CSK vs KKR: Chepauk Pitch Report

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is still likely to support spinners, even though it's seen some changes lately, something CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has highlighted. That said, spin should still have an impact. Teams batting first have won 2 out of the 3 matches so far, and there's also a bit of early help for the Pacers. Dew remains a factor, but with the new ball rule in play, it hasn’t been influencing most matches significantly. All in all, winning the toss and opting to bowl first seems like the smarter call.
