Chennai Super Kings lost their first match to Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets. The Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, lost to the Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets. So both the teams are on the field with the aim of recording their first win.
In the first match, the top order of the Chennai Super Kings team was a little weak. Only fifty of former captain Dhoni was a consolation to the fans. With Moin Ali back on the team this time around, that top order can be strengthened. Bravo excels in bowling. Jadeja’s game seems to be a bit chaotic after taking over the captaincy.
The Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, lost the first match to the Gujarat Titans. Deepak Hooda and Ayush Patoni are in good form in that team. However, captain KL Rahul returned to the pavilion without taking a run in the last match. Statistics show that KL Rahul is unable to defend no matter how many runs he hits. So eliminate the grievances and if the two teams clash today, there will be no shortage of excitement in the game.
