CSK Playing XI: Today in IPL 2024, KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants will face Chennai Super Kings in MS Dhoni's stronghold. This season, Lucknow had defeated Chennai badly at home. In such a situation, Chennai will enter the field in Chepauk with the intention of settling the scores. Know how Chennai's playing eleven could be in this match.
The match between Chennai and Lucknow will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium. This ground is very helpful for spinners. Whereas when Chennai plays here, it becomes not only difficult but almost impossible to defeat them. Dhoni always used to come on this ground with three spinners. In such a situation, it remains to be seen what decision Gaikwad takes today.
Talking about the playing eleven of Chennai against Lucknow, Rachin Ravindra and Rituraj Gaikwad can be seen opening the innings once again. Ajinkya Rahane was opening for the last few matches. However, this decision was not as expected. In such a situation, Rahane can play at number three again.
Apart from this, a big change can also happen that Mahesh Teekshana can make a comeback in the last eleven. Mahesh Teekshana was part of the playing eleven when Chennai defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in Chepauk. Today again he can lead the spin department. However, if Teekshana gets a chance then Moeen Ali will have to sit on the bench. Whereas fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana can be an impact player today.
Probable playing eleven of Chennai against Lucknow- Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dubey, Sameer Rizvi, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande and Mahesh Tikshana.
Impact Player- Mathisha Pathirana
