Given the evening start time, the potential for dew later in the night could influence tactical decisions at the toss. Dew typically makes the ball harder for spinners to grip during the second innings, which often prompts the captain winning the toss to elect to bowl first. Delhi Capitals arrive with strong momentum following early-season success, while Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK will be eager to utilise their familiarity with the Chepauk surface to turn their season around.
