Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have opted to field
MS Dhoni: “We will bowl first. It looks from the top, but when you rub the hand, it’s slightly wet. It’s a tough ground to defend. We have got equal amount of support. It’s rare, when you come to Bangalore, you don’t get this kind of support. It’s good, generally it’s a good crowd in Bangalore. I never felt it’s about a personal rivarly. Couple of changes. Karn and Faf make way for Harbhajanand Imran Tahir.”
Virat Kohli: “Good to see the mix of yellow and red. Looking forward to the game. CSK have played some good cricket. We need to keep playing the kind of cricket we played in the last game. We have two changes as well. Pawan Negi replaces Manan Vohra, Colin de Grandhomme is playing in place of Chris Woakes.”
