Captains View
MS Dhoni | CSK Captain
We will bowl first. It stops a bit initially. And it’s one of the venues where toss doesn’t matter much because it’s an open ground so the dew sets in pretty late. We are a side set for both ways (bat or bowl first).
But it’s important to play good cricket on the day. We will look to chase today. One change, in place of Santner we have Moeen. We have had good partnerships and we want to be more consistent with it every game and try to keep the big overs away with the ball.
We have given away big overs when we have bowled. So those are the two areas we would like to work on. Everybody who plays cricket knows that we have to improve our catching.
Faf du Plessis | RCB Captain
Not sure about the toss to be honest. It looks a better wicket. We were considering batting first tonight. The last game we made some steps, good batting performance, probably 10 runs short. But it was definitely the confidence we wanted to see in the guys coming in and scoring. Same team for us.

I think in the first over, the slower balls I tried to bowl it into the wicket but it kind of floated on to the bat. I have been trying to improve my seqeuncing. I am glad I was able to come back.
To both the left-handers, I was asked to bowl wide outside off so that they hit to the larger side of the ground. One thing is need to be aware of the conditions and then what the batter is trying to do. Then you should know what kind of balls you can execute.
When people are waiting for the slower balls, my hard length balls and my yorkers are released.
