While CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni stressed the fact that dew will come on later and will make things interesting in the second innings, which is why he chose to bowl, while KL Rahul talked about the learnings from the last game and how it is important to stick to one's plans and back them despite going for runs.
