MS Dhoni, the skipper of Chennai Super Kings says that they would have bowled first as well, dew being the main factor. Adds that they have lacked in all the departments, and chances are, you put pressure on other players. Mentions that they need to keep the process right and give confidence to the young players. Says they do not want to look very far ahead and take one game at a time. Further adds that the wicket here has not been the same after it was relaid in 2010. Tells that the ground staff have tried their best, but it hasn't quite happened. Informs Dewald Brevis and Deepak Hooda come in for Rachin Ravindra and Vijay Shankar.

Pat Cummins, the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, says Chennai has always been a good game, and despite the last few losses, this is a new venue and a new challenge.
