Dhoni said that the track at Chepauk is quite better than the last few seasons.
“We will bat first. We have played a few games on this wicket. There are chances of this wicket slowing down. We can’t complain about this track. We try to keep it simple. We try to keep reiterating the same thing. Try to accomplish your plan. Try to execute your plans. We have one change. Rayudu comes in for Dube,” Dhoni said at the toss.
While Delhi also made a big change in their side as Manish Pandey sat out to make way for Lalit Yadav as they decided to play with an extra bowling option in the line-up.
“Looks a little bit dry. The boys have come out with the right attitude. We had to work on our powerplay batting. Try and execute on this wicket as much as you can. Lalit comes in for Manish Pandey,” Warner said at the toss.
