It is still very early days in the two month long IPL but the toss is already playing a vital role in the outcome of the game. Keeping the dew of the second innings in mind, the teams are choosing to bring in the opposition.
CSK and LSG lost after batting first at Wankhede. The situation is not expected to be much different at the nearby CCI ground as heavy dew is expected in the second half of the game.
Lucknow skipper KL Rahul and star opener Quinton de Kock had an unforgettable outing on Monday and they would be keen to have some runs under their belts. Rahul needs to lead from the front with the IPL presenting a major test to his captaincy skills.
Seasoned campaigners Manish Pandey and Evin Lewis, who are a tough batsmen, can attack the cleaners on their day, was a forgettable outing and the team management will be hoping they come to the party.
Lucknow will be glad that the middle-order between Deepak Hooda, debutant Ayush Badoni and Kunal Pandya clicked when their top-order collapsed and the trio would need to take up the responsibility again.
But it was Lucknow’s bowling, which would have to be quickly forgotten by the swashbuckling innings at the hands of Gujarat. While pacer Dushmantha Chameera was right on the money, co-pacer Avesh Khan conceded 33 runs in 3.4 overs.
Also the role of the spin trio of Ravi Bishnoi, Hooda and Krunal can decide the fate of the match.
After scoring just 131 runs in the first game, CSK would be looking to do better with the bat. With Moeen Ali, Dwayne Pretorius a pinch-hitter available for selection, they will indeed breathe a sigh of relief.
In the first game, barring an old Mahendra Singh Dhoni, other batsmen faltered, be it Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Devon Conway or Ambati Rayudu.
New captain Ravindra Jadeja will also be keen to score big personally for Shivam Dubey, who is running against time to prove his worth on the IPL stage.
But it remains to be seen who leaves CSK to include Moeen, who could come at number three.
While all-rounder Dwayne Bravo took three wickets against KKR, others scored runs and would need to fire them all together.
