How crucial is KL Rahul for Super Giants at Chepauk?

LSG skipper KL Rahul played a match-winning knock for Lucknow in their last meeting with the Chennai Super Kings at the IPL 2024. When Rahul scored 40-plus runs, LSG ended up winning 64% of their matches (7/11). 

Bravo brands CSK star as Baby GOAT!

IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live Score: Bravo was all praise for young Pathirana as the CSK legend called him Baby GOAT (Greatest of All Time)."Pathirana is very special. I call him Baby Malinga. I also call him Baby GOAT. He is not someone you try to coach because he has a natural ability and skill," Bravo said.

Dwayne Bravo shows off his yorker supremacy at Chepauk

Dwayne Bravo opened up on the importance of Yorkers ahead of CSK's match against LSG. Bravo said the yorker is the most important delivery for a pacer. "One of the main reasons why bowlers struggle in this format is because bowlers don't trust their ability to bowl Yorkers. So what I tried to implement in the coaching sessions is every bowler has to bowl 12-14 yorkers in a session. Only if you put in the work, in the game time, it will be easier," Bravo said.

CSK rely heavily on Dube-Gaikwad

IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants: Chennai Super Kings rely heavily on Shivam Dube and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the batting department. The duo has done the bulk of the scoring and their failure against LSG meant they didn't get a flying start and also struggled in the middle overs. Opener Rachin Ravindra's form is a concern, he started the IPL with a couple of impressive knocks but failed in the last few matches.  CSK also promoted Ajinkya Rahane as the opener and as a result, Gaikwad pushed himself a spot down to three.

Who should open the innings for CSK?

Should Ruturaj Gaikwad return to the opening slot in place of Ajinkya Rahane?

 It will be interesting to see whether Ruturaj Gaikwad returns to his ideal position - opener - in place of Ajinkya Rahane. Gaikwad scored a fifty against Mumbai Indians while batting at number but looked a bit scratchy versus Lucknow Super Giants. Meanwhile, Rahane flopped on both occasions as an opener.

Mayank Yadav expected to miss

IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants: Mayank Tyagi is expected to miss tonight against Chennai Super Kings. The tearaway pacer has missed the last few matches due to side strain but he has returned to training. The young paceman ran riot with the ball against PBKS and RCB earlier in the season and also clocked the fastest delivery of the season thus far. His return will boost LSG's chance to make it to playoffs but he has not travelled to Chennai.

 All eyes on KL Rahul

KL Rahul looked in great touch in the previous fixture between the two sides as his 82-run knock set the tone for Lucknow Super Giants in the 177-run chase. The flamboyant batter needs to continue this run-spree to make his case stronger for the T20 World Cup squad. He is still lagging in the race behind Rishabh Pant but a couple of explosive knocks can do wonders for him.

Ruturaj and Co. seek revenge

After suffering a defeat in Lucknow last Friday, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Co. will look to take the revenge in the reverse fixture on Tuesday. Not much has changed for the two teams since Friday as they haven't played any game in that time period, which will give both of them to analyse their games and work on their plans in a better way.

The Super Kings have been a force to be reckoned with at home and they will look to set the record straight this time. Following the away loss, CSK will be eager to redeem themselves in the three consecutive home ties to march towards the playoffs.
