When KL drafted to LSG & appointed as captain the big question among people is whether he will able to lead this side as good as there management expecting them or it is another story of mistakes & tacticals blunders as well as his approach going forward while batting. In his first game as captain he somehow not able to do what his fans expect from him when his tactics of not bowling Chameera full overs cost a winning game to his side on the other hand Dhoni sudden shocking announcement of giving up captaincy & decision to play as player hand over captaincy to Jadeja unexpectedly. Unlike KL who has to create a legacy for a new team Jadeja has to fill in shoes of MS who has created CSK a big force and probabaly most successfull(not in terms of title) in league. With both losing there first game both wants to start afresh when they going to horn against each other together.

For CSK return of Moean Ali is a big booster because of there struggle post powerplay against spinners in last game & might replace one of them Santner or Convay. On the other hand LSG looks to forget what Shami did against there top order and will took heart with performance of Hooda & Ayush Badoni & looks to start fresh. One thing going to be interesting to see how KL construct his innings throughout the tournament.

The match going to play at Braboune stadium & seeing trend both teams look to prefer chase keeping in mind dew factors. MI posted 170+ in there last game there so expecting a batting paradise once again.

Matchs ups

For CSK they need to find a complementary pair for Rituraj who is good against spin but a bit scratchy against pace to get going in PP whereas for LSG holding back Ravi Bishnoi for Jadeja ,DHONi and Bravo might be good due to there struggle against spin but good against pace.
