IPL 2023: CSK skipper MS Dhoni wins toss, opts to bat against DC

NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat against Delhi Capitals (DC) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.

Ambati Rayudu replaced Shivam Dube in the CSK playing XI while DC brought Lalit Yadav in place of Manish Pandey.

"We will bat first. We have played a few games on this wicket. There are chances of this wicket slowing down. We can't complain about this track. We try to keep it simple. We try to keep reiterating the same thing. Try to accomplish your plan. Try to execute your plans. We have one change. Rayudu comes in for Dube," Dhoni said after winning the toss.

"Looks a little bit dry. The boys have come out with the right attitude. We had to work on our powerplay batting. Try and execute on this wicket as much as you can. Lalit comes in for Manish Pandey," DC skipper David Warner said at the toss.
