Despite the unfavorable toss, MS Dhoni achieved his desired outcome upon returning as captain of the Chennai Super Kings. The team was instructed to bat first on the identical field where their previous match occurred. As anticipated, CSK made two changes: Rahul Tripathi replaced Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is unable to continue playing due to an elbow injury, and Anshul Kamboj took over for Mukesh Choudhary (6-0-71-1).
The Kolkata Knight Riders boast a strong batting line-up, which is why Ajinkya Rahane was keen on chasing. Additionally, Moeen Ali will be making a comeback into the XI, an evident choice due to his offspin abilities that are well-suited against their opponents’ abundance of left-handed batsmen. Both Moeen and Rahane have previous experience playing at this ground, having been part of CSK’s victorious campaign in 2023.
The Chennai Super Kings lineup includes Devon Conway at number 1, Rachin Ravindra at number 2, Rahul Tripathi at number 3, Shivam Dube at number 4, Vijay Shankar at number 5, and Ravindra Jadeja at number 6. Captain MS Dhoni will also be taking on the role of wicketkeeper. R Ashwin comes in at number 8 followed by Noor Ahmad at number 9 and Anshul Kamboj at number 10. Khaleel Ahmed rounds out the lineup as the final player in the Chennai Super Kings team.
