CSK vs LSG Live Score: Request for Dhoni

CSK vs LSG Live Score: Here’s what Ruturaj Gaikwad said at the toss

“Nothing different, but the coin toss is something I need to work on. There will be some dew later on, but you never know how the wicket will surprise you. You just need to go out there and express yourself, if the ball in in your area they just attack it. Hoping to set the foundation upfront. One change for us – Daryl comes in for Rachin.”

CSK vs LSG Live Score: Here’s what KL Rahul said at the toss

“We’ll bowl first. There is a bit of dew, we have trained here and there is a bit of dew that will play an impact. Wicket is a bit slow and hopefully we can put their batters under pressure. We played well in all three facets, but we have left the result back in Lucknow. We know have challenging Chennai is, everyone will be cheering for them. Same team for us. No need to quieten the crowd, they always encourage good cricket.”

CSK vs LSG Live Score: Toss

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday. 

CSK vs LSG Live Score: Pitch report

“Two teams within whispering distance of each other, so that makes this game so very important. It was very hot in the afternoon, but it is cooling down a bit now. We are very central on this lovely playing surface. To the right, it is about 66m and only one meter bigger on the left side. Down the ground it is 78m. This feels like a wicket of two halves. The half where we are standing have some specklings of grass, but the far end has a nice even covering of grass. It is not going to be a 200 sort of wicket, it is going to be a real dogfight,” said Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden.

CSK vs LSG Live Score: Will Gaikwad open today?

Having scored three 50-plus scores as an opener so far, it would once again be a tricky call for Gaikwad to whether stick to the latest shuffle or promote himself back to the top. While Ravindra Jadeja stepped up with a composed fifty, which allowed Moeen Ali and MS Dhoni to produce the late fireworks and give the team a fighting total, CSK would hope their top-order gets their act together before they face LSG again.

CSK vs LSG Live Score: CSK’s top-order

For CSK, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube have done bulk of the scoring and their failure against LSG meant they didn’t get a flying start and also struggled in the middle overs. While opener Rachin Ravindra’s form is a concern, CSK also promoted Ajinkya Rahane as the opener and as a result, Gaikwad pushed himself a spot down to three.

CSK vs LSG Live Score: CSK eye revenge

In the previous match between these two teams, Lucknow Super Giants emerged victorious by eight wickets. Now, Chennai Super Kings will be eager to extract revenge from KL Rahul and co and register their fifth win of the season.
