The competition in the tournament is getting heated up in every game that is played. Currently, five teams are in the same spots, and that’s how the competition is headed. With his hamstring injury in the last game, K L Rahul is doubtful to play in this game. And that leaves out a big pillar for LSG. On the other hand, the four times IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings, with two consecutive losses, is ready to eliminate its shortcomings from the previous games. And what’s more fascinating is to see how Dhoni assesses the different conditions of Ekana Stadium.

Fantasy Picks for the LSG vs CSK game
Captain / Wicketkeeper: : Conway
Conway is definitely in the most impressive form for himself. He has been hitting the ball with huge confidence right from the first ball. This Lucknow conditions will be tough, but he will manage with his form.
Vice Captain: M Ali
M Ali hasn’t been sparking of late. But this game would be a great chance for him to shine with the ball. His arc and speed will be most suited for this wicket.
Batters: R Gaikwad, Rahane, Badoni
Both Gaikwad and Rahane are terrific players of spin. They know how to convert the start to what the team needs.
Badoni has been sent up the order in the last two games. So much responsibility and trust is kept in him.
All Rounders : M Ali, Jadeja , M Stoinis, K Pandya.
All four will be the key for this game as they bat in the middle and bowl their full quota.
Bowlers : Bishnoi, Deshpande, Theekshana
Bishnoi has been a threat for both left-handers and right-handers with his googlies.
Deshpande, the purple cap holder, can pick wickets even at the end of his bad spells.
Theekshana is the one who brings in important scalps for CSK at important times with his mystery spin.
