CSK will certainly test the LSG batters with the variety in their bowling attack on a pitch which is expected to be slow and not easy for strokemaking.
CSK will be aiming for more runs for their top order as they aim for a big total batting first. Gaikwad, Dube and Dhoni have been in top form but they need more runs from the likes of Rahane, Mitchell and Moeen Ali.
Check out the playing XIs of the two teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (w/k), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana.
Lucknow Super Giants: K L Rahul (captain, w/k), Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Matt Henry, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Yash Thakur.

18:27 Revenge on CSK's mind against LSG
Welcome to the coverage of the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in Chennai on Tuesday.
Revenge will be on defending champions Chennai Super Kings' minds when they host an unpredictable LSG.
The last time the two teams faced off in Lucknow last week, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock put up a record opening partnership which proved to be the difference as LSG trounced CSK by eight wickets.
Five-time champions CSK are a force to be reckoned with at home and they will look to set the record straight this time. Following the away loss, CSK will be eager to redeem themselves in the three consecutive home ties to march towards the play-offs.
For CSK, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube have done bulk of the scoring and their failure against LSG meant they didn't get a flying start and also struggled in the middle overs.
While Ravindra Jadeja stepped up with a composed fifty, which allowed Moeen Ali and Mahendra Singh Dhoni to produce the late fireworks and give the team a fighting total, CSK would hope their top-order gets their act together when they face LSG again.
CSK's bowling unit was at their wits end against the rampaging duo of Rahul and Quinton the other day.
Young Matheesha Pathirana was their best bowler but the onus will be on pacers Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Mustafizur Rahman to produce a better show when they face the same opposition again.
For LSG, batting has been an issue but they have shown how devastating they can be if their top-order fires.
Rahul and Quinton were on a roll and they will once again have to do the heavy lifting at Chepauk. Also Nicholas Pooran has hit top gear when needed and LSG will bank on him a lot.
In bowling, LSG will hope for the return of young pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who had to sit out of two games after suffering lower abdominal strain.
Pacer Mohsin Khan and Yash Thakur did well to restrict CSK initially but found themselves in the firing line of Dhoni in the final overs, something they need to work on before they walk into his den. Matt Henry had a wicketless debut for LSG and he too will be eager to prove himself.
In the spin department, Krunal Pandya's two wickets made a lot of difference in the middle-overs and he will have to take the lead again against CSK, while young Ravi Bishnoi will have to get over the thrashing that he received from Ali to find his mojo back.
