Abu Dhabi, Nov 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni on Sunday won the toss and elected to field against Kings XI Punjab in their final league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

CSK have made three changes to the team which last featured against Kolkata Knight Riders. They have brought in Faf du Plessis, Shardul Thakur and Imran Tahir for Shane Watson, Karn Sharma and Mitchell Santner.

"Definitely not, replied Dhoni when asked if it was his last game ever for CSK.

Kings XI have also made two changes: Mayank Agarwal and James Neesham come in for Arshdeep Singh and Glenn Maxwell.

"A key match, it's pretty simple for us, go out, enjoy and win the game," said Kings XI skipper KL Rahul.
