CSK vs LSG: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 53 of IPL 2026
The CSK vs LSG match of the IPL 2026 will be played in Chennai on Sunday.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are scheduled to face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 53 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. On Sunday, this contest will be held at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, starting at 3:30 PM IST.
These two sides are on the opposite ends of the leader-board. After a slow start, CSK have found the right pace to stay in the competition. A couple more wins will boost their chances of the playoffs. LSG have been terrible, and with only three wins, they are placed at the bottom.
However, LSG stunned Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the previous game. CSK can’t take them lightly. Both sides have several superstars, and there are many good players to choose from for the Dream11 team.
Hence, we have suggested five players from the CSK vs LSG clash who could be a perfect choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.
Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the CSK vs LSG clash
1. Sanju Samson
CSK have won five games this season, and in three matches, Sanju Samson has won the Player of the Match award. That shows the impact of this player on the team’s success.
Samson is the leading scorer for CSK. He has scored 402 runs at an average of 57.42 and a strike rate of 167.50, with two centuries and one half-century. He has also contributed with the gloves for CSK.
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad
After a poor start, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has shown good form. In his last three games, he has scored two half-centuries to take the team to a win.
The captain has scored 251 runs at 31.37 and a strike rate of 120.67. These overall stats don’t look good, but his recent form is pretty decent. With CSK needing this win, you can bet on the captain to score runs.
3. Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh has been in brilliant form. He slammed a 49-ball century in the last game against RCB and played a major role in the win. In his last six innings, he has gotten out only once in a single digit, and all other five scores are 40 or more.
Overall, Marsh has scored 367 runs at an average of 36.70 and a strike rate of 152.91. He is scoring runs in almost every game, and his aggressive style of play makes him a good Dream11 pick for this game.
4. Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran scored 82 runs in his first 8 innings and was struggling badly. But fans have witnessed the vintage Pooran in the last two games for LSG.
In the last two innings, he has faced a total of 44 balls and scored 101 runs with nine sixes and five fours. That is why he is very dangerous and is a must-have for the Dream11 team.
5. Jamie Overton
Jamie Overton has been quietly contributing for CSK this season. He has overshadowed the other CSK stars and has been pretty good with bat and ball for the team.
With the bat, Overton has scored 136 runs at an average of 34 and a strike rate of 158.13. With the ball, he has taken 11 wickets at an economy rate of 8.87. So, he is a good all-rounder for the Dream11 team.
