Welcome back! Ben Stokes and Robin Uthappa to start the RR chase. Deepak Chahar with the ball for CSK.
Shreyas Gopal (4-0-14-1):“There was a bit of a spin before, I’m not sure what it will be like now. More than a spin, I was holding on. You had to shoot slowly and make it harder for them to hit the ball, and that was the plan with Tewatia. We understand the bowling from others. He’s doing well, just a small complaint. Hopefully it’s a pursueable target. We need to take the game as deep as possible with terrain in hand; that should be the best way to tackle this chase.
20 on: CSK 125/5

We have to bowl first, restrain them and chase them. We’ll see how. come on (about his batting position) I found a bit of a rhythm the other day that was nice and hopefully he can continue. We have a change: Rajpoot replaces Unadkat.“
MS Dhoni:“We will hit first. It is a used wicket and it is likely to decrease as the game progresses. It will not be available for the next games. Injuries are not only our concern, but also the other franchises, that is because the players do not They’ve been playing for a long time. You talked about it and that’s how I found out. It’s just a number. I’ve been lucky to have played so many games. We have a couple of changes: Hazlewood and Chawla in. “

Launch report:
“It’s the same field that was used yesterday, so the dimensions don’t change either. Teams will be looking towards that short 63 meter boundary and there is also a short straight 59 meter boundary. It looks much drier than yesterday, there is a layer uneven turf that will favor bowlers. Average first inning score here is 167 “ – Daren Ganga and JP Duminy
