IPL 2025: Match 17 – Delhi Capitals Win Toss, Bat First Against Chennai Super Kings as CSK Make Key ChangesThe 17th match of IPL 2025 features an exciting face-off between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Delhi won the toss and opted to bat first, putting Chennai on the field to begin the game.After suffering two consecutive defeats, CSK has made crucial changes to their playing XI in a bid to bounce back. Rahul Tripathi and Jamie Overton have been dropped from the starting lineup.In a strategic move, Devon Conway, the experienced New Zealand batter, returns to CSK’s playing XI. Mukesh Choudhary also comes into the side, replacing the underperforming Rahul Tripathi. Conway brings plenty of firepower to the top order—he was outstanding in the 2023 IPL season, scoring 672 runs in 16 matches, including six half-centuries.On the other hand, Rahul Tripathi’s recent form has been disappointing. Despite being a seasoned player, he has failed to deliver this season. In the three matches he played, he scored just 2 runs against Mumbai Indians, 5 runs versus RCB, and managed only 23 runs against Rajasthan Royals.As for Jamie Overton, he has now been moved to CSK’s impact player list.
