Tristan Stubbs and Lungi Ngidi headline South African interest as Delhi Capitals face Chennai Super Kings, with the visitors arriving in stronger early-season form.
Stubbs adds middle-order depth for Delhi, while Ngidi has been effective at the death, combining wicket-taking ability with control in key overs. Their roles have supported a side that has started the season with balance across both departments.

Chennai, in contrast, are bottom of the table after three defeats. Their top-order struggles have exposed the middle order early, with limited recovery in recent matches.
