LSG vs CSK 2024, IPL Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update

Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings IPL Match Today: KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match no 34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The two teams endured contrasting fortunes in their previous couple of matches. While Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team, still ‘marshalled’ by the peerless Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is coming into the game with back-to-back victories, LSG under KL Rahul have endured a mini-slump with successive defeats.

Playing XI predictions for the LSG vs CSK IPL 2024 match

LSG predicted XI: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c & wk), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Shamar Joseph, Mohsin Khan

Impact Subs: Mayank Yadav and Arshad Khan.

LSG player to watch out for: Young pace sensation Mayank Yadav had to sit out of the last two games after suffering lower abdominal strain after playing just two and a quarter games. The 21-year-old has resumed training on Wednesday and his blistering pace could seriously have an impact on the match as most of the other bowlers playing this game are either medium-fast or fast medium.

CSK predicted XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (wk), Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana

Impact Sub: Mustafizur Rahman and Maheesh Theekshana t

CSK player to watch out for: Ravindra Jadeja, on tracks where the ball grips like it often happens at the Ekana, could be more than a handful. At Lucknow, Jadeja would be looking to make full use of the conditions.

LSG vs CSK pitch report

The average first innings score in Lucknow this season has been 175, which is at least 15 sub-par compared to some of the other grounds, and this is exactly the kind of total where Dhoni, like the seasoned ‘Concert Master’ of an orchestra team, controls the ‘pitch and tune’.
