Toss Report: KKR vs CSK
Kolkata: MS Dhoni, captain of Chennai Super Kings, has won the toss and opted to bat first since he feels batting is the team’s strength. Dhoni believes when you bat well, you should put the opposition under pressure by putting up runs.
When asked by Sunil Gavaskar about how it feels to see thousands of fans cheering the rival side he said, “The stands have reduced from last time so there will be a few hundreds less is all I can say. But the IPL is such a tournament that you get egged on by some people and some are not on your side. Still we’ve got a few fans from Chennai in some stands, we will look at them for motivation.”
“The pitch looks good for forty overs and I would have bowled first like last time,” was Sourav Ganguly’s statement, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders. The captaincy battle of Dhoni vs Dada is one to watch out for.
