IPL 2026: CSK vs LSG Preview:
Chennai Super Kings started IPL 2026 with a loss in three matches. However, after losing a hat-trick of matches, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side bounced back under Sanju Samson’s dominance with the bat. With Samson gradually finding form and some remarkable moves by the CSK bowlers, they are well and truly back in the playoff race. Having played ten matches this season, they are sixth in the points table with five wins in the season.
Lucknow Super Giants had a different fate in the competition. Despite some brilliant players in the XI, the Rishabh Pant-led side struggled with the bat. However, bowling has been their key this season, which may benefit them at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, a track that is known to favor bowlers to a great extent. LSG is last on the points table with three wins after ten matches.
The CSK vs LSG match will be a do or die game for the Super Giants as they will be officially out of the competition. While Chennai Super Kings would like to enter the top four with a win, they will also aim to increase their net run rate by some margin. Having clashed on prior occasions, the Super Giants have won three out of the 6 matches between these two sides.
