After winning the toss, MI captain Hardik Pandya said leg-spinner Raghu Sharma gets his debut while Krish Bhagat returns to the playing eleven. Raghu, though, will come in as an Impact Player in MI\u2019s second innings. He was a support bowler with MI last year and was drafted in late last season as a replacement player.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLooks like a good track. The way we batted in the last game, we want to give our batters another opportunity to score runs. We have to play our best cricket and see what happens. The mood has been good; it's been challenging. We have to fight. It's about playing for pride as well. Play good cricket overall. In 40 overs, we've lost the game in 2-3 overs, which were big moments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad said pace bowling all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh comes in for Gurjapneet Singh, while Prashant Veer replaces Akeal Hosein. \u201cWe were looking to bat first. The wicket looks good, a little bit on the drier side, won't change much. A tough track to bat on, last game. Confidence-wise, everyone is right up there. Stick to the process, do the process right, and the result will come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
