joined the Chennai-based IPL franchise for a whopping USD 1.5 million (INR 6 crore back then) back in 2008. MS Dhoni emerged as the highest-paid player in IPL's history at that time.

Prithvi Shaw
3 / 6

Prithvi Shaw

Shaw, who was struggling to stay longer at the crease in recent times, found much-needed form against Hyderabad in the Eliminator. 

He scored 56 runs off 38 balls.

He will look to carry forward the winning momentum in the crucial contest against Chennai. 

4/12 -- Deepak Chahar (Chennai Super Kings)
4 / 6

4/12 -- Deepak Chahar (Chennai Super Kings)

Deepak Chahar was unplayable in Mumbai. The pacer got the ball to swing both ways and breathed down the neck of the opposition batsmen. He wreaked havoc on the Punjab Kings middle-order, dismissing Mayank Agarwal with a ripper of a delivery. He went on to get scalps of Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, and Deepak Hooda, reducing Punjab to 26/5. Punjab managed to reach 106/8 in their 20 overs but that was never going to be enough as Chennai chased down the target in 15.4 overs with six wickets to spare.

Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra tested positive for coronavirus just days before IPL was indefinitely suspended. 

Ambati Rayudu
6 / 6

Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu who helped steady Chennai's batting alongside Dhoni in the Qualifier 1, will be an important wicket for Delhi to take.

Rayudu will be key in constructing a big total for Chennai as Watson hasn't been in top form lately.
