Prediction for Best Performers : CSK vs LSG
Best Batsman
Ruturaj Gaikwad
In the last season of IPL, he scored 368 runs in 14 matches with an average of 26.29 and Strike rate of 126.46. Also, he scored three half-centuries. In inaugural match of IPL 2023, he scored 92 runs in just 50 balls. So, if he maintains this consistency throughout the tournament, it can turn the tables for CSK.
Best Bowler
Ravi Bishnoi
Since the pitch is favourable for spinners, the spin attack from Ravi Bishnoi could become lethal for LSG batsmen. He seems in form and captain Dhoni knows very well how to use him against the opponents.
