What the captains said after the draw:
The RR Steve Smith pattern: “I probably would have bowled too. The spray factor as MS just pointed out will come into play. Hit first and hopefully we’ll get it right. It took a little longer than I would have liked. I had my first I hit yesterday and it went well for me. Me, Tom Curran, Archer and Miller. I’ve been involved with the Royals since 2014, it’s been a while with a few years out. We have a good group, good groups of guys, a lot of talent and we’re excited about this year. I’ve heard a lot (about the youngsters) in the last few weeks. The guys have tried exceptionally well here and have done a great job. So it’s time to bring out hopefully we can see some really good talent take off. “
Captain of CSK MS Dhoni: “We’ll go bowling first. Dew is one of the factors. What we’ve seen is a constant amount of dew everywhere, as long as there is a question mark about dew you want to chase. I think this is a place where wicket will be completely different compared to the other two places. People will prepare differently for matches here. As of now it looks good, but it will slow down as the match progresses. I don’t know how hard the surface is below. has a change: Rayudu is not 100 percent, so Rituraj comes in his place. Adaptability is the key in the shorter format. You have to quickly judge what length to throw on that particular surface and for that hitter on Those are things we need to do, other than that, we won’t be the best fielding team, we will be a safe fielding side. “

Launch report:
“We saw grass in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. There is no grass in this wicket. I can’t predict any lateral movement. You will think of a low rebound when you prepare to play this wicket. Once you hit the pace of the wicket, you can score quickly. It is a very small field compared to those in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Therefore, the player who wins the draw will like to chase. “ – Kevin Pietersen
* Launch at 7 pm IST and the match will start at 7:30 pm IST
