Huge picture- CSK vs LSG, around two
The dominance of CSK at apartment has been a key factor in their brilliant past. They have won all three of their Tournament 2024 home activities, continuing that pattern. They have only won four of their absent game, which makes it yet more crucial for them to win at home.
Luckily, starting Tuesday, they will find three successive game at Chepauk. If they can get all three, they will have one finger in the finals.
Their biggest problem, probably, will come in the first of those activities against LSG. Chepauk has experience with slow, spinning innings at their home floor in Lucknow, similar to those used for the game against KKR. Additionally, LSG will have the confidence of beating CSK as late as Friday, in the previous sport for both edges.
It will be exciting to see what kind of pitch CSK prepare. Would they try to refute LSG's usage or would they try to defy it?

Probable XII 1 Rachin Ravindra, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad ( capt ), 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Shivam Dube, 5 Moeen Ali, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Sameer Rizvi, 8 MS Dhoni (wk ), 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Tushar Deshpande, 11 Mustafizur Rahman, 12 Matheesha Pathirana
Devdutt Padikkal may be reinstated despite Mayank Yadav's ongoing health issues. He has a strong record against most CSK batsmen, despite having been out in the second figures in each of his five IPL 2024 starts.
Padikkal and Mohsin Khan may be LSG's Impact People, depending on whether they are bowling primary or bowling.
Probable XII 1 Quinton de Kock, 2 KL Rahul ( capt, wk ), 3 Devdutt Padikkal, 4 Nicholas Pooran, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Deepak Hooda, 7 Ayush Badoni, 8 Krunal Pandya, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Ravi Bishnoi, 11 Mohsin Khan, 12 Yash Thakur
In the spotlight
In the presence of Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra has been opening the wickets for CSK. In the first two game, he started with blistering goes, but after that, his kind waned, so he only allowed 50 runs in the next five innings while hitting 108.69. Ravindra is likely to start a few more games for CSK, which usually gives them support, but in a tournament with unmatched rating rates, they might not be able to afford too many slow starts.
The different direction has KL Rahul taken. He started gently, but over the past few sports, his pace has actually picked up. In the first four activities of the time, he scored at a strike price of 125.49 in the powerplay. Since therefore, he has smashed it at 185.11- something he has often been capable of. It's a great sign for LSG, not so for the various groups.
