CSK vs RR: Captains' Thoughts

Sanju Samson: "We will bowl first. Looking at the last game between DC and Gujarat Titans, there was something in the wicket and 2nd innings got very better. We've been not chasing very better but there is no hiding in this game. We will put our chest out and we feel we are going to do it today.

MS Dhoni: "I think we have already started that process. When it comes to our batting department, we want to express ourselves. That's what we did in the last few games. We want to move ahead with it. Bowling, we have gone for some runs. Maybe we need one extra bowler who can bowl after the powerplay. We have done well in the last couple of games and we want to continue in the same way.
