The Lucknow Super Giants finished on the wrong side of a low-scoring game as they imploded dramatically. They are now sweating on the fitness of their Captain KL Rahul who went off looking in bad condition with a hamstring injury. They continue their home stretch though and will now take on a side famous for their history with spin, and a captain who loves strangling sides with his spinners.

LSG vs CSK Key Players

Kyle Mayers

With his explosive hitting and medium pace up front, Kyle Mayers has made himself a tough candidate to leave out. He gives the Lucknow management a happy headache with Quinton De Kock coming back, leaving Lucknow wondering who to leave out.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja has been getting a grip and turn and also seems to have found some of his rhythm with the bat. He has been a touch under used, but will be a huge player in the upcoming game, especially with the small boundaries providing a massive challenge to him with the ball.
