🏏IPL 2023: Match 61 - CSK vs KKR on 14/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 5

This could be his last game at chepauk ever but Dhoni never announces anything because that would distract a lot of people and there will be lot of things planned etc.

Just want to keep things simple.

MS is not the usual smiling stuff, he looks tensed/serious.

MS Dhoni: We'll bat first. We've been slightly uncertain about the wicket, and as the tournament has progressed the pitch gets slow. Throughout the years, we have told openers to assess the pitch quickly and find what's a good score. After 6-8 overs we need to revisit our score because the ball loses its shine. I think we have done really well, but fielding is one department where we need to step up.Can improve 5-10%. Same XI for this game.

I dont trust pitch reports anymore but aadat se majboor....

Is it a batting friendly pitch?

Nitish Rana: Would have liked to bat first as well. The deck looks sticky, so would have wanted to bat first and get our spinners in play. I think pressure was there in the first game as well, it is there now as well. Such is the IPL, we can't take it lightly. If any department falters, then 90% the result goes against you. So we need to be clinical in all departments. One change for us - Anukul Roy goes out, Vaibhav Arora comes in.
