While he stated that he was unsure of the playing combination for the side, given that the playing XI can be decided after the toss, legendary CSK skipper MS Dhoni commented, "It's a luxury to have [the impact player]. It becomes slightly easy to decide because you can use it anytime. The influence of all-rounder has become marginally less because of the rule."
