IPL 2024: CSK vs SRH, Match 46: Who said what at the toss?

Pat Cummins: We’re going to bowl. Absolutely, you can see why it’s pretty loud here. Boys are pretty pumped up. We’ve got Bhuvi who’s a very nice new ball bowler, I just fill in wherever required. We’re going with one extra batter, Markande misses out. We’ve looked to bowl first, maybe dew comes into it later in the evening.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: (On being happy with batting first) Not really. Was hoping to win the toss, nothing we can control much. If we put up runs against them they’ll definitely be under pressure. We have just lost those clutch moments in the game, just 2-3 overs while batting when we couldn’t capitalise. Even with bowling, we haven’t gotten those starts in the powerplay and sometimes when we’ve got that we haven’t been able to finish off well. Overall, we’re happy with where we are but we’re just looking to win those clutch moments.
