In the 30th match of IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants are taking on the out-of-form Chennai Super Kings. Led by Rishabh Pant, LSG is currently in good form, having won three of their last encounters against different teams and currently sitting in 4th position on the table. They will be playing another match on their home ground against Chennai Super Kings. LSG faces a setback as Mitchell Marsh was unavailable in the last game. Let’s look at the playing XI combination of the team for this match.
Is Mitchell Marsh available?
In the last match, Mitchell Marsh didn’t play since his daughter was not well. It is expected that he has not returned yet, and he might not play the match against CSK as well, so he will be unavailable. To make up for the opening spot, Rishabh Pant is expected to open the innings just like he did in the last match against the Gujarat Titans.
Who will come as impact sub?
Ayush Badoni is expected to come in as the impact substitution for the team. He has been regularly playing as an impact sub. He usually bats at number 3. If LSG bats first, then Degrat Singh Rathi is expected to make it into the XI as an impact sub.
Himmat Singh in?
Himmat Singh made his IPL debut in the last match against the Gujarat Titans. However, the team chased the target with 6 wickets left, so the 28-year-old Himmat Singh didn’t get a chance to showcase his talent and play an inning. After observing this, the team might give Himmat Singh another chance because he didn’t bat and needs to show his improvement and confidence.
