They have not played much against each other in the past. Nevertheless, Pant did play against Ahmad in one of the recent seasons, scoring 21 runs off 15 balls without being dismissed. He also scored 2 fours and a six in that little battle. The manner in which Pant deals with Noor during the play might provide him with a good beginning for LSG.

From LSG, he is likely to play against Ravindra Jadeja, who has been a vital spinner and all-rounder of CSK. Markram has faced Jadeja in three matches between 2022 and 2024. Overall, Markram has managed to score 27 runs off 24 balls without ever being dismissed by Jadeja. What's more interesting is that he hasn't been able to score a single four and has only one six off all those balls. Jadeja has also managed to bowl 5 dot balls to him. This reveals that Jadeja has silenced Markram thus far. It will be a challenge for Markram to overcome Jadeja's strict bowling in this match.
