IPL started in 2008 but we've not played a lot of cricket here. Only about 5-6 seasons we've been here. This is the first time the full stadium will be operational, a few stands were empty earlier. Really glad that we get to play all our home games here at Chepauk, means a lot. Same squad for this game. Need to keep assessing our situation and keep revisiting our targets, keep a realistic goal in mind and take it from there.
We'll bowl first. We want to know what we are chasing. It was a really good performance against DC, all parts of the game we did well. We need to turn up again today andbetter those performances. Jaydev Unadkat misses out, Yash Thakur comes in. Today, we need to assess the conditions well and find the right lengths early. Get the batters out early and then hope there is a bit of dew, dew factor is always there in Chennai.
LSG won the toss and have opted to bowl. It's time for CSK to bat first.
Expecting a good atmosphere here in Chennai, everyone has been looking forward to this day. (On batting position) In a new franchise, you have the accept the role you have been given and perform as best you can. Every batter would say the higher up you are the better, but I've been given that responsibility to bat at number 4. (On being fit to bowl) Yeah, everything is coming out nicely. I've worked very hard to get to the place that I'm at this moment with my knee, so might be able to turn the arm over tonight. (On Chepauk) I've not played too many games here, so I've tried to understand the easy ways we can bat here and how to bowl. Spin is going to come into the game more here than in Ahmedabad.
MS Dhoni set to return to Chepauk after a long wait of 1427 days.
