Pooran played some huge match-winning knocks for the Lucknow Super Giants earlier this season. His strike-rate is 166.16 this season with 221 runs under his belt in the middle overs, which certainly tells the story of how he goes about things from ball one. He will be against Piyush Chawla, who's snapped 18 wickets for MI this year already. (Image source: Twitter)

LSG opener Quinton de Kock found it difficult to get a place in the playing eleven for most of the 2023 season. However, after KL Rahul got injured and ruled out of the tournament, the left-handed has found his place back in the team. MI's Jason Behrendorff will look to dismiss the explosive opener early in LSG vs MI clash. (Image source: Twitter)

Chepauk's pitch supports the spinners and it is likely to see LSG bring in the veteran leggie Amit Mishra who has been impressive so far whenever he's been given a chance. Ishan Kishan on the other hand is in blistering form and is likely to trouble the LSG bowling. (Image source: Twitter)

Surya started off the season slow but bounced back to form in tremendous style. He is key in the Mumbai Indians middle order and LSG's Ravi Bishnoi will be given the duty to deal with him. (Image source: Twitter)
