Speaking at toss, Pat Cummins said, “We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket and should stay the same for the whole match. We’ve got a great squad. Mayank Agarwal is unwell, he’s replaced by Nitish Reddy. Last time, there were 500 runs scored, this looks like a good wicket as well.”
CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “It’s going pretty well, the group is responding well. Nothing much changed for me, obviously, this is a new challenge, but I’m feeling good.
