Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday at 7:30 PM IST.
The CSK will be happy to be back at home as their bowling performs better at the home venue, while the LSG also have the resources to trouble CSK at this surface. Meanwhile, in this post, we will try to predict the top three bowlers who will pick the most wickets in today’s CSK vs LSG IPL match.
1 – Matheesha Pathirana
Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against LSG | Record at MA Chidambaram Stadium |
9 wickets in 4 matches at a strike rate of 10.67 | 3 wickets in 2 matches at a strike rate of 14.67 | 11 wickets in 7 matches at a strike rate of 14.73 |
Despite playing only 4 games, the Sri Lankan pacer is CSK’s 2nd top wicket-getter this season with 9 wickets against his name. Furthermore, he has a fantastic record at the MA Chidambaram Stadium with 11 wickets in just 7 matches. The Yellow Army will hope for a destructive spell from their premier pacer to get back to winning ways.
2 – Ravindra Jadeja
Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against LSG | Record at MA Chidambaram Stadium |
4 wickets in 7 matches at a strike rate of 37.50 | 1 wicket in 4 matches at a strike rate of 54.00 | 33 wickets in 45 matches at a strike rate of 21.27 |
Ravindra Jadeja’s numbers against the LSG and this season don’t give too much confidence. However, with the surface of the MA Chidambaram Stadium slowing up a bit now, Jaddu could trouble the batters with his clever variations. The left-arm spinners picked up 3 wickets against the KKR in the last match at this venue and he could continue his form in this contest as well.
3 – Krunal Pandya
Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against CSK | Record at MA Chidambaram Stadium |
5 wickets in 7 matches at a strike rate of 22.80 | 9 wickets in 14 matches at a strike rate of 22.00 | 6 wickets in 9 matches at a strike rate of 29.00 |
Krunal Pandya ‘the bowler’ is criminally underrated. He regularly bowls four overs for his team without giving away many runs and often picks a wicket or two for his team as well. Krunal Pandya picked up 2 wickets against the CSK at the Ekana in the last game and the surface of the MA Chidambaram will suit his bowling style even more. Hence, he could be the main bowler for the LSG tonight.
