Dubai, Oct 13: Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 here on Tuesday (October 13).
It is going to be a must-win game for both the teams as they are still languishing at the bottom half of the points table.
After winning the toss, Dhoni said: We're batting first. Yes, for a change. Last few games we wanted to bat first, but never got the opportunity. The thing with stats is that you can get it any way you want to. It's a process and it's quicker if the guys buy into it, and follow the process. As I said, each game will have new problems. Today it will be about how we counter the shorter boundary one on the side. Cricket is very close to life and it doesn't always go the way you want. It teaches you what you want to follow as a process. 2010 ended on a happy note but we can't just rely on that. One change - Piyush Chawla in for N Jagadeesan. We thought about him (Tahir) but the combination isn't letting us."
Sunrisers Hyderabad David Warner, "Yes, that's probably how everybody is going around these days. Interested to see how the wicket is going to play. There is a bigger boundary on one side and need to make the batters play there. The easiest thing to do is to forget about it (the previous loss). I'm really enjoying it (captaincy) and having Kane also helps. Really enjoying the group that we have. One change - Shahbaz Nadeem in for Abhishek Sharma."
