LSG vs CSK - Player Battles to Watch Out For

1) Shardul Thakur vs Rachin Ravindra

Shardul Thakur remained unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auctions. However, things took a completely unexpected turn when Mohsin Khan got injured, and Lucknow Super Giants needed a replacement. Shardul Thakur was signed by the team management, and now he stands as the 2nd-highest wicket-taker in the league. He has picked up 11 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 10.38. Coming out in action in the early hours of the game, Shardul Thakur will bowl Rachin Ravindra, who is the leading run-scorer for Chennai Super Kings as of now. Rachin and Shardul will try to overpower each other in the game because they both have done well and would like to provide their respective teams with a positive start.

2) Aiden Markram vs Noor Ahmad

The middle order of the Lucknow Super Giants will be targeted by Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmad. He is the leading wicket-taker in the league who always comes into action in the middle overs. Noor Ahmad has collected 12 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 7.90. His target will be Lucknow’s Aiden Markram, who is the 3rd highest run-scorer for the team. Aiden Markram has scored 202 runs in 6 games at an average of 33.66 with a strike rate of 153.03. He is known to play the spin attack skillfully, but considering the current form of Noor Ahmad, he might be in danger.

3) Nicholas Pooran vs Khaleel Ahmed

Nobody thought of Nicholas Pooran as a damaging batter before the start of IPL 2025. However, things have completely changed, and now Nicholas Pooran is one of the most feared batsmen in the league. He is the leading run-scorer in the league with 349 runs in 6 matches at an average of 69.80 with a strike rate of 215.43. Nicholas Pooran has the best betting odds on the IPL betting websites in India. On his opposite side, Khaleel Ahmed will be present to stop him from anchoring the innings. Khaleel is the 2nd highest wicket-taker for Chennai Super Kings, with 10 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 8.91. With the new ball, Khaleel Ahmed will target Nicholas Pooran, and the latter will aim to demolish the attack of the former.
