Today in the IPL, fans will witness an exciting match between a guru and his disciple. Chennai Super Kings (CSK), led by MS Dhoni, will look to break their streak of 5 consecutive losses. On the other side, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), captained by Rishabh Pant, will aim for a win to reach the top spot in the points table. The match will be played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, starting at 7:30 PM.
LSG’s Current Position
At the moment, Lucknow Super Giants are in 4th place on the points table. They have played 6 matches, winning 4 and losing 2, with a net run rate of +0.162. If they win today, they’ll reach 10 points and move to the number 1 position, pushing Gujarat Titans down.
LSG’s star batsman Nicholas Pooran is in great form, and if CSK wants to win, they’ll need to dismiss him early. However, Rishabh Pant’s poor form remains a concern for the team.
