Meanwhile, CSK won the toss and Dhoni opted to bat first expecting the wicket to slow down as the game progresses.
“Heat is a factor and the wicket may slow down,” Dhoni said at the toss.
CSK has played five matches and won four, while RCB is unbeaten after four games. This promises to be nothing short of a humdinger.
