CHE vs LKN Match Preview

Chennai Super Kings have won 4 out of 7 matches they have played so far. They started the season with two convincing wins in a row but have lost their way a bit since. They bat deep with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, and Ajinkya Rahane making up the top three. Shivam Dube has been in sensational form while Ravindra Jadeja struck a half-century in the last match. MS Dhoni has smashed 87 runs off just 34 balls this season without being dismissed so far. The bowling can be a concern for CSK with Matheesha Pathirana looking the only dependable bowler at the moment. They need to click as a unit to trouble LSG, to whom they lost their previous game as well.

Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants will be high on confidence after a dominating win over CSK just three days ago. Captain KL Rahul has started finding his groove, which is a great sign for the team. They have quality batters like Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis in their lineup. Pooran has been in sensational hitting form this season. The bowling will be boosted if Mayank Yadav is fit to play. Mohsin Khan has been good with the new ball while they have two quality spinners in Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya who can be effective at Chepauk.

Top Players for CHE vs LKN Gamesys11 Fantasy Cricket Team

• Ravindra Jadeja - Ravindra Jadeja had a fantastic game against Lucknow in the previous match where he scored 57 runs off 40 balls. He was promoted to No. 4 and proved the decision of the team management right. He can also contribute with the ball as he is the first-choice spinner for his team. Jadeja has scored 141 runs at a strike rate of 141 and has been dismissed just once so far this season.

• KL Rahul - Lucknow skipper produced a superb match-winning innings in the last game when he scored 82 runs off 53 balls to take his side home. Rahul has been one of the consistent batters in IPL over the years. In IPL 2024, he has scored 286 runs at an average of 40.85 and a strike rate of 143 so far.

• Matheesha Pathirana - Pathirana is having an excellent season so far and has continued his form from the last season. He is a genuine wicket-taker and can be lethal at the death with his searing yorkers. He has picked up 9 wickets in just 4 matches at an average of 13 so far.

Top Captaincy picks

• Ruturaj Gaikwad - The CSK skipper has scored 241 runs in 7 matche so far at an average of 40.16. Gaikwad is capable of playing a long innings once set. He is an equally impressive player of both pace and spin. It remains to be seen whether he keeps batting at No. 3 or moves back to open the innings. But he likes batting at Chepauk and is likely to get a big score here.

• Nicholas Pooran - Pooran is going through an excellent form right now. He is scoring runs consistently and smashing sixes at will. He is a dangerous player against the left-arm spinners. The left-hander is likely to target Chennai's premier spinner Ravindra Jadeja. He has scored 246 runs at an average of 82 and a strike rate of 164 in IPL 2024 so far.

Players to avoid

• Sameer Rizvi - Rizvi hasn't faced many balls this season and has less chances to get enough balls for this game. He can be avoided for this game as he is unlikely to fetch many points.

• Ayush Badoni - The youngster hasn't had a great season so far. With batters like Rahul, Stoinis, and Pooran in the team, he is unlikely to face many balls. He might not fetch many points and can be avoided for this game.

CHE vs LKN Match Prediction

The performances of both the teams have been quite identical in this season as both have four wins and three defeats in seven matches so far. Only the net run rate separates these two teams. Although Lucknow won the previous game played between these two sides, Chennai will start this match as favorites in home conditions as they boast an incredible record at Chepauk.
