When the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and faced the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). MS Dhoni decided to bowl first. Krunal Pandya took over as team captain in place of KL Rahul, who was injured.

The LSG reinserted Manan Vohra into the starting 11. Manan Vohra and Kyle Mayers, two destructive batters were seen beginning the batting.

The Ekana Cricket Stadium’s slow playing surface may have been a result of the rain that fell just before the game started.LSG’s opening players could be seen finding it difficult to clear the fence.

Maheesh Theekshana connives with Manan Vohra

 

After capturing the crucial wicket of Kyle Mayers, Moeen Ali was out after scoring 14 runs in 17 balls in the fourth over. Manan Vohra was observed rotating the strike as he gradually got into the rhythm.

Right-arm speedster Deepak Chahar, who recently made a comeback from injury. It was a bit overpriced considering he gave up 21 runs in his first three overs.

Mahesh Theekshana took the pitch in the sixth over. On the fourth delivery. Manan Vohra attempted to play a scoop shot but failed miserably. Because his stumps were being trampled. When Manan Vohra was caught, he had scored 10 runs off of 11 balls.

With 5 points and 4 overs remaining, LSG was down 27-2. It seems unlikely that captain MS Dhoni will use pacers in the attack because the field seems to be a minefield. As interim captain, Krunal Pandya must conduct himself honourably.

Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran, two powerful hitters, would be put to the test because their ultra-attacking approach won’t work very well. In the previous game played here, LSG was limited to 127 by RCB.

For CSK to establish their dominance on the opposing side, the opportunity is ideal. Jadeja has a knack for getting big wickets, so MS Dhoni must be careful how he employs him. LSG has strong spinners as well, so CSK wants to keep LSG’s final score under 140.
