IPL 2024: DC vs CSK, Match 13: Who said what at the toss?

Rishabh Pant: We’ll bat first. Wicket looks good, we want to use it as a batting track, put runs on the board. (On playing home games in Vizag) I think it makes a lot of difference, but we practiced here. We came here and got 10 days at this wicket. Two changes – Kuldeep had a niggle, Prithvi Shaw comes in. Ricky Bhui is out, Ishant Sharma comes in.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: First game here, not too much information on this pitch. Let’s see how it goes. The plan remains the same, keep things simple and try to win those individual moments, individual battles. No changes for us, going with the same squad. (On captaincy) I’ve done it for my state side, and for India as well at age group level, plus I have a few experienced guys to help me out.
