Rising Pune Supergiants have won the toss and opted to bat

Suresh Raina: We would have batted first too. I will leave after a month [paternal leave], but right now me and MS have played so many matches together, we played the final together for CSK and the crowd is looking forward to seeing MS, and us too. We have 3 changes today. Tambe comes in for Sangwan, Jakati is in, and Akshdeep Nath replaces Ishan Kishan.

MS Dhoni: We are batting first. There is a bit of grass cover which will make sure that the wicket stays together. Towards one end, there is a bald patch which might scuff up. It's a pretty good wicket, so no real need to make any change
