The Chennai Super Kings take on the Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday in match no.30 of IPL 2025, and the biggest change for the slumping yellow-army was the addition of young batter Shaik Rasheed in place of Devon Conway.
CSK, who have had to endure a tough season up until now look to shake things up a bit as they brought in the 20-year-old batter from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. The top-order batter came to attention for his contribution towards the success of the Indian U19 team that clinched the 2022 age category World Cup as the batter produced scintillating knocks in the semis and finals of the event as he made a solid half-century in the summit clash to help the Indian side clinch the title.
Rasheed, who has been a part of the CSK camp since the year 2023, was finally handed his cap, after Chennai shelled out Rs 30 Lakh at the 2024 IPL auction.
Rasheed has 1204 runs in 19 First Class games at an average of 37.62 and a strike rate of 46.04. He has managed to scale the triple digit landmark twice and the half-century mark seven times in FC cricket.
He has also managed 352 runs in 17 T20s at an average of 29.33 at a strike rate of 127.07. He has scored a century and a fifty each in the shortest format of the game.
CSK, who have slumped to four straight defeats in the ongoing season, will look to get back to winning ways with a win at Lucknow and Rasheed, could have a big say in the side’s chase after skipper MS Dhoni won the toss against LSG skipper Rishabh Pant and opted to field first considering the possibility of dew as the evening progresses.
