Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 8 (ANI): Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant won the toss against Chennai Super Kings and chose to field first here at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Shivam Dubey will replace an unfit Ravindra Jadeja for CSK.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant said at the toss, "I think the wicket is on the decent side. We want to chase. The season has been up and down. We are focussing on the positives. It is going to be a good match. I have learned a lot from him. Let's see how I execute them.
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni said at the toss, "We would have bowled first looking at our combination. We had a bad season earlier but we made the most of it. It really helped us.
