Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will meet each other in the 30th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Monday, April 14. The big-ticket clash will take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.
LSG must be high in confidence as they are riding high with four wins in their last five games, showcasing dominant form in all departments. In contrast, CSK are struggling big time, having lost five straight matches and currently languishing at the bottom of the points table.
As another enthralling contest awaits for us from Lucknow, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for LSG vs CSK Match 30 of IPL 2025.
3. Noor Ahmad
Why Will Noor Ahmad Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Noor Ahmad has been the brightest light in CSK's poor 2025 campaign so far. It is advisable to keep Noor as one of the top fantasy picks ahead of CSK's upcoming matches as the tournament moves towards it's half-way mark.
The left-arm chinaman has enjoyed his time in yellow as he is the currently the highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 wickets at an average of 13.17 and at a strike-rate of 10. He will be a crucial factor for Chennai to restrict LSG during the middle-overs phase where Noor has taken a wicket every 9.60 deliveries so far this season.
2. Aiden Markram
Why Will Aiden Markram Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Aiden Markram will be another great captain or vice-captain choice for LSG vs CSK match. He has found his mojo back recently as the South African has scored a total of 158 runs, including two half-centuries in the last three games.
In addition, Markram has been the most reliable batter at the top of the order for Lucknow in their home matches. He has scored 139 runs (most) at an average of 46.33 and a strike-rate of 159.77 in three games at LSG’s home this season.
1. Nicholas Pooran
Why Will Nicholas Pooran Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Nicholas Pooran is enjoying his time batting in IPL this season. The southpaw has been one of the most consistent performers this season. He will without a doubt start to continue to be one of the top captain and vice-captain choices ahead of every LSG fixture going forward.
Pooran is currently the highest run scorer in the league so far as he has scored 349 runs at an average of 69.80 and at a strike-rate of 215.43. Moreover, he has earned 118 fantasy points per match this season which is by far the most for any player this season.
