Taking to the micro-blogging site, Shastri tweeted, "Guru vs Chela. Bahot Maza aayega aaj. Stump Mic suniyega zaroor #DhoniReturns #Pant #IPL2021 #DCvsCSK - @ChennaiIPL @DelhiCapitals." (Master vs Apprentice. It is going to be fun. Do keep listening to the Stump Mic).
The clash of CSK and DC is getting hyped a lot because of Dhoni and Pant. While the 39-year-old CSK captain is on the verge of complete retirement from cricket, the Delhi youngster is on the rise of his career at the moment.
Pant is going to lead Delhi Capitals for this season in the absence of Shreyas Iyer in the side. Iyer has been ruled out of the entire tournament because of a shoulder injury.
