Key Batters to Watch for LSG vs CSK : 

Deepak Hooda

Hooda is replacing Devdutt Padikkal in this lineup who is most probably dropped because of his poor returns, which slots Hooda at 3 which is his preferred batting position where he comes in and can dictate terms in the power play and his superior game against spin will also help his cause.

Daryl Mitchell

The Kiwi batter has had a very mediocre IPL until now and would be itching to get back to his usual self, Mitchell in this IPL has lost his shape very often while striking the ball which has made all the difference if he can rectify this he will certainly improve his returns.

Key Bowlers to Watch for LSG vs CSK :

Maheesh Theekshana

At Lucknow the ball often grips and turns and also tends to be on the lower side which makes Theekshana a must-have player on your side who could prove to be a wicket-taker against a hard-hitting Lucknow Lineup.

Shamar Joseph

Shamar in his brief career has often shown he bowls with hostility and often bowls attacking lines and lengths against Chennai who look to capitalise on the power play he could prove to be a threat if he bowls with control.
