Match Preview: LSG vs CSK, IPL 2025
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
LSG are riding high on form, with three consecutive wins, currently holding the 3rd position on the points table. Their recent win came against Gujarat Titans where Nicholas Pooran (61 off 34) and Aiden Markram (58 off 31) delivered match-winning performances.
Pooran has already scored 349 runs in 6 matches and is the leading run-scorer of IPL 2025. On the bowling side, Shardul Thakur and Digvesh Rathi have been the key, with 11 and 8 wickets respectively.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
CSK are in a tough spot, having lost five matches in a row and now sitting at the bottom (10th place) on the points table. The absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad has hit their batting hard. While Shivam Dube has shown some resistance, the rest of the batting has failed to fire.
Their bowling has been slightly better with Noor Ahmad leading the attack with 12 wickets in 6 matches. But their inconsistency in both departments remains a major concern.
