MS isn't there.....

PITCH REPORT - Former Aussie batter, Simon Katich, is pitchside. Katich starts by saying that bowling from the VVS Laxman end, the square boundaries are 63 meters and 67 meters on either side, and 77 meters in front. Former Protea pacer, Dale Steyn, joins him and says that there is no blade of grass on this deck, but it is incredibly hard and it is the same surface used in the last game. Feels that as a batting unit you need to go hard on this deck, but as a bowling unit you need to play aggressive cricket against aggressive cricket and not get defensive too soon.

Csk won the toss and will bowl first.

I changed CSK to SRH last moment for toss

We get ready for the toss now. Captains head out to the middle. Gaikwad calls tail and calls correctly: CSK will bowl first.

Finally a toss win for Rutu.

Csk should have batted first. They won while batting first only

And SRH puts huge score batting first.

Toss win means match loss

CSK gunning for the hat-trick - Ruturaj Gaikwad leads a balanced Yellow Brigade that has seen Sanju Samson and young Ayush Mhatre find their rhythm at the perfect time and the Super Kings have managed to win a couple of games on the trot after losing their first 3 matches. CSK continue to suffer from injury blows, though, as Khaleel Ahmed is now ruled out for the entire season. With MS Dhoni still on the sidelines, a lot will reside on the shoulders of Shivam Dube in that middle order. With both teams looking to move up the points table and stabilize their season, this encounter is set to be a fascinating one. We can expect some high-octane hitting from both sides and it might be the bowling that ends up being the decisive factor.

CSK won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Ishan Kishan: I think we would have batted first. Looks like a good wicket so we want to put up a good total.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are going to bowl first. Looks a really good track, won't change much so we look to chase. Good to be up from the bottom. From the second game we started doing the basics right. The key is to be consistent. Last game I felt Noor bowled really well and good to have him back on track and even Anshul bowling really well at the death. In your language it looks like a belter but we got to assess it.
