<h2>Who won the toss?</h2>

<p>While Dhoni was making his 20th appearance as CSK skipper, he meant business in the game and chose to bowl when he won the toss. Chennai have made a decent start to the IPL campaign and are looking to add a record-equaling fifth IPL title to their trophy cabinet. The Yellow Army last won the competition in 2021, while Dhoni could also go level with Rohit Sharma for most titles won as an IPL skipper if he wins the competition this term.</p>

<p>CSK made wholesale changes to the side as they brought in Mahesh Theekshana and Moeen Ali in the Playing XI in place of Mitchell Santner and Dwayne Pretorius. CSK have so far win two of the three matches in the current season and a win on Wednesday, will see them pick early pace for a playoff spot.</p>

<p><strong>Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): </strong>Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Sisanda Magala, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Singh.</p>
