In a repeat encounter of the previous clash, Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with Lucknow Super Ginats. CSK will be desperate to avenge their 8 wicket loss to the Lucknow based outfits. CSK might be tempted to drop Moeen Ali for Daryl Mitchell. On the other hand, LSG will fret over the return of pace sensation Mayank Yadav.
Return of Daryl Mitchell
In the previous encounter, Moeen Ali was handy with the bat. The English all-rounder scored a fine 30 run knock from 20 deliveries. On the other hand, he bowled a solitary over giving away just 5 runs. But now with the game being played at Chepauk, CSK might be tempted to bring back the dynamic Mitchell in their Playing XI.
Mayank Yadav to Return?
Lucknow Super Giants will be brimming with confidence after their previous win. But they will be hopeful of the return of Mayank Yadav. The youngster lighted up IPL 2024 with his mouth-gasping pace. But Yadav sustained an abdominal strain and missed 2 games on a stretch. Thus LSG will be eager for the young pacer to return to the Playing XI.
