Ajinkya Rahane: We will bat first. Looks a good wicket. Last two games we batted first and did really well. We want to put runs on the board and defend it. What's important is taking one game at a time. Not thinking much about the future.

Is it a high or low scoring pitch?

CSK - team changes - Conway and Urvill Patel IN....

KKR - Venkatesh Iyer out and Manish IN

Rahane says it looks like a very good wicket. Reckons they have batted first really well, and that is what they want to do tonight and then defend it. Taking it one game at a time has been the chat in their practice sessions. There have been lots of learnings from the previous games and the team is raring to go, he mentions. Important to be confident, he adds, and says that they have improved in all departments. One change for KKR - Venkatesh Iyer misses out because he has stitches on his hand, with Manish Pandey replacing him.

Conway is back

MS Dhoni: I have played a lot of cricket here while growing up, like a home ground for the amount of cricket I have played here. When it was Zonal trophy, a few office leagues, overall I have played a lot of cricket here and nearby. What's important is to get answers for the next year. What hasn't gone well for us in the tournament. Trying to get those answers, our middle order batting and bowling solutions. We are giving chances to players, but we want a good playing XI or XII. You can try such things towards the end.What players will slot in. They have two quality spinners, so it will be a challenge.Conway and Urvil Patel come in for Rasheed and Curran.
