Powerplay rule changes will be interesting

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian captain, has said the new Powerplay rules, where the batting side decides five overs that will be part of the fielding restrictions, will pose interesting challenges to the two sides.

"It means when you plan a few strategies on the ground, suddenly you find the opposition asking about the five overs," Dhoni said.

"You have to be ready for it. It's very tough to say anything right now, how much it will help the side batting first or second.

"We can see a few games and see what is really happening. But they say chasing will be easier if you have a good partnership and you can take it after that. It is really confusing right now."
