Difficult situation for Chennai

CSK batsmen could not perform well and their batsmen failed against KKR. Openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are two good batsmen, but expecting aggressive batting from the first ball is against their playing style. Rahul Tripathi, who came in at number three in place of Gaekwad, will be under pressure to perform well. The team also needs a good performance from experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Shivam Dubey needs more support on the power-hitting front and the best person to do that is Dhoni himself.

Will CSK field an extra batsman?

Chennai would have a good option to field Mathisha Pathirana as an impact player. CSK’s batting has not been good and in such a situation they may think of playing with additional batsmen. Lucknow Super Giants’ top order batsman Nicholas Pooran is in excellent form and Pathira can pose a challenge for him. Pathirana has dismissed Pooran four times in five innings.

Will Rishabh Pant play as an opening batsman again?

Lucknow opener Mitchell Marsh did not play against Gujarat Titans. During the toss, Rishabh Pant had said that Marsh’s daughter is ill due to which he is not available. It is not yet decided whether he will be able to make a comeback against CSK or not, but if Marsh returns to the team, he will replace Himmat Singh. Due to the absence of Mitchell Marsh in the top order on Saturday, Rishabh Pant got the opportunity to open the innings with the in-form Aiden Markram. Pant has performed well at the top of the order.
