The KKR openers Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir are coming in while Dhoni leads his team through the red carpet with fireworks on either side.
Pat Cummins is in for Sunil Narine while CSK are unchanged
MS Dhoni wins the toss and CSK will bowl first. Gambhir says he would have bowl first too.
Both the captains are ready for the toss.
In the absence of Sunil Narine, all eyes will be on Kuldeep Yadav who recently had his maiden call-up for Team India squad for first three West Indies ODIs. But this might give some comfort to the Chennai batsmen. The question is whether he will play today for KKR or will he be replaced? He can only be replaced by Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar or Pat Cummins. We'll get to know at the time of toss.
The two IPL giants Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings are once again taking on each other after the IPL 2012 final where Kolkata crushed Chennai to win their maiden title. Can they repeat that feat here too?
