The Australian fast bowler is yet to feature this season and is still working toward full match fitness after recovering from hamstring and Achilles injuries. The same issues had earlier ruled him out of Australia’s recent international assignments, including the Ashes and the T20 World Cup.
Hazlewood’s return remains dependent on his recovery and match readiness as the franchise continues to manage his workload cautiously in the early stages of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to field. Both teams have fielded unchanged playing XIs for the contest.

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube, Prashant Veer, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Matt Henry, Khaleel Ahmed
