Chennai captain MS Dhoni confirmed that his team was unchanged from Sunday's 20-run win over Mumbai Indians. "There are a few wet patches, but it has dried out slightly. It's a small ground and there was dew the last time we played."

Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli said that Tim David and Navdeep Saini were in the eleven in place of Sachin Baby and Kyle Jamieson. David becomes the first cricketer from Singapore to play in the IPL. "The wicket looks nice and hard. Don't think it'll change a lot. A few more runs would be nice."
