Done with the pre-match formalities and now it's time to play! Before that, the first-ever winning captain of the Indian T20 League, Shane Warne is honored following his tragic demise a few weeks earlier. The Kolkata players are on the field and it's Devon Conway, the new face in the Chennai side who's set to open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Umesh Yadav has the new ball in hand and is raring to go...

We are moments away from the opening fixture to start! But first, the two sets of players line up in the middle for the beautiful National Anthem of India.

Andre Russell is up for a quick chat. Dre Russ says he is pumped up and he is happy the day is here when this tournament starts. Adds that he missed out on the final last time and he will try to make up for it and is looking for a good game tonight. Mentions that Mumbai has a brilliant ground and they will look to put a smile on the fans' faces. Also adds that they have a balanced squad this year with experience and youth and they also have a confident captain in Shreyas and that is what they need.

Ravindra Jadeja, the skipper of Chennai, says there are big shoes to fill but he is excited about the new role. Shares that they have done their preparation and hopes it comes good. Informs they are going with four foreign players - Devon Conway, Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne and Mitchell Santner.

Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of Kolkata, says they will have a bowl first without any hesitation. Adds that he is honored to become a part of the Kolkata franchise and there will be dew on the ground that's why they will bowl first. Informs that they have gone with three overseas players tonight, Sam Billings, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. Also adds that he, Billings and Rahane got their caps tonight playing for the first time for the franchise.

Kolkata (Playing XI) - Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (C), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Jackson (WK), Umesh Yadav, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Chennai (Playing XI) - Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (C), MS Dhoni (WK), Shivam Dube, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne, Tushar Deshpande.

TOSS - We are set for the all-important toss. Up goes the coin and it lands in the favour of Kolkata. They will BOWL first!

PITCH REPORT - Graeme Swann says there's a slight breeze blowing down the short boundary at one end and it is not a place for bowlers as they will have a horror day on this pitch. Haydos joins him and says that the average score in the last 10 matches is around 200 and there is an even covering of grass. Teams like to chase on this ground as the dew factor comes into the picture as well.

MS Dhoni - The name itself is enough for you to give flashbacks for the fans of India or Chennai. He has done an enormous job as a captain and a few days ago we didn't have a clue that this season, the team in Yellow will be not led by the man himself. The decision was always coming but MS Dhoni doesn't make a huge event about it. He takes his social media or a press release for the news to trend on top. Just seeing the 'number 7' walking out to take the field will bring smiles to millions of fans.

Even Kolkata have added some key players as well and they too will look to take the next big step after being runners-up in the previous edition. It is just the aura of this league that attracts you with big names and the brand it has been since its inception and it has never failed to surprise us with a thrilling contest. Which captain will mark his statement from the first game? We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

It's the repeat of the last season's final, Chennai will lock horns with Kolkata in the first match of the Indian T20 League. MS Dhoni will be leading the team in Yellow...Oops! Sorry, we are so used to writing this line from the past decade that it came unconsciously. Ravindra Jadeja will be leading Chennai from now on and just like him, Shreyas Iyer will make his debut for Kolkata as a skipper. Chennai have bolstered their squad with the inclusion of Chris Jordan, Shivam Dube, Devon Conway and they look well balanced on paper.

Hello and a warm welcome wherever you are across the globe. It is that time of the year when Indian Cricket Team fans are divided. That time of the year when you sit back on your comfy couch and enjoy some epic clash. Yes, It is showtime, we welcome you to the coverage of the opening day of the 15th season of the Indian T20 League.

... MATCH DAY...
