NEW DELHI: The toss moment in the IPL 2026 match between Chennai Super Kings<\/a> and Punjab Kings turned unexpectedly chaotic due to the deafening crowd at Chepauk. As captain Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/a> came forward to speak, the noise made it nearly impossible for anyone to hear, creating a light-hearted but awkward delay.Toss presenter Ian Bishop had to step closer to Gaikwad and eventually apologised for the delay. \u201cI don’t know. I don’t know how long. Let me come closer. I apologise to the cameras,\u201d he said. He added, \u201cI’m sorry this is dragging on because of the noise and the cheering. I am sorry for not being able to hear you and for dragging this on.\u201d The moment highlighted just how passionate CSK fans are at their home ground.Watch:Meanwhile, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and chose to bowl first, citing a fresh pitch and confidence from their previous win.Gaikwad explained his team\u2019s approach, especially the decision to open the batting himself. \u201cThat has been the key for CSK as a franchise\u2026 I felt nothing better than having Sanju and me open the batting. So that was just the thought process behind it,\u201d he said.He also spoke about the pitch conditions: \u201cIt looks a bit on the drier side. And I don’t think it will change too much\u2026 The dew will be a key factor in the second inning. So I think runs on the board and definitely you can defend on this track.\u201dComing off a heavy loss in their first match, CSK are aiming to bounce back, while PBKS look to continue their winning momentum.CSK vs PBKS playing XIs:<\/span>Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.Punjab Kings Impact subs: Suryansh Shedge, Priyansh Arya, Vishnu Vinod, Pravin Dubey, Hemant BrarChennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube, Kartik Sharma, Prashant Veer, Noor Ahmed, Matt Henry, Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed.Chennai Super Kings Impact subs: Jamie Overton, Rahul Chahar, Matthew Short, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Gurjapneet Singh.<\/div>\n\n
