Sanju Samson, recovering from a finger injury, is expected to play as an impact substitute. The team will rely on young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, along with the experience of Shimron Hetmyer and Jofra Archer.

Key players include MS Dhoni, who recently surpassed Suresh Raina as CSK’s highest run-scorer, all-rounders Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja, and spinner Noor Ahmad, currently the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
Pitch and Weather Conditions
The Barsapara Cricket Stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, with an average run rate of 8.57 in IPL matches. However, the pitch also offers assistance to spinners, especially in the middle overs. Dew is expected in the second innings, which could make bowling challenging under lights. Captains winning the toss may prefer to chase, considering the dew factor. CricTracker+2myKhel+2Legal Betting India+2Legal Betting India+2CricTracker+2myKhel+2
