Preview
Both teams will be coming on the back of a loss from their first games of the season. While Chennai were outclassed by Kolkata at the Wankhede Stadium, it was Gujarat who beat Lucknow in a close-fought contest at the same venue. Although Lucknow lost the game, they had many positives to take from. Dushmantha Chameera's new-ball bowling, Deepak Hooda, and Ayush Badoni's batting were the top positives for KL Rahul-led Lucknow. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni returning to run charts was the biggest takeaway for Chennai. However, captains from both sides did not have a not-so-impressive outing. So, it will be interesting to see how they redeem themselves as well as their team.

Analysis
KL Rahul went for a first ball-duck in his first game, but the Lucknow captain is expected to bounce back and score some runs for his team. So, he becomes a crucial player for the fantasy team. Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Quinton de Kock, and Evin Lewis can also be some good picks. From the Chennai camp, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are expected to be among the run charts. In the bowling department, Dushmantha Chameera, Dwayne Bravo, Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi can be good picks.
