While talking about the possible team changes for Chennai Super Kings, Aakash Chopra pointed out that there is very little scope for change in the batting lineup with Ambati Rayudu still indisposed.
On the bowling front, he observed that Chennai Super Kings could opt for Josh Hazlewood instead of Lungi Ngidi, considering the mauling the latter received at the hands of Jofra Archer in the previous match.
The reputed commentator mentioned that although Chennai Super Kings might want to include Imran Tahir in their playing XI, the team balance will not afford them that option.

From the Delhi Capitals’ perspective, Aakash Chopra stated that the franchise would have to take a call on Ravichandran Ashwin’s availability for today’s match.
He also said that he hopes the Delhi-based franchise plays Avesh Khan or Harshal Patel ahead of Mohit Sharma in case Ishant Sharma is still not fit to play.
