- Ravindra Jadeja: Known for his all-round abilities, Jadeja’s recent form with both bat and ball makes him a key player for CSK.

Key Players for Lucknow Super Giants:
- KL Rahul: The highest run-scorer for LSG with 286 runs, Rahul’s consistent performances at the top order have been crucial for his team.
- Quinton de Kock: With three fifties in seven innings, de Kock’s explosive batting adds firepower to the LSG lineup.
