Players to watch out for in CSK vs LSG
Nicholas Pooran
After enduring poor form throughout the season, Pooran has finally found his touch, having scored well in the last two fixtures against Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The southpaw will be hungry for a big innings in the upcoming fixture to help LSG continue their winning run.
Anshul Kamboj
The right-arm seamer is the joint-highest wicket taker of the season with 17 scalps to his name from ten innings. He will again hold the key for CSK in the upcoming game as the five-time champions set their sights on the playoffs spot.
