Dhoni opted to bowl first in his first cricket match since India's World Cup 2019 semifinal exit. Dhoni also opined on the quarantine period in the UAE for IPL 2020 saying how difficult it was for every player. "I think 1st of all, we need to applaud the contribution from each and every member of the squad. It's the new set of rules, the 6-day isolation, it's a very difficult one," Dhoni said."What makes it more difficult is you spend 5 months with your family, wife, children, parents and all of a sudden you're sitting in your room. I felt each and every individual, they used that time well and nobody was really disappointed or frustrated. After that, whatever time we got with the practice facilities, which were very good, and we made the most of it.".@ChennaiIPL Captain MS Dhoni wins the toss and elects to bowl first in the season opener of #Dream11IPL.#MIvCSK pic.twitter.com/OAuLkAU7qb
