* Today's the third occassion in IPL, when only six overseas players are featuring in a match. The previous two occassions were: CSK (4) vs KKR (2) in Chennai, 2011 and DC (3) vs RCB (3) in Delhi, 2017.

MS Dhoni: "Chennai was completely different, this would be slightly different. I think it would be a good wicket. I think all the venues are great in India. We have played a lot of games here but all the venues are pretty special. We were looking to bowl first, we don't exactly know how the wicket behaves. It looks a bit tacky."

Shreyas Iyer: "Everything is new at the moment. The fans are coming and cheering for us. The positive vibe is contagious in the team. We will have a bat first. We are looking for 170-180, it plays (the wicket) slow in the second innings. It's a good toss to win."
