Now you must be thinking that what is the similarity between them? Why is this an alarm bell for Chennai? The reason for this is the announcement of Delhi Capitals, which was made by the franchise before this match.

This jersey of Delhi Capitals is called ‘Rainbow Jersey’ and the amount received from its auction is donated to the team’s co-owner Jindal Sports’ Inspire Institute to help the players.
Delhi wore this jersey for the first time in the 2020 season and since then it has made a trend to wear it in one match of every season. This rainbow jersey itself is not good news for Chennai. This is because Delhi wore rainbow jersey in all the three matches mentioned above.
What if this happens?
Now if Delhi is successful in maintaining this series, then the tension in Chennai will increase. In case of defeat from Delhi, he will have to depend on the remaining three matches. However, even then his hopes will remain because if any team loses their last match in Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians or Royal Challengers Bangalore, then Chennai will get a playoff ticket.
