IPL: Chennai Super Kings warm up for clash with Sunrisers
The 2019 edition of the Indian Premier League sees Royal Challengers Bangalore go up against defending champions Chennai Super Kings.
It presents a mouth-watering opening match as the respective sides led by Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni go head-to-head.
The IPL also bears special significance this year with the World Cup starting just weeks after the final.
Kohli has quietened speculation over whether IPL teams have been asked to ‘manage’ the workloads of the Indian stars who are likely to be part of the World Cup squad, saying no instructions have been issued.
He said: "You cannot put a cap on anything. If I'm able to play 10, 12 or 15 games, it doesn't necessarily mean that the other guy can only play that many.
"My body might demand I play a certain number of games and I need to be smart about that and rest.
"Someone else's body might be more capable than mine or less - that is a very individual thing.
“Everyone wants to play the World Cup, so people will be smart about it because you don't want to miss out on such a big event."
