CSK vs LSG Top Fantasy Picks (Must-Haves)
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson has been the most consistent batter for Chennai Super Kings this season making him an absolutely necessary pick for today's game.
Mitchell Marsh: In an overall disappointing LSG side, Mitchell Marsh has been a top performer with the bat in hand for the Super Giants at the top of the order.
CSK vs LSG Captain & Vice-Captain Choices
Safe Picks:
Captain: Sanju Samson - Across both teams, Sanju Samson has scored the most runs, making him a reliable captain choice for the CSK vs LSG clash. In 10 games in IPL 2026, he has scored 402 runs, which includes two centuries.
Vice-Captain: Mitchell Marsh - Like Samson, Marsh, too, has been a top batter for LSG this season. The Aussie opener has scored 367 runs in 10 matches in IPL 2026.
Differential/Risky Picks:
Captain: Ruturaj Gaikwad - Coming to this game, Ruturaj Gaikwad had a failure against the Delhi Capitals. However, the CSK captain struck form in the last few games and would be expected to bounce back among the runs against LSG.
Vice-Captain: Nicholas Pooran - Nicholas Pooran is back at the number three position, and the change in position has resulted in a change of fate for the left-handed batter.
