New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) Faf du Plessis won the toss and invited Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to bat first at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, April 17.

Captains’ thought

“Incredible noise!! We will bowl first. I think the nature of pitches will turn, but 180-200 will be a nice target to change. It is quite a small ground and the ball travels, the surface is good and a little bit of dew could help. No changes in our starting XI but got some tricks up our sleeve for the impact player,” RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said at the toss.

“The toss does matter because this is a venue where it is difficult to contain batters in the second innings. And not to forget dew. I think what’s important is not looking ahead, maybe 180-200 is a par score but we need to keep re-evaluating every 3-4 overs on where we stand and what would be a good total to get to. That is a better way to approach, rather than keeping a total in mind. One change – Magala is injured and Pathirana comes in. The good think is all the players who have come in to replace guys have performed well. But these injuries haven’t been ideal, but that’s what happens because the IPL comes at the end of the cricket season,” CSK skipper MS Dhoni said at toss.
