Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

Loud cheer for Ruturaj Gaikwad at Chennai; Dewald Brevis returns. MS Dhoni misses out, confirmed by Gaikwad at the toss.

Axar Patel: We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control, once we reach a certain point, there’s no need to overthink things

Ruturaj Gaikwad : “[Would he have bowled as well] Yeah, obviously it is a fresh pitch. Red soil pitch. I feel there would be help in the initial few overs but I think it is a bit on the dry side as well. We were 50-50 on the toss.
