Pitch report

"Graeme Swann to Star Sports: Perhaps, because it was played on last night and has had an extra day of sunshine, the pitch is very, very dry. Already a little bit dusty. This is going to spin. For the seam bowlers, there's not a great deal on this pitch.

Seamers - avoid digging in, it's just not going to work for you. Batting first, if they can get 170-180, that's very defendable. The ground staff are treating the outfield again, so dew won't be as big a problem as it has been earlier on in the IPL."

Captains' comments

Ravindra Jadeja, CSK Captain: We would have bowled first as well, looking at the wicket. We'll look to come here and play competitive cricket. The toss is not going our way, something that's not going out way. As a team every game is important. We'll try to fight it out and clinch our first win hopefully. We are going with the same team.

Faf du Plessis, RCB Captain: We are going to have a bowl. Going with the trend of the tournament, win the toss and bowl. I know them, but they also know me very well. It's like playing against my brothers today. We have been good with the ball, we need to improve with the last two overs. Josh Hazlewood is back, excited to see what he will do with the new ball.
