DC vs CSK Records: In Match No. 50 of IPL 2021, it is a top-of-the table clash as DC face CSK tonight! Here are the 5 stats and records that are up for grabs in this game!
The master MS Dhoni faces his heir-apparent and protege Rishabh Pant in a battle between the table-toppers CSK and the second-placed DC.
It is an important clash as the victors will more or less ensure a top 2 finish for themselves.
Here are 5 stats and records up for grabs in this heavyweight match:
21 – Gaikwad needs 21 runs for Orange Cap
While the Purple Cap list this season is a one-horse race, the Orange Cap is like a hot potato. While CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad (408) wrested the cap on Saturday after a classy century, KL Rahul (428) took it back on Sunday.
Gaikwad needs 21 runs to take it back from the PBKS skipper. Can he do it tonight?
5 – Mishra needs 5 wickets to go past Malinga
DC spinner Amit Mishra (166) is yet to play his first game in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. If he does tonight and gets a fifer, he will go past MI legend Lasith Malinga (170) to become the highest-ever wicket-taker in IPL history!
Will we see this record break tonight?

59 – Rahane needs 59 runs to get to 4,000 IPL runs
IPL legend Ajinkya Rahane (3,941) also hasn’t featured yet in the UAE leg. But if he plays tonight and gets 59 runs, he will become only the 12th-ever batsman to get to 4,000 IPL runs in the history of the league!
Will we see this record break tonight as well?
3 – Bravo needs 3 wickets to go past Mishra
DJ Bravo (164) is hot on the heels of Mishra (166), and needs only 3 wickets to become the second-highest wicket-taker of all-time in IPL.
He was rested in CSK’s previous game, but if he plays tonight and gets these 3 wickets, it will be a great achievement!
69 – Faf needs 69 runs to claim the Orange Cap
As mentioned earlier, the Orange Cap race this season is neck-and-neck! Gaikwad’s teammate and senior pro Faf du Plessis (460) is 69 runs away to wear the Orange Cap on his head.
Will he be the CSK man who’ll be wearing the Cap at the end of tonight?
