CSK, on ​​the other hand, brought in Akeal Hosein and Gurjapneet Singh to make changes to their combination due to injury to Ramakrishna Ghosh.“We will bat first. I think the surface looks good, and we think it is a very good pitch. Maybe it might be a little slower in the second innings, so I would like to give our bowlers the advantage. The way the tournament is going, it is a very important match. But at the same time, it is more important to focus on how you are playing. You can’t think too much about points – if you do, you put extra pressure on yourself. That’s what we are discussing as a team, we just want to play good cricket and the points will decide themselves. We have lost some close matches, but if you look at the season overall, I am happy with the wins and performances. This happens sometimes, but if we talk about cricket, I am very happy with the boys’ batting and bowling. If we had performed better in fielding, we would have been in a stronger position. One change – Lungi Ngidi in place of Kyle Jamieson,” Axar Patel said at the toss.CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “We wanted to bowl first, but the pitch looks a bit dry, so I don’t think there will be much change in it. So batting or bowling first won’t make much difference. There have been some positive signs (on the team’s atmosphere) in the last 2-3 matches.” Even though we haven’t won every game, there are some good positives. We have improved a lot in all departments since the first three matches of the tournament. Our bowling is performing really well and the batting is slowly getting better. We just want to maintain that momentum till the last stage of the tournament. We are really happy to be in this game, especially after the last match. But this is a new game, so we want to start fresh and start well. It is also great to see the youth getting opportunities and moving forward. This is a good sign for the franchise – they are repaying the faith shown by the management. Still a long way to go.”Teams:Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Sanju Samson (w), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Urvil Patel, Karthik Sharma, Dewald Brewis, Jamie Overton, Akeal Hossein, Noor Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapaneet Singh.Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Karun Nair, Tristan Stubbs, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan.
