Both clubs have lost their first two games and will be seeking to bounce back with a great performance. In their first game, Ravindra Jadeja’s CSK and KL Rahul’s LSG both struggled with their top-order batting performances. On the powerplay, both teams struggled to get off to a solid start and were never able to put up a large total they could defend. CSK had been outplayed by a spirited Kolkata Knight Riders the night before, while LSG had been hammered by Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans.

TOP Picks:
Robin Uthappa:
Robin Uthappa had a wonderful start against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but he was forced to return after Sheldon Jackson’s stunning stumping. The right-hander hammered a 21-ball 28 while also playing some stunning smashes that delighted the crowd during his limited time at the crease. The veteran batter smashed two sixes and two fours in a magnificent stroke, displaying that he still possesses his characteristic delicacy in his timing.
Dwayne Bravo:
Dwayne Bravo gave Chennai Super Kings fans a ray of hope with a three-wicket haul in a game that was nearly gone at the halfway stage. The seasoned medium-pacer went 3 for 20 in his four-over session, using his variations to confound the hitters in a modest run chase. He is anticipated to have a successful game against the Lucknow Super Giants, based on how he bowled in the first game.

Pitch Report:
The pitch has obviously performed pretty well in the one game that has been played so far in the tournament at the Brabourne Stadium, and it appeared like the spinners received a little bit of help. However, this was a daytime event, and things may be different in the evenings when dew is a concern. Because chasing was very easy in the previous game, the captain who wins the toss is likely to bowl first.
As a result, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway failed to get Chennai off to a good start on the powerplay, while Robin Uthappa, a seasoned veteran, failed to convert the starts he received. With the bat, captain Ravindra Jadeja seemed a shell of himself, while former leader MS Dhoni’s unbeaten fifty and finishing touches in the dying overs helped CSK achieve a respectable total. CSK’s top-order will be eager to put on a better performance against Lucknow. Moeen Ali’s availability for selection in the starting lineup will be a huge boost for the Yellow Brigade. Chennai will also be expecting for improved bowling and more courageous captaincy from Jadeja.
Lucknow, while appearing to be one of the most balanced sides in the ongoing season on paper, struggled in their first encounter on several fronts. Despite losing to a spirited Gujarat Titans team, the KL Rahul-led side did have a few things to take away from the match. In an otherwise uninspiring match, Deepak Hooda’s all-round performance and Ayush Badoni’s brilliant fifty on his IPL debut gave LSG fans something to cheer about. The Lucknow franchise’s middle-order played well, although against CSK’s slightly inexperienced bowling attack.
