We are not far away from the action at Chepauk. The players are out in the huddle as we are nearing the first ball. 

It's hot but there's a small breeze. 64m and 70m side boundaries, 78m down the ground," Matthew Hayden says in the pitch report. "It is beautiful to look at, typically what you get at Chepauk. There's not a blade of grass and it's rolled into the pitch and underneath it's quite firm. You have to come here and adapt to the conditions. The heat is one thing and the surface is another. It might play a bit two-paced, particularly for batters just coming in to start their innings. Got to get a partnership going, get the twos into those gaps. The power for me is in the partnerships. That's when you can post the bigger scores," Eoin Morgan joins to say.

We were looking to bat as well. Looks a bit dry. It's a bit cloudy, won't change much. You always want momentum in T20 cricket. Overall, the chat has been positive. Fielding is something which we can improve day by day. We want to be proactive. Elbow is good. Conway comes in for Overton. Mukesh comes in from Tripathi.

We are going to bat first. Feels like there'll be help for the bowlers. Expect it to get slower as the game progresses. In our team, we have a few players who have captained other franchises and that helps me a lot. Same combination. Faf is not fit for this game, Sameer Rizvi is playing.

So, the toss news coming. Axar has woin the toss and he has decided that DC will be batting first.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's participation is in doubt after he picked up an elbow injury during CSK's last game against RR. If he does not play, MS Dhoni could be back leading CSK.
