KKR-Karthik: The way we have been playing, we have been chasing decently. I think the way we have been playing - batting and bowling - has been good. Nitish is out with a bad back and Rinku Singh comes in.

CSK-Dhoni: We wanted to bowl first also. The only concern is that the outfield seems smaller. We need to work on death bowling and need to bowl to the field. That's the only concern for us. We're unchanged.
