Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has won the toss and elected to bat first against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match No. 63 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The contest will start at 07:30 pm IST. Toss Decision - Captain's Comments & Reasoning "We will bat first.
It is a dry wicket, and with no dew around, we are looking to post a total. The ball will stop a bit, and in the last game against Mumbai, the wicket was not good to bat on in the second innings. We will take one game at a time. You have to respect the conditions, and batting fits look good here.
MS Dhoni is here, but he is not fit enough to play here. Hopefully, he will play the last game," Ruturaj Gaikwad said. SRH skipper Pat Cummins would have bowled first had he won the toss, and he got what he wanted as CSK are batting first. He is not worried about the conditions and is looking forward to the game.
"We are looking for qualifications. It was good to have a six-day break. In T20 cricket, you can't drop your guard. The mood has been great, and we know how we play.
The guys are looking forward to the game. We would have bowled first had we won the toss, but you can't say much about the wickets," he said.
