Chennai Super Kings have won the toss in the season opener for IPL 2020 and have elected to field first.
CSK captain MS Dhoni feels confident about chasing down a total with his experienced team. The fact that the second innings would be played under the lights must have played a part in that decision as well.
“Watto, Faf, Sam and Lungi,” are the four overseas players says Dhoni.
Quinton, Pollard, Pattinson and Trent Boult are Mumbai’s four overseas players. Coulter-Nile a bit of time away from full fitness.
.@ImRo45: Before coming here, we had a little camp in Mumbai. We've spent quality time here. We have practised on wickets similar to what we're expecting.#OneFamily #MumbaiIndians #MI #Dream11IPL #MIvCSK
