Visiting Delhi Capitals side won the toss and opted to bat first on an overcast evening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk as they faced Chennai Super Kings' bowling attack in Match 17 of . Ahead of the game, Faf du Plessis was ruled out due to being unfit, and as a result, KL Rahul was chosen to open alongside Jake Fraser-McGurk.
Jake Fraser-McGurk might've departed on the fifth delivery of the game after Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first, but KL Rahul and Abishek Porel made the most out of the powerplay from that point. Khaleel Ahmed was on the money in the three overs he bowled during that phase, conceding just 16 runs while picking up one wicket.
Ravindra Jadeja effected a breakthrough in his first over itself, dismissing the well-set Porel on 33 (20). Axar Patel's self-promotion to No. 4 seemed to be going well until Noor Ahmad cleaned him up for a promising 21. Noor's third was taken for 17 runs, an over after KL Rahul got to his 38th fifty in the IPL. Khaleel ended his day with a fine spell (2/25 in four overs).
A 15-run fourth over by Mukesh Choudhary meant he conceded 50 in his spell. Stubbs ended the innings with a handy 12-ball 24-run cameo, while Rahul, who was caught-behind in the final over of the innings, contributed 77 off 51 deliveries. DC ended their innings on a score of 183/6 after 20 overs.
