The wicket is going to get slower and slower. There wasn't much dew in the last game as well. It's fair enough to defend today. We won two times batting first and one convincing win while chasing. When you are playing against quality sides, you need to come out and play good cricket. We (him and Dhoni) have played together for so long, we have great partnership together. The games (RCB vs CSK) are always competitive. We have all had mutual respect between us. It's important to get into some kind of momentum, where the bowlers come in and bowl a certain way. We have a great chance to create it now. It's an exciting phase we are entering into. Chris Morris makes his RCB debut. He replaces Moeen Ali and Gurkeerat Singh Mann comes back in for Siraj.

19:14 IST: CSK captain MS Dhoni: It's (bio-bubble) the case with all the teams. You can't meet anyone from the outside, there is less distractions also. That's a good thing. It can be harsh, but it's amazing you can remain with the team. We need to get points. It's an important game for us. We have committed a few errors, need to focus on process. I have been doing well in the nets, need to replicate it out in the middle. We have one change - Jagadeesan in place of Kedar Jadhav

19:08 IST: Here is the playing XI for the two sides...
