As
for
team
news,
CSK
have
made
several
changes
with
Robin
Uthappa,
Ambati
Rayudu,
Dwayne
Bravo
and
Maheesh
Theekshana
making
way
for
Mitchell
Santner,
Narayan
Jagadeesan
and
couple
of
debutants
in
Sri
Lanka
pacer
Matheesha
Pathirana
and
uncapped
leg-spinner
Prashant
Solanki.
GT,
meanwhile,
remain
unchanged
from
their
victory
over
Lucknow
Super
Giants
with
R
Sai
Kishore
and
Matthew
Wade
keeping
their
place
in
the
side.
After
opting
to
bat
first,
MS
Dhoni
skipper
said:
“We
will
bat
first.
It’s
very
hot.
The
wickets
have
been
used
quite
a
bit
so
it
will
slow
down.
Hope
it
stays
the
same
throughout
or
slows
down
in
the
second
half
of
the
game.”
On
the
positives
so
far
and
team
news,
Dhoni
added:
“Theekshana
the
way
he
has
come
in
and
contributed.
Conway
at
the
top
order
have
been
positives.
We
have
a
lot
of
changes.
Robbie,
Rayudu,
Bravo,
Theekshana
are
missing.
Jaggi,
Solanki,
Santner,
Matheesha
are
playing.”
GT
captain
Hardik
Pandya
said:
“We
would
have
batted
first
too.
There
are
two
options.
We
can
come
in
tpday
and
let
things
drift
away
and
the
second
thing
is
we
can
show
we
can
play
like
a
number
one
team,
show
our
character
no
mater
what
the
pitch
or
the
heat
is
like.
Same
team
for
us.”
This
will
be
the
2nd
meeting
between
the
two
sides
in
IPL
2022.
It
was
GT,
who
pulled
off
a
big
run
chase
against
CSK
at
the
MCA
Stadium
in
Pune
earlier
this
season,
riding
on
a
late
partnership
between
stand-in
skipper
Rashid
Khan
and
David
Miller.
Now,
the
two
teams
will
clash
at
the
Wankhede
Stadium,
where
CSK
has
won
2
of
their
5
matches,
while
GT
has
won
2
of
2.
However,
in
IPL
2022,
CSK
don’t
possess
a
good
record
at
the
venue,
losing
3
in
3.
The
pitches
at
the
Wankhede
has
slightly
favoured
the
chasing
team
this
season
in
the
16
matches
played
so
far
with
the
team
batting
second
winning
the
match
9
times
at
the
venue,
where
the
team
batting
first
has
won
7.

a
day
after
his
retirement
drama
As
it
is
an
afternoon
match,
dew
won’t
be
an
issue
for
the
team
bowling
second,
meaning
captains
winning
the
toss
will
prefer
to
bat
first
in
the
hot
conditions.
Here
is
Danny
Morrison’s
take
on
what
sort
of
wicket
is
in
store
for
Sunday
(May
15).
Wankhede
Stadium
Pitch
Report:
Morrison
said
–
“There
is
a
shorter
(60m)
side
boundary
on
the
eastern
side.
The
pacers
do
get
bounce
but
the
spinners
get
turn
because
of
this
famous
red
soil
here
at
the
Wankhede.
“The
pitch
is
dry
and
there
is
some
grass
to
hold
it
together.
If
the
spinners
get
it
right
they
could
be
a
challenge.
Day
games
the
spinners
can
have
a
say,
possibly
more
than
the
pacers.”
