He brilliantly takes a single on Mohammed Shami's delivery and completes his fifty. He then takes out a paper from his pocket with a note, "This is for you Papa." Seeing this, MS Dhoni's wife Sakshi gives a standing ovation. 

CSK 108/1 (7 overs)

Urvil Patel is on the verge of a world record for Chennai Super Kings against Lucknow Super Giants. He needs eight runs in three balls to bring up the fastest fifty by a batter in the history of IPL. In the previous over of Digvesh Rathi, he hammered three sixes and a boundary as the spinner conceded 25 runs. 

CSK 97/1 (6 overs)

CSK 72/1 (5 overs)

LSG 159/6 (16 overs)

OUT!!! Jamie Overton does it again and this time, Akshat Raghuwanshi becomes his prey and departs for 18. Raghuwanshi tries to steal a boundary but his shot lands into the hands of Urvil Patel at the mid-off. The extra bounce from Overton does the work as LSG lose their sixth wicket. 

LSG 147/6 (14.2 overs)

FOUR!!! Akshat Raghuwanshi hits a brilliant boundary on Mukesh Choudhary's delivery. Raghuwanshi runs down the pitch, makes room and then drills the drive past cover for a boundary. LSG need a solid partnership from Raghuwanshi and Shahbaz Ahmed, in order to put up a big total on the board. 

LSG 146/5 (14 overs)

OUT!!! What just happened here? Dewald Brevis just showed his fielding brilliance and ran Aiden Markram out for six. Akshwat Raghuwanshi played a shot towards the deep mid-wicket and ran for single.

LSG 130/4 (12.1 overs)

Chennai Super Kings are now getting an edge over Lucknow Super Giants. After losing wicket in quick successions, LSG batters Aiden Markram and Akshat Raghuwanshi are not taking any risks now.

LSG 129/4 (12 overs)

LSG 112/3 (9.1 overs)

This also marks the end of the powerplay and the focus will now be on Inglis and Nicholas Pooran's partnership. 

LSG 91/1 (6 overs)

OUT!!! Finally, Chennai Super Kings get the first breakthrough of the day as Anshul Kamboj dismisses Mitchell Marsh for 10.

LSG 77/1 (5.1 overs)

LSG 63/0 (4.2 overs)

Josh Inglis is simply toying with the field. He is taking every other bowler to the cleaners with absolutely magnificent hitting. In the previous over of Mukesh Choudhary, he hit three boundaries and a maximum, getting 18 runs from the over. With this, Inglis has also breached the 40-run mark, inching towards his half-century. 

LSG 58/0 (4 overs)

The carnage continues and this time, Mitchell Marsh also contributed with a maximum on Anshul Kamboj. In total, Kamboj conceded 16 runs in the over, including two sixes from both Marsh and Josh Inglis. LSG are looking unstoppable at the moment. 

LSG 40/0 (3 overs)

16 runs by Akeal Hosein is the second-most conceded by a CSK bowler in the first over of an IPL innings at Chepauk, after 18 by Deepak Chahar against KKR in 2018.

Josh Inglis is playing fearless cricket and providing Lucknow Super Giants with the early momentum.

LSG 24/0 (2 overs)

Lucknow Super Giants are off to a superb start against Chennai Super Kings. In the first over by Akeal Hosein, the duo of Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh scored 16 runs.

LSG 16/0 (1 over)

The IPL 2026 match between CSK and LSG finally begins. For LSG, Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis have opened the proceedings. Marsh will be egar to play another big knock after getting a century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the previous game. On the other hand, Akeal Hosein will be bowling the first over for CSK. 

Mitchell marsh is on verge of a historic IPL feat. He needs just two more sixes to complete 100 maximums in the IPL. Can he achieve this feat today? Only time will tell.

"We would have bowled first as well. We're definitely trying to look at each and every match from here. But at the same time, we've got to be consistent and look to play good cricket. I think just looking to play good cricket as of now. We had our moments. We had our chances in a lot of games but we couldn't finish it up . And that's the learning for us - as we move forward in the tournament, that's the only thing, like I said in Mumbai that we're going to give our 200% regardless of every match. And we're trying to do that. We have two changes in the team. Josh Inglis comes in because he was injured in the last game, and Avesh comes in for Mayank," said LSG skipper Rishabh Pant. 

"We're going to bowl first. The simple reason, the wicket has been covered for a while and there was a rain around as well, so nothing special. (Does the pitch play differently in day matches?) Yes, it does play differently. The other day game I thought it played too much differently than what we had expected. But I think our job is to adapt quickly as possible and try and do the rest. Bowling first, we will try and assess the couple of overs and then after that look to restrict them as soon as possible. (Mood in the dressing room) Yes, it's pretty much positive how the last 7-8 games have gone for us. To turn it around after the first three games that we lost, it's a commendable effort from everyone. It is just that everyone is really positive. Everyone is really eager to turn it around and just try and keep it just as simple as possible. We are playing with the same team," said CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. 

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad wins the toss, opts to field against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2026 match. 

"We are here at Chepauk to host this exciting clash. Regarding the ground dimensions, the longest boundary is straight down the ground at 70 meters in the ‘V.’ As you move toward the squares, it tapers down to the mid-60s, while behind square, it's roughly 61 meters. To look closer at the surface, I’m joined by England’s World Cup-winning captain, Eoin Morgan. Eoin, what are your views on this pitch? Good afternoon, Raman. It’s an interesting surface. We’ve seen three games here in a short span over the last few months, two during the World Cup and one in this year's IPL. That IPL fixture featured an absolutely beautiful hundred from Sanju Samson; notably, it was a day-night game. However, we’ve had a couple of rainy days recently," reckon WV Raman & Eoin Morgan

While new recruit Sanju Samson has emerged as the team's batting anchor and "backbone", skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has struggled for consistency with the bat this season. After a poor start, Ruturaj has regained form in the beginning of this month with crucial unbeaten knocks of 74 and 67, his resurgence helping steer CSK towards the top five, even though he failed in their last outing against Delhi Capitals with Samson remaining unbeaten on a match-winning 52-ball 87.

Returning to Chepauk could offer the five-time champions an opportunity to regain momentum against Lucknow Super Giants who have endured a forgettable season and are already staring at an exit. So far, LSG have lost seven out of their first ten matches. 

“CSK are the kind of side that don’t like their winning streak to end. They don’t tinker much with their winning combination, and they believe in backing their players,” Kumble told Jio Hotstar. “But even if MS Dhoni manages to regain the required fitness levels, I feel he will not want to come into the playing XI because CSK are doing well. He will not take the chance of disrupting the team’s momentum and the player combination that has helped them win,” Kumble said.

Former India captain Anil Kumble believes veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni may not feature for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) despite working hard to regain full match fitness, as the five-time champions would not want to disturb a successful combination.

The sixth-placed Chennai Super Kings will look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they face a beleaguered Lucknow Super Giants, currently languishing at the bottom of the points table. With the league stage entering a decisive phase, CSK still remain in contention for a top-four finish despite an inconsistent campaign marked by batting collapses and patchy performances both at home and away.
