Nicholas Pooran has been the torchbearer for Lucknow’s batting with 223 runs at a SR of 161.59. KL Rahul also aggregates more than 200 runs in the season, but his strike rate has been on the lower side.

Their bowling charge has been led by Yash Thakur with seven wickets, while Naveen Ul-Haq and Mayank Yadav have six wickets each. There’s still concern over how their spinners have struggled so far.

Mayank’s injury management remains under focus, and he’s likely to make a comeback here. Shamar Joseph had an interesting debut and could continue in the playing XI.

Chennai Super Kings Form

Chennai Super Kings are third in the standings with eight points from six matches. They have four wins, two of which came in their last two matches.

Shivam Dube has been a surprise package for Chennai, scoring consistently this season. He has 242 runs to his name at a SR of 163.51, while Ruturaj Gaikwad has 224 runs (SR 130.23).

With the ball, it’s Mustafizur Rahman leading their attack with ten wickets to his name. Matheesha Pathirana is the next best, with eight wickets and an economy of 7.33 runs per over.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

Chennai don’t have any injury concerns in the squad, but Ajinkya Rahane’s poor returns could be a cause for discussion. Moeen Ali could be considered in place of Daryl Mitchell, considering the slow conditions set to be on offer.
