Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have opted to field
MS Dhoni: I think it was one of the great comebacks. We had our challenges and we overcame them to win the trophy. We will be roaring for sure but basics are very important. We will bowl first. We are not sure about the wicket. It is first game of the tournament so we are not sure of the target to set.
Virat Kohli: We would have bowled too. There was lot of dew in the last few days. I will open the innings today with Parthiv Patel. Our four foreign players are ABD, Hetmyer, Moeen Ali and CDG. Either ABD or Moeen will bat at three, depending on the situation of the match.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Parthiv Patel(w), Virat Kohli(c), Moeen Ali, AB de Villiers, Shimron Hetmyer, Shivam Dube, Colin de Grandhomme, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini
