Lucknow take on Chennai at a ground good for defending and a ground which is pretty helpful for the spinners. This could be an interesting game to watch with a good set of spinners in Lucknow and Ravindra Jadeja on the other side. Back home, Lucknow will be hoping for a win after losing two games with some disappointing performances in the middle.

LSG vs CSK Key Players

KL Rahul

KL Rahul has been pretty quite this season. His runs are going well and the intent with which he has batted at is also nice. Focussing on batting at a better tempo, KL Rahul is showing improvement with his strike-rate, which is why the silence in big scores.

Daryl Mitchell

Daryl Mitchell has played decently but is still yet to unleash his full potential in the IPL. Known for his big hits and ability to be versatile through the board, Mitchell will be eager to get going in the next game.

LSG vs CSK, Battles to Watch

Ravi Bishnoi vs MS Dhoni: MS Dhoni is unlikely to face off against Ravi Bishnoi but if it does get that far CSK would be in some big trouble. Ravi Bishnoi enjoys a really good record against MS Dhoni, who has struggled against spin late in his careeer.

LSG vs CSK Match Tips

Lucknow like defending at home and a good toss could leave them favorites. They further have more spin options to put pressure on CSK who are reliant on Ravindra Jadeja, who is not the best in T20s for spin.
