LSG vs CSK Toss Factor

The wicket at the Ekana Cricket Stadium will be slow and sluggish, helping the spinners and the death bowlers with slowers in their repertoire. The team batting first has won most of the games at the venue, and the same could be true for this match. 

Scenario: If Lucknow Super Giants win the toss

• The Super Giants have been a great defending side in the tournament. They have trusted their bowling department and would look to do the same in this game if they win the coin flip. 
• In this scenario, KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni will be good picks from the LSG batting lineup. 
• In the case of bowling, Ravi Bishnoi could be a prime choice. 

Scenario: If Chennai Super Kings win the toss

• Chennai Super Kings are accustomed to playing on a slow, sluggish wicket and helping the spinners. Over the years, they have successfully defended on a wicket like this in their home ground. They might feel confident defending any total their batters put on the board. 
• The CSK batters like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube would be the most important choices as C or VC from the batting line-up. 
• Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman could be important picks in the case bowlers.

LSG vs CSK Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Lucknow Super Giants win the match

KL Rahul (LSG)

The LSG skipper has been in decent touch with the bat in this tournament. KL Rahul also has a good record against CSK, which makes him one of the prime choices as the C or VC for the game. 

Ravi Bishnoi (LSG)

The Indian leg-spinner has not been in the best of rhythms in the tournament. However, Ravi Bishnoi did a great job in IPL 2023 against CSK. The confidence from that match and his record at the venue makes him a prime choice as the C or VC for the game.

Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)

The CSK skipper has found his form in the last couple of matches. Ruturaj also played a superb knock in the previous game these two teams played in IPL 2023. His current form and record against LSG make him an excellent choice as the C or VC. 

Matheesha Pathirana (CSK)

The Sri Lankan pacer has emerged as the game-changer for CSK in the tournament. Matheesha Pathirana has the bowling rhythm with him and could be a decisive choice as the C or VC for the fantasy contests. 

LSG vs CSK High Risk, High Reward

Nicholas Pooran (LSG)

The West Indian batter has been in great form in the tournament. However, Pooran's record has not been that impressive at the venue. He scored a golden duck in the last game against DC. Thus, his numbers on the ground make Pooran a high-risk C or VC for the game. 

Rachin Ravindra (CSK)

Even though Rachin Ravindra looked impressive with the bat in the tournament's first match, he has not been able to perform as expected after that. His form could be better, and he is a risky choice, but his show at India in the World Cup 2023 makes him a worthy pick. 

LSG vs CSK Stay Aways

Marcus Stoinis (LSG)

The Australian all-rounder has generally struggled at the Ekana Cricket pitch. Marcus Stoinis has also been out of form in this tournament. In his current form, it does not look like Stoinis will be too influential as the C or VC of the match. 

Tushar Deshpande (CSK)

The Indian pacer has not been in the best rhythm in the tournament. Tushar Deshpande's current bowling form indicates that he might not be a great option as the C or VC for the game.
