CSK vs LSG: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Match 39 of the IPL 2024. The game will go all guns blazing at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on April 23, Tuesday at 7:30 PM (IST).

It is going to be quite an interesting contest as both teams locked horns with each other very recently in the first leg. The Lucknow-based franchise comfortably got the better of the Yellow army by 8 wickets in Lucknow.

CSK will be looking to avenge the defeat to LSG at their fortress. As things stand, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Co. are fourth on the table with 4 wins and 3 defeats with an NRR of +0.529 whereas LSG are fifth on the table with 4 wins and 3 defeats with an NRR of +0.123. Let's now take a look at the four batters who can score the most runs in Match 39 of the tournament.

1. Ajinkya Rahane: Experienced campaigner Ajinkya Rahane has provided decent starts to the team as an opener. The right-handed batter started off quite well against LSG in the first leg, scoring 36 off 24 balls, laced with five fours and a six. Nevertheless, he failed to build on his innings as he fell prey to Krunal Pandya's delivery. Rahane will be hoping to convert his start into a good score this time around.

2. KL Rahul: LSG captain KL Rahul played a substantial role in the first leg against CSK by leading the batting attack by example. He chipped in with an impressive 82 off 53 balls with the help of 9 fours and 3 sixes at a healthy strike rate of 154.72. His knock came in a winning cause and he will be licking his lips to stick to the same template that worked for him in the previous game.

He scored 3 runs before falling prey to Marcus Stoinis' delivery. Having been dismissed in a disappointing manner in the first leg, he will be looking forward to giving it all in the second leg.

4. Nicholas Pooran: The Caribbean has been one of the standout performers for LSG as he has been offering great value to the team by scoring runs at a rate of knots in the middle order. In the previous game against CSK, he scored an unbeaten 23 off 12 balls including three fours and a six.
