Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl first
Meanwhile, talking about the game, the home team, Bangalore has won the toss and elected to bowl first.
"To some extent, the toss does matter as it gets hard to contain batters later. The dew makes it difficult to know what a good first-innings score is. We don't want to think too far ahead. We need to get a good start and assess things periodically. One change: Pathirana comes in for Magala. The injuries have affected the squad, but the new players coming in have done well," MS Dhoni, CSK skipper said at the toss.
"The nature of the rule change makes 180 feel less as a par score and that 200 is needed. It's a small ground and the surface is good. There's some dew which makes it harder to defend. No change to the starting XI but we might have a trick up the sleeve for the impact player," said Faf du Plessis, RCB skipper
Teams:
Subs: Suyash Prabhudessai, David WIlley, Akash Deep, Karn Sharma, Anuj Rawat
