IPL 2023: 3 records that can be broken in today's DC vs CSK clash

The first game in Saturday's double-header will see the Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 67th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The much-awaited encounter will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, May 20.

Despite being second on the points table, there is a lot riding on this game for Chennai. Having won seven out of 13 matches, they will look to seal their place in the playoffs with a win.

Delhi, meanwhile, are out of the competition. They are in ninth position with just five wins from 13 games. Having said that, they will be determined to end their season on a high and hand CSK a killer blow.

Every IPL game offers the participating players a chance to reach certain milestones. Here's a look at three milestones that could be reached in today's DC vs CSK fixture.

#3 Ravindra Jadeja could complete 150 IPL wickets

Star CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could script history tonight and achieve an impressive milestone with the ball.

Having taken 148 wickets at an average of 29.66 and an economy rate of 7.58, Jadeja is just two wickets shy of completing 150 scalps in the IPL.

If he manages to take two or more wickets against DC, Jadeja will become only the seventh spinner and second all-rounder after Dwayne Bravo to achieve the feat.

#2 Rilee Rossouw could complete 8,000 T20 runs

A dominant T20 batter, Rilee Rossouw finally found his feet this season when he scored a brilliant 82* off 36 deliveries in the previous game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).

The stylish left-hander is a renowned T20 star and has mustered 7,933 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of over 144 across 300 innings. Another 67 runs will take Rossouw to 8,000 career T20 runs, thus making him only the fifth South African to achieve the landmark.

#1 David Warner could become DC's second-highest run-getter

A consistent run-getter in the IPL, David Warner has played 81 innings for the Capitals, amassing 2,318 runs at an average of 31.75 and a strike rate of 135. He is currently the fourth-highest run-getter for the franchise.

Virender Sehwag and Shreyas Iyer have scored 2,382 and 2,375 runs respectively for DC. With a score of 65 or higher, Warner will surpass both to go second on the list. Rishabh Pant is the franchise's all-time highest scorer with 2,838 runs.

Interestingly, 2,297 out of Warner's 2,318 runs for DC have come in the IPL, while the remaining 21 came in the Champions League T20.
