Narine may have 192 problems but owning Csk ain’t one of them.— S H A H I D OFFLINE (@Irfy_Pathaan56) May 14, 2023
After winning the toss, CSK captain Dhoni had predicted spin to play an important role.
“We’ve been slightly uncertain about the wicket, and as the tournament has progressed the pitch gets slow,” MSD said after winning the toss.
“Throughout the years, we have told openers to assess the pitch quickly and find what’s a good score. After 6-8 overs we need to revisit our score because the ball loses its shine,” he had added.
KKR skipper Nitish Rana too had stressed on the role of a spinner in the game.
“The deck looks sticky, so would have wanted to bat first and get our spinners in play.
