Dhoni affirmed the return of pacer Deepak Chahar for CSK's away match against LSG in the IPL 2023 while speaking at the toss of the coin. "We're going to play first. Due to the fact that the wicket was covered and it appears a bit sloppy, we will seek to bowl first. You must review all conditions and the location. Deepak (Chahar) is healthy for us, so he replaces Akash (Singh). After winning the toss and opting to bowl against Lucknow, Dhoni stated that the rest of the team remained unchanged.
