NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to field first against Mumbai Indians in their IPL match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.

Raghav is making his debut.
"Going pretty well, had a couple of good games, just about continuing the momentum. We have some worries, but we've started to do well. It's been challenging to find the right players and the right combinationbs. We know our strengths and the players who can fit in. Two changes for is - Kumar Kartikeya is OUT, a debut for Raghav Goyal. Tilak Varma is ill, he's replaced by Tristan Stubbs," Rohit said during the toss.
"We'll bowl first. A bit of rain expected, that's one reason, looks like a good wicket and we want them to set a target for us.

We're playing with the same squad," Dhoni said.
