In a video posted by the Delhi Capitals Twitter handle, Shikhar Dhawan said, “MI have played 2-3 games over there (Chennai) and they know the conditions, we will have to switch mentally according to the wicket and prepare the plan likewise. We will just implement our plan, play with positive mindset, aggression and look to win the game against them.”

While, Australian cricketer Marcus Stoinis said that the game against MI would be challenging as the wicket at Chennai is tricky. He said, “They are a very good team, there is going to be a challenge with the surface and they have got a very adaptable team but so do we. So it will be a good contest.”
