Player Wise Analysis
Manan Vohra – He is a very good batsman but you can drop him as this wicket is a very tough wicket and scoring runs here is very difficult. It’s better to prefer more Bowlers here.
Kyle Mayers – He has been very consistent with the bat this season. This wicket is very slow and there are chances that he might give his wicket very early but Akash Singh and T Deshpande are not World class Bowlers.
So if Mayers plays 4-5 overs then he can easily score 25-30 runs as in powerplay he will go for hitting.

So, picking Mayers is totally your own call. The wicket is saying to drop him but the starting bowling attack of CSK is not up to the mark and that says to pick Mayers.

Deepak Hooda – He has had the worst season so far and didn’t perform in any single match. He is a highly talented player but has failed very badly this season. You can drop him easily.
Marcus Stoinis – He bowled only one over in the last match. His hitting abilities are on the next level and his bowling will be still very key as his slower ones and cutters will suit this pitch. So, he is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team.
Ayush Badoni – He can be dropped easily. He only comes for finishing and from there he can’t score big. The wicket is also very slow. So Ayush can be dropped easily from your IPL Dream11 Team.
Krunal Pandya – He is an interesting pick in your team as Chennai has many left-handers due to which his role of bowling is limited. But this pitch is slow and helps the spinners very much. So there are high chances that he will bowl a good amount of overs.
So, he is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team as he will contribute with the bat also.
Nicholas Pooran – He is a power hitter and from the start played at this type of pitch in the West Indies. He is very experienced and will do wicketkeeping also. He will give points from there too.
Thus the extra points from keeping are very key and this makes him a very important pick in your IPL Dream11 Team.
K Gowtham – Chennai is dominated by left-handers and an off-spinner will be very key and K Gowtham is that player.
He will most probably bowl full quota overs. He is a good fielder and is giving points by catching also. His batting abilities are also very good as seen in the last match.
Thus he is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team.

Ravi Bishnoi – Another very important pick according to the pitch. His spin bowling will be very effective on this pitch. He is a master of googlies and thus can bowl to left-handers too.
Amit Mishra – Another leg spinner whose bowling will be very key on this pitch. He will most probably bowl 2-3 overs according to me as Chennai as many left-handers in their team and K Gowtham has a high chance of bowling his full overs.
So, he can be dropped easily from your IPL Dream11 Team but the pitch will suit his bowling and you can take him to your team.
Naveen Ul Haq – The Bowler who is Known for his cutters and slower ones is Naveen Ul Haq. He in his entire career played on this type of wickets in Afghanistan.
He is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team.
Yash Thakur – His overs can be deducted at any time and we have better options than him. So he can be dropped easily.
But he is known for his slower ones too. Lucknow has so many bowling options due to which it is very much possible that he will under bowl in this match.
CSK Team Preview
CSK is placed in 4th position in the points table with 5 wins out of 9 matches.
Csk’s batting has been brilliant this season. Their opening pair is very consistent and they almost scored a good amount of runs in every match.

Their spin department is very impressive but they have young pacers who lack experience but have so much talent.
There are chances that Chennai can go for an extra spin bowler in place of any pacer as per wicket.

Player Wise Analysis
Ruturaj Gaikwad – Nothing to say, just must have picked in your IPL Dream11 Team.
Devon Conway – Nothing to say, just must have picked in your IPL Dream11 Team.
Ajinkya Rahane – If Ruturaj and Conway played till 8-9 overs then he will be demoted like last match. This is the biggest risk in picking him.
He is a good player but on this slowish wicket, it is difficult for him to give us a huge number of points. So, he can be dropped easily from your IPL Dream11 Team.
Shivam Dube – He is a very explosive batsman and plays spin very well. This season is his best season as he is contributing with the bat every time he comes.
He is striking the spinners very well but risk-takers can easily drop him as Lucknow has quality spinners and on this slowish wicket, it is very difficult for Shivam to hit them continuously.
So, he can be dropped easily.

Moeen Ali – He is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team as his bowling in this match will also be very key as Lucknow has decent left-handers in their team like Mayers, Krunal, and Pooran.
Thus he will contribute with both bat and bowl. Thus he is a very important pick for your team.
Ambati Rayudu – Just drop him
Ravindra Jadeja – He is a must-have pick in your IPL Dream11 Team and is a very good captaincy option too.
He will probably bowl his full quota of overs and will contribute with the bat too. We all know his fielding skills too.
MS Dhoni – The Legend of the game but will bat most probably in the last 2-3 overs and from a fantasy point of view he is not a worthy pick.
M Pathirana – He is a death Bowler for Chennai and is known for his perfect Yorkers. He has been very unlucky this season and his Yorkers are going for boundaries with inside and outside edges in every match.
He is a very important pick for your team and you can easily try him.
M Theeksana – He is a must-have pick on this pitch. His bowling style is very unique too and doesn’t consider more runs.
T Deshpande – Another death Bowler whose bowling till now is very impressive.
How To Create Best Winning Teams In Football?
Pathirana is creating pressure with his accurate Yorkers and in the very next over Deshpande comes and Batsman because of pressure plays attackingly and Deshpande is regularly picking wickets in this way.
He is an important option for your Dream11 Team.
Akash Singh – He can be dropped easily from your IPL Dream11 Team.
