Chennai Super Kings had MS Dhoni walk out for the toss once again, as the former India captain returned as captain for the IPL franchise
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in the match in Pune on Sunday.
A big roar then went up as Dhoni walked to give his first toss interview in a while, having relinquished captaincy duties ahead of this season.
