LSG vs CSK – IPL – Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

With the Kohli-Gambhir fiasco still very much doing the rounds on social media, LSG will feature again with a day’s break at the same venue. Despite having a day’s break, LSG’s recent performance has been disappointing, with three consecutive losses at their home ground.

In their last match against RCB, LSG lost by 18 runs, which deflated their spirits. Their batting has been weak, especially on the slow surface at the Ekana Stadium, where most of their batters got out trying to attack. The foreign players have also struggled to adapt to the pitches in Lucknow, resulting in little contribution from them.

Furthermore, Rahul’s injury might force LSG to bring in Quinton de Kock, who is yet to play a game this season, to strengthen their batting. If De Kock makes it to the side, Avesh Khan could replace Naveen-ul-Haq.

Chennai Super Kings

Both LSG and CSK are coming off losses in their previous games. While LSG suffered three consecutive losses at their home ground, CSK lost a last-ball thriller against PBKS. However, CSK’s bowling attack has the potential to control the game in Lucknow, and they will be looking for a better performance from their bowlers.

The middle overs are CSK’s preferred period of play, and with Conway, Gaikwad, and Rahane in good form, they have a solid batting line-up. Adaptability will be crucial for both teams in this contest.

It remains to be seen if Ben Stokes, who is recovering from an injury, will be fit for the game. CSK might stick to the same combination of players that they have used in recent games. Despite two consecutive losses, CSK will feel confident going up against LSG.
