LSG vs CSK LIVE: Victory, at last
After five consecutive losses, Chennai Super Kings are victorious once again in IPL 2025. A game where many players stepped up. Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmad bowled well, Shaikh Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra gave a flying start, and Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni finished it off.

They stay bottom of the table, but every team has won at least 2 games now.

LSG vs CSK LIVE: Did Pant make the right choices?
Ravi Bishnoi had an over left that he never got to bowl. Once Dhoni walked in, Rishabh Pant went with all pace. Avesh did well, but Shardul couldn't deliver in the crunch moment. Pant admits that it crossed his mind to give Bishnoi an over, but he opted otherwise.
