Kolkata skipper, Dinesh Karthik says that they have to bat well at the start and then hit the right areas with the ball. Adds that it's been flat surface here and it's hard to get wickets. Says they are positive and looking forward to this match. Informs about the three changes for Kolkata (flu is the reason once again) - Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine and Harry Gurney return in place of Joe Denly, Lockie Ferguson and Carlos Brathwaite.

Chennai skipper, MS Dhoni says that they will bowl first as he feels the wicket here is quite good and it's difficult to contain the batsmen once they get going. Mentions that they are feeling strong, a few players have niggles and hopes Dwayne Bravo will soon return to give balance to their combination. Knows that their batting has some scope for improvement but at the same time is happy with the way they have chased down targets in spite of that. Informs that they are unchanged.

Two games yesterday, two games today. As cricket fans what more you want! Saturday was for the lesser-fancied teams who punched above their weight to get an elusive victory for themselves. What's in store today? Super Sunday starts with the clash between Kolkata and Chennai at the Eden Gardens. The touring team won the reverse fixture quite comprehensively and that derailed Kolkata's momentum a bit as they are now on a couple of losing rut. Back home, the 2-time champions would like to get their campaign on the track again and let's wait to find out whether they have all their players fit for this match or not. Stay tuned for more updates...
