Captains at toss

GT Captain Shubman Gill: We wanted to bowl first too, but now it's too late here. We have one change. Prasidh comes in place of Sai Kishore. Hopefully we keep our intensity with the ball. The job is not done and hopefully three good games from here.

CSK Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are going to bowl first. There will be some pace and bounce and we want to explore it early on. We have two changes. Gurjapneet comes in for Akeal and Matt Short in place of Veer. It is about trusting the process and we didn't get the reuslts our way. We want to keep it simple and turn it around.
