Lucknow’s left-arm fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat proved to be very expensive in the first match. He scored 39 runs in 3 overs against Delhi with an economy of 13. On the other hand, the pitch of Chennai is considered favorable for spin bowlers. In such a situation, in place of Unadkat, KL Rahul can give a chance to any spin bowler in the match.
