Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in LSG vs CSK clash

The eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League will get its first encounter between five-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Supergiants Giants in match number 30 at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. While Lucknow Supergiants will be looking to carry on their winning momentum, Chennai Super Kings will finally win their first since their opening victory against Mumbai Indians back in the first week of the season. Lucknow Supergiants and Chennai Super Kings have clashed on the previous 5 occasions. Lucknow Supergiants hold the bragging rights with 3 victories under their belt compared to Chennai’s One win, while another match ended with no result. Lucknow Supergiants emerged victorious in the last two encounters played between the sides in 2024. The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium is known to support spinners, hence both teams will be looking up to their bowlers to get the job done.

Here is the list of top 3 bowlers to watch out for in the much-anticipated fixture.

3. Digvesh Rathi

The young leg-spinner has impressed everyone with his performance on his debut season. He has already scalped 7 wickets in 6 matches while maintaining an economy of 7.69 runs an over. His ability to bowl and pick wickets at any stage of the innings is what sets him apart from the herd of other leggies.

 2. Prasidh Krishna

The young fast bowler of LSG has been in fine form this season. He has scalped a total of 8 wickets in 5 innings so far all while maintaining an economy rate of just 7 runs an over. His ability to bowl lethal bouncers and toe-crushing yorkers in the death overs makes him an important asset for LSG. He will be in charge of restricting CSK’s batters from hitting big runs in the penultimate overs.

1. Noor Ahmed

The current purple cap holder will be Lucknow Supergiants’s biggest headache when their batters take the crease. The left-arm chinaman from Afghanistan has scalped 12 wickets in 6 matches so far at an astonishingly low economy rate of just 7.80. The Afghan spinner will be looking to keep his crown with his spinning variations at Ekana.
