Top 3 captaincy picks for CHE vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today: IPL 2025 Match 17

The 17th match of the IPL 2025, CHE vs DC, will be played on Saturday afternoon in Chennai.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has had a great start as all the teams have been competitive so far. The five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are searching for their second win in the ongoing tournament. They have lost two consecutive games and now have come home to host Delhi Capitals (DC).

This game will be played on Saturday afternoon at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. DC have won their first two games of the season and have momentum on their side. CSK have a good record at home, and they will certainly challenge DC.

These two teams will produce a great contest, which means fans can win big on fantasy cricket platforms. But for that, they must have a good Dream11 team and especially a good Dream11 captain.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be made captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for CHE vs DC, Match 17, IPL 2025

1. Ruturaj Gaikwad

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has earned the most fantasy points among the batters from both teams. Apart from the RCB game, he has earned 121 and 119 points with two half-centuries in three games. CSK need a win, and Gaikwad has always played well under pressure in Chennai.

The batters who can play spin well might do better in Chennai. That is where Gaikwad makes his case stronger. His batting form is another reason to consider him as Dream11 captain.

2. Noor Ahmad

It won’t be a wrong statement to say that MS Dhoni brings the best out of any bowler in the game. That is what we have seen with Noor Ahmad so far. He didn’t get much recognition at Gujarat Titans in the IPL that he already has with CSK in his first three games.

In three games, Noor has earned 142, 98, and 65 fantasy points. Remember, this is an afternoon game, and under sunlight or direct heat, the surface in Chennai might grip more. Even so, many right-handers for DC can give extra opportunity to Noor Ahmad. That is why he can be a good pick as Dream11 captain.

3. Axar Patel

Axar Patel can be a handy pick as captain for CHE vs DC Dream11 teams as well. The DC skipper can use the surface in Chennai to good effect. Then, his batting at this surface can be another important aspect.

He might not be the captain of many Dream11 teams, but he certainly has the potential to outscore other captaincy options on the basis of the surface and conditions this game might have.
