Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in the 46th match of the 2022 Indian Premier League in Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday.

“We are going to bowl first. For us we have done it something well, we’ll try to make use of the conditions with the ball. It was a close game, today is another opportunity as a team. We are playing with the same team,” SRH skipper Kane Williamson said after winning the toss.

The game sees the return of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the skipper of CSK after Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday relinquished the role following the side’s six losses in eight matches in the ongoing edition of IPL. Jadeja’s own game had also suffered due to the pressure that comes with leadership responsibility as he has scored only 112 runs and taken five wickets in the eight games so far.

“You’ll definitely see me in the yellow jersey, whether it is this one, or some other one, you never know. You need to realise the current situation. We have dropped catches, those are the things you want to omit. Those are the areas you need to work on. We have a couple of changes. Bravo and Dube are out. Devon and Simarjeet Singh are in,” MS Dhoni said.
