Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni revealed the big news that their premier all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was not available for selection in this match against Delhi Capitals. Dhoni noted that Jadeja is not fit for the today IPL match. The Chennai Super Kings have brought back Shivam Dube in the playing XI.

“We would have bowled first looking at our combination. But toss is not in our control. We had a bad season earlier but we made the most of it. It really helped us. When there are a few changes after a big auction, sometimes you need to see what is the best combination. Jaddu is not fit and Dube comes in,” said Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni at the toss.
