IPL 2025 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Best Predicted Playing 11
MS Dhoni looking to motivate the team in our LSG vs CSK match 30 best playing 11 prediction for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
It’s time for match number 30 in the TATA IPL 2025, and we have two contrasting teams taking on each other. On one hand, we have the Lucknow Super Giants, who are riding high with 4 wins from 6 games. Whereas on the other hand, we have the Chennai Super Kings with just 1 win from 6 games. While LSG are currently in 3rd position, CSK are strangling at the bottom of the points table.
Nothing has gone right for the Chennai Super Kings this season. Be it their traditional style of batting, or their out-of-form batters, CSK have been at the receiving end on both occasions. CSK is one team that has always believed in following the process. While they did follow the process, and got the players they wanted, it feels as if they haven’t adapted to the current needs of T20 cricket, and are still playing T20 cricket the way it started.
With IPL 2024 being the turning point in the tournament where not only pitches but also players have started playing aggressively throughout the 20 overs, CSK are still playing traditional Take-it-deep type of cricket. Make no mistake, this type of cricket might still work on slow-and-low pitches like what we see in Chennai, but surprisingly, even Chennai have been producing flat pitches, and as a result, CSK have lost three matches at home – their worst in history.
Contrasting Teams – LSG vs CSK
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have had their issues of their own. IPL’s most expensive player, Rishabh Pant, has been struggling for form, and the inexperienced Indian bowling lineup lacks the punch. Fortunately, even after these issues, LSG have managed to win 4 wins from 6 games. The form of LSG’s top-order, Markram, Marsh, and Pooran, has been a silver lining for the CSK, and a few bowlers like Shardul and Digvesh have been excellent in the tournament so far.
The LSG team, however, can’t take the CSK team lightly. MS Dhoni is still a force behind the wickets, and if by any chance, CSK get a 150-160 kind of wicket, expect CSK to bounce back, and surprise the LSG team that still has issues with their bowling lineup. But with an important match at home, will both teams make changes in their playing 11? Well, let’s look at the LSG vs CSK match 30, best playing 11 of IPL 2025.

The Lucknow team missed the services of Mitchell Marsh in their previous match as the batter flew to Australia to be with his sick daughter. Should he be back for this match? Well, ideally, no, as the duration between the previous match, and this match seems less. So, expect LSG to continue with the same playing 11 as they did in their previous match with Himmat Singh taking Mitchell Marsh’s place, and Pant playing as an opener.

The Chennai Super Kings team had to make a few changes in their lineup as Ruturaj Gaikwad, their leader and most important batter, was ruled out of the competition. While CSK lost the previous match, should they continue with the same playing 11 as they did in the previous match? Well, ideally, they should. CSK rarely makes changes in their playing 11, and even as they lost the previous, giving confidence to their team will be MS Dhoni and CSK’s top priority.
