IPL 2021 live score: CSK vs DC score

At the time of publishing, CSK were 137/6 after 15 overs with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni all being sent back to the pavilion. Faf du Plessis was dismissed for a duck by DC pacer Avesh Khan, while Gaikwad was removed by Chris Woakes who had him caught at slips by Shikhar Dhawan.

Moeen Ali looked dangerous with the bat and looked like taking away the match from DC with some big hits. The left-hander was severe on R Ashwin, however, the off-spinner had the last laugh as he dismissed him for 36 off 24 balls with Dhawan taking the catch. Suresh Raina who did not play IPL last season was back at his best scoring 54 runs off 36 balls with 4 monstrous sixes before getting run out. Rayudu added 23 off 16, while Dhoni went out for a duck.
