CHENNAI SUPER KINGS CLASHES WITH LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS AT BHARAT RATNA SHREE ATAL BEHARI VAJPAYEEJI EKANA CRICKET STADIUM TODAY!!
Chennai Super Kings will face Lucknow Super Giants in Match 30 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday, with CSK looking to break their five-match losing streak while LSG aims to continue their winning momentum.
Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings have played each other five times in IPL, where the Super Giants has the upper hand with 3 wins, while the Chennai franchise emerged victorious only once with one other game finishing without any result.
The return of MS Dhoni as captain, following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury, failed to improve the team’s fortunes in their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders. CSK’s middle-order batting inconsistency and overdependence on top-order batsmen have been major concerns.

Lucknow Super Giants revamped their squad for IPL 2025, parting with KL Rahul and appointing Rishabh Pant as captain. They bolstered their lineup with stars like David Miller, Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. Their powerful batting unit looks strong, but their pace attack’s fitness remains a concern.
CSK, the five-time IPL champions, are experiencing an unprecedented slump, having lost five consecutive matches. The team’s struggles include three consecutive home losses at MA Chidambaram Stadium, a first in their IPL history.

That’s what our strength will be. But if we lose too many wickets, the middle order needs do their role differently and the slog has been delayed for quite a while.” When CSK won the IPL title in 2023, they had a similar top order with two accumulators, but the middle order dripped with power and versatility.
In the match between Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab, Raina’s innings of 87 off 25 balls is considered one of the best in Indian T20 League history, despite his team losing the match.
LSG enters the match with high confidence after a convincing six-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans. Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram’s half-centuries were instrumental in securing LSG’s fourth win of IPL 2025.

Pooran continues to lead the orange cap race with 349 runs, following his impressive 61 off 34 balls against Gujarat Titans. Mitchell Marsh, who missed the GT match due to his daughter’s illness, holds the third position with 265 runs. LSG’s bowling unit, featuring Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, and Shardul Thakur, performed effectively against Gujarat Titans. Thakur’s two-wicket haul in the previous match has placed him second in the Purple Cap list with 11 wickets, just behind CSK’s Noor Ahmad.
The team standings show LSG in third place with four wins from six matches, while CSK occupies the bottom position with just one victory in six games. In their head-to-head encounters, LSG holds a superior record against CSK, winning three out of five matches, with one match producing no result.
Under Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK have won five IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023 and two Champions League trophies as well.
Awaiting THALA Dhoni to stump at 0.08 seconds magic again!!
High expectations await as Captain M. S. Dhoni steps out at BHARAT RATNA SHRI ATAL BEHARI VAJPAYEE EKANA CRICKET STADIUM.
