New Delhi, Mar 17 (PTI) Their winning streak snapped, Delhi Daredevils will have to sort out shortcomings like poor fielding and listless bowling when they take on injury-hit Chennai Super Kings in their fourth Indian Premier League match here tomorrow. Delhi won both their away matches -- against Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals -- but faltered at home, losing by a whopping 98 runs to Mumbai Indians. Adding to their woes is the hamstring injury to captain Gautam Gambhir, making him a doubtful starter for tomorrow''s match. Gambhir had been on field for barely 10 minutes before the hamstring injury forced him out. Chennai, on the other hand, have played two matches, losing the opener against Deccan Chargers before winning against Kolkata Knight Riders. Chennai will be without talismanic skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who injured his elbow during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Delhi''s campaign had been going perfectly with convincing triumphs over Punjab and Rajasthan until they were blown away by Sachin Tendulkar''s Mumbai. Feroze Shah Kotla, hosting its first major game since being banned for a year following the pitch fiasco during an India-Sri Lanka match last year, turned out to be a batting paradise as Tendulkar and other Mumbai Indians batsmen made merry.
