Earlier, CSK`s skipper Ruturaj won the toss and elected to bat first against SRH in Chennai.
The Super Kings entered the clash with one change, where Akeal Hosein came in place of Gurjapneet Singh.
After winning the toss, CSK`s skipper Ruturaj said, “We are looking to bat first. Well, it`s nothing complicated, it`s just simple for us. Take it one game at a time, look to win this one, look to start well, look to assess the conditions well and put your best foot forward. (Asking about the pressure in this game) Well, nothing, not as such, it`s just that we have to respect conditions and choose what`s the best for the conditions. And yes, I think batting first looks good here now. (Is MS here?) He`s still here, but he`s not fit enough to play this game. Hopefully we win this one and you`ll have a low in the last game. We got just one change. Akeal comes in for Gurjapneet”.
