Chennai Super Kings will face Lucknow Super Giants in the 34th match of IPL 2024. Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK has played 6 matches so far this season and has been successful in winning 4 of them. Whereas Lucknow Super Giants have won 3 out of their 6 matches so far. At present both the teams seem to be in good rhythm. Therefore, the audience can see very interesting contests in this match.
Lucknow captain KL Rahul has not been able to get back into his rhythm yet, and many questions are being raised regarding his strike rate. However, his figures against Chennai are such that Friday evening could be in Rahul’s name. Rahul has so far scored 455 runs against Chennai in 12 innings of 13 matches at an average of 41.36 and a strike rate of 140.86, which includes four half-centuries. Rahul’s best score against Chennai is also 98 not out. Apart from Rahul, his partner Quinton de Kock has also scored 335 runs with two half-centuries against Chennai. However, Shardul Thakur can give a tough challenge to both of them. Shardul has shown both of them the way to the pavilion twice in the IPL so far. Whereas Shardul has also made Deepak Hooda his victim twice. However, against Shardul, Rahul has also scored runs at a strike rate of 187.5.
Chennai’s batting lineup is very strong. They have fast batsmen from the opening to the lower middle order. In such a situation, Krunal Pandya can do wonders with his ball. So far, he has made Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja his victims twice in IPL. Whereas Rahane has scored runs against him at a strike rate of 111.6 and Jadeja only at 100. Jadeja has faced only 15 balls from Krunal so far but he has been forced to leave the pavilion twice. Chennai captain Ruturaj Gaikwad had shown signs of coming into form by scoring a half-century in the last match. He has not faced the Lucknow bowlers that much in the IPL, but in whatever period he has faced them, except one bowler, no other bowler has been able to show him the way to the pavilion. Ravi Bishnoi has made Gaikwad his victim once but Gaikwad has also scored runs against him at a strike rate of 154.5. Gaikwad has also scored runs against Krunal at a strike rate of 183.3.
