Meanwhile Gaikwad has been tagged to lead out the CSK side as the new captain. In addition, Conway and Pathirana missed out through injuries, while Rachin and Mitchell came into the squad. Gaikwad mentioned how the pitch looks a dry one, with a good hard surface, which will be the same in the second innings as well. With a fantastic mix of overseas and local talent on the side, with newcomer Sameer Rizvi also making his debut for CSK.
