Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. Since it has been raining here in Salem over the past week, there will be some moisture under the surface that will help the quicker bowlers get some movement off the seam. However, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier.

There is a forecast for rain on Saturday as well and this could lead to a shortened match.

CSG vs LKK Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

S Lokeshwar has got decent starts in both games and looks set for a big knock. We are also selecting N Jagadeesan as he is pretty experienced and could play an important role.

Batters

Baba Aparajith is the top choice as he is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. We are also selecting B Sachin and K Aashiq as both of them are in good form at the moment.

All Rounders

Both teams have plenty of all-rounders and we are picking up quite a few for our team. Shahrukh Khan and Vijay Shankar are fresh from the IPL where Shahrukh in particular played a couple of good innings. We are also going with Mokit Hariharan, Swapnil Singh, and Abhishek Tanwar.

Bowlers

The pitch here is likely to favor the seamers and we are therefore selecting M Silambarasan and Lokesh Raj for our team.

CSG vs LKK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Shahrukh Khan is the captain of our team as he has been a dependable all-rounder in the TNPL. Currently, he is the leading run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Lyca Kovai Kings.

Vice-Captain

While there are a couple of choices for this post, we are going with Baba Aparajith as the vice-captain. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and has played a couple of good knocks.

Since the pitch in Salem is expected to be balanced, we have tried to select a balanced team that has an equal number of batsmen and bowlers. Luckily, there are quite a few all-rounders in both teams. They will provide balance to the playing XI. Our bowling unit is seam-heavy as the pitch is likely to favor the seamers compared to the slower bowlers.
