Lucknow Super Giants are all set to take on Chennai Super Kings in the match 30 of the IPL 2025. The match will be played at the home of LSG, and with four wins in two matches, they would be looking to continue their winning run. However, their captain, Rishabh Pant has not been in good form and has scored just 40 runs in five innings so far.
He would be looking to change his fortunes against CSK, a team that will be led by his mentor MS Dhoni. CSK are struggling to get going this season, and have won just one game out of the six they have playeed, and it is a golden opportunity for Rishabh Pant to get back to his best.
Thus, ahead of the clash, let's see what his record against CSK looks like and should one pick him in the Dream11 team.

So far, LSG captain has struggled big time with the bat. He registered duck in the first game, and then came up with two consecutive single-digit scores against PBKS and MI. His highest score came against GT in the last game when he hit 21 off 18 balls while opening the innings. Thus, Rishabh Pant's points have mainly come because of his antics behind the stumps, and overall the points generated by his performances have been pretty below-par.
In the 11 innings against CSK, Rishabh Pant has done pretty well against the five-time champions. He has scored 375 runs with an average of 46.88 and a strike-rate of 156.90. It shows that he has scored impactful consistent runs and has hit 14 sixes and 34 fours.
His highest score against CSK is 79 which came way back in 2018 while in the last season, he hit 51 off 32 balls against the Yellove Army. Thus, Pant has always done well against CSK, and this game could be the day where he gets out of the bad form and make a big score.
Also, there are chances that Rishabh Pant might get to open again if Marsh doesn't play, and it will allow him to take more time and use fielding restrictions to his advantage.
Conclusion
Thus, Rishabh Pant looks like a good option in a fantasy team, especially if Mitchell Marsh is not playing. He is a quality batter, and is due for a big score, thus including him in a grand league contest, and even making him captain can work wonders if he plays to his potential.
