In a significant development, Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in their fourth group-stage fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. 

At toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins revealed that they have made two changes, bringing in T Natarajan and Nitish Kumar Reddy for Washington Sundar and Mayank Agarwal, respectively. 

Meanwhile, the Super Kings have two forced changes, with Maheesh Theekshana and Moeen Ali replacing the unavailable Mustafizur Rahman and an injured Matheesha Pathirana. 

At toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins said, 

"We are gonna bowl first. Yeah, it looks like a good wicket. I think it will probably say the same for the whole match. It's a few games. Still trying to get my head around the impact player, but, I mean, we've got a great squad, so consistency is always the aim."

Meanwhile, Cummins' CSK counterpart Ruturaj Gaikwad emphasised having a good dressing room environment heading to this clash. 

"So far, so good. Yes, we lost the last game but we were close. Everyone is in a good head space and that's more important. Nothing changes. I have done captaincy before. So, nothing changes. I just want to free myself and be at my best," he said.
