CSK Team News & Playing 11

CSK Team News

Devon Conway has been ruled out for CSK and the franchise have named Richard Gleeson as his replacement. The concern though will be the form of Rachin Ravindra, who has lost his touch after initial good performance.  However, CSK are known to back young players. Also, Maheesh Theekshana should be back in the playing XI, replacing Deepak Chahar.

CSK Key Players

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad – Gaikwad has shown good form in recent few games. He has scored 241 runs for the team. Runs from Gaikwad are a must as he is someone who can bind the innings together and allow the likes of Rachin Ravindra, Shivam Dube and batters to follow play their natural game.
  • Shivam Dube –  Shivam Dube by far has been the best CSK batter. He will play a big role as he is excellent against the spinners and LSG rely a lot on their slower bowlers in middle overs. Him being a left hander will negate the threat of Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya so we can see another big innings from Dube.  
  • Ravindra Jadeja – Jadeja is a lethal bowler in Chennai as the ball grips and turn, making him unplayable at times. Jadeja also returned to form with the bat and scored a fifty against LSG in last game.
  • Matheesha Pathirana – Pathirana has been brilliant for CSK, taking nine wickets in four matches. Even though CSK lost to LSG in the last game, he was very tidy and gave just 29 runs. Pathirana at death is CSK’s ace weapon. 

CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes

Deepak Chahar, Nishant Sandhu, Mitchell Santner, Moeen Ali, Shaik Rasheed

Sameer Rizvi has wasted opportunities for CSK so he might not get picked as impact player anymore. CSK can look at Shaik Rasheed or Nishant if they need a batter. In case of a bowler, Deepak Chahar can be used.

CSK Team Form

CSK have played seven games, winning four and losing the other three matches in IPL 2024.

CSK Predicted Playing 11

Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana

LSG Team News & Playing 11

LSG Team News

LSG coach Lance Klusener hinted that pacer Mayank Yadav is very close to making a return thus we may see Mayank replacing Yash Thakur or Mohsin Khan in the playing XI. 

LSG Key Players

  • KL Rahul – KL Rahul played a magnificent innings of 82 against CSK in Lucknow and helped his team fetch a win. He will be vital in Chennai as well as he is LSG’s best player of spin and the team would need him in the middle when CSK spinners come in to bowl.
  • Nicholas Pooran – Pooran has played a significant role in LSG’s wins this season. Game after game, Pooran has showed his match winning abilities in IPL 2024. He has scored 246 runs in 7 games at a strike rate of over 160 for LSG.
  • Krunal Pandya – Krunal Pandya can be handy against CSK. The conditions will suit his style of bowling while he can also add handy runs down the order which could prove to be decisive in a close game like this.
  • Marcus Stoinis – Stoinis can make big impact against CSK as the big hitter can take a toll on CSK spinners and don’t allow them to dictate terms. Also, Stoinis can chip in with a couple of crucial overs on the damp surface.

LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes

M Siddharth, Arshad Khan, Amit Mishra, K Gowtham, Yudhvir Singh, Arshin Kulkarnie 

M Siddharth could be handy for LSG as an extra spin option will help the team on a sluggish surface. If they need a batter, Arshin can be used.

LSG Team Form

LSG have been decent so far. Even though they have not dominated teams, they have done well to win four out of the seven games.

LSG Predicted Playing 11

Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c & wk), Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan/Mayank Yadav, Matt Henry, Yash Thakur

Who will win Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants T20 Match?

We suggest backing CSK to win. CSK did lose to LSG in the previous game but back at home, they will back themselves to make scores even. There is no doubt that CSK are better suited to the conditions. Also, they have won all games at home this season thus CSK should be able to beat LSG.

🏆 CSK vs LSG Prediction

CSK are favourites to win for us. In home conditions, CSK are very hard to beat. They have a perfect combination for sluggish wickets thus most teams struggle to beat them at home. LSG defeated CSK in Lucknow but there is a great chance that CSK will return the favour in Chennai. The hosts are a better team on paper, especially the bowling given the conditions, thus, should emerge victorious.
