Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings IPL Match Today: The in-form Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on the struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 30 of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) set to take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday.
LSG, under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, have been punching well above their weight, despite a depleted bowling unit. So far in the season, they have won a total of four games out of the six played so far and are third in the points table thanks to their net run-rate of 0.162. They are coming in after a stellar win against the Gujarat Titans by a margin of 6 wickets.
CSK, on the other hand, have been far from their best. They also suffered a big blow, losing their skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was ruled out of the season due to injury. The big positive for the fans is that MS Dhoni will lead the side for the remaining season, but that has not stopped their losing streak after just one win in their season-opener.
The weather in Lucknow is expected to be warm and humid with temperatures touching 29 degrees Celsius mark with the humidity levels around 40 per cent as per forecasts from Weather.com. There is hardly any chance of rain and we can expect a full game without any interruptions.
Lucknow Super Giants have the upper hand over Chennai Super Kings in the five IPL matches played between the two sides. LSG have beaten CSK on three occasions, one loss and one game ending without a result.
Ahead of the 33rd match of IPL 2025, here’s a look at the head-to-head stats of the IPL matches played so far between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings.
LSG Probable XI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Abdul Samad, David Miller, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Digvesh Rathi
LSG Impact Subs: Shamar Joseph, Matthew Breetzke, Shahbaz Ahmed, Prince Yadav, Ayush Badoni
CSK Probable XI: Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Noor Ahmad, Ravichandran Ashwin, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
CSK Impact Subs: Shreyas Gopal, Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran, Gurjapneet Singh, Andre Siddarth, Vensh Bedi, Mukesh Choudhary
Nicholas Pooran: The leading run-scorer for the season and Pooran has looked at his blistering best so far. His uncanny ability to attack against any bowler and keep the boundaries rolling for his side makes him LSG’s biggest threat so far.
Noor Ahmad: The left-arm wrist-spinner has been the shining light for CSK, but the side has not been using him to maximise his output. He will certainly play a big role should Chennai get back to winning ways.
Mitchell Marsh: The Australian opening batter could make his return to the side, and his addition makes LSG’s opening pair all the more explosive. Should LSG want to get a big score on the board, Marsh will be expected to start off quickly, and his ability to hit hard could be a big problem for CSK.

Shardul Thakur: The all-rounder has been in fine form, particularly with the ball. After being unsold in the auction and coming in as a replacement, Thakur has not looked back and has cemented his position as the leading bowler in the franchise for the moment. They will bank
Digvesh Rathi: The mystery spinner has stepped up to the challenge that the IPL poses and seems to be well settled in the side. The franchise will be banking on more celebrations from him if he is able to continue his wicket-taking form.
