MS Dhoni speaks at the toss
CSK Captain MS Dhoni: Most of the players play together, we play as rivals too, that’s the beauty of IPL. That has allowed us to understand the overseas players better. It’s (bio-bubble) the case with all the teams. The only option you have is spending time in the team room. You can’t meet anyone from the outside, there is less distractions also. That’s a good thing in this IPL. It can be harsh, but it’s amazing the fact that you can remain within the team environment. We need to get points, but desperation is something where you don’t want to be. Desperation pushes you to commit more errors on the field. It’s an important game for us. We have committed a few errors, need to focus on the process. I have been doing well in the nets, it’s important to replicate it out in the middle. We have one change - Jagadeesan in place of Kedar Jadhav.

Virat Kohli at the toss
RCB captain Virat Kohli: We’ll bat first. We backed our decision last game as well, but we got ourselves into a tough position not having enough partnerships. The wicket is going to get slower and slower. There wasn’t much dew in the last game as well. It’s fair enough to defend today. We won two times batting first and one convincing win while chasing. When you are playing against quality sides, you need to come out and play good cricket. We (him and Dhoni) have played together for so long, we have great partnership together. The games (RCB vs CSK) are always competitive. We have all had mutual respect between us. It’s important to get into some kind of momentum, where the bowlers come in and bowl a certain way. We have a great chance to create it now. It’s an exciting phase we are entering into. Chris Morris makes his RCB debut. He replaces Moeen Ali and Gurkeerat Singh Mann comes back in for Siraj.

Brian Lara thinks CSK need a new finisher
Brian Lara on Star Sports: “It’s a bit puzzling (Dhoni inability to finish). You feel that he has created that position where he can be flexible with himself but I think he needs to maybe look at some other players.”
“He (Dhoni) is a great finisher, no doubt about that. But things are not going right for him and I believe, some of the other players, look at Jadeja how he batted today, he came in when their chances were very slim. So, something he will have to work on, have steadier stuff.” READ MORE

Excerpt from AB de Villiers HT Column
“We have made a decent start, winning three of our first five games, but we know we can play better, and be more consistent with bat and ball.
CSK will be tough opponents today in Dubai. They field a team full of superstars, but we see this match as an opportunity to make a statement. If we can bring everything together and produce a strong all-round performance, we will take momentum and real confidence into this intense series of matches. Consistency is the key.
At times, our batting has been below par. At times, we have not bowled as well as we would wish. And, at times, we have fielded poorly and dropped too many catches. If we are to overcome CSK, and achieve our ambitions in this tournament, we need to find consistency in all areas.”
