In Match 30 of IPL 2025, the Lucknow Super Giants hosted the Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday night. CSK captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Batting first, LSG managed to put up a total of 166/7. Skipper Rishabh Pant played a crucial knock, anchoring the innings with a composed 63 off 49 balls, including a stunning one-handed six over deep mid-wicket to bring up his half-century.
Mitchell Marsh chipped in with a valuable 30 off 25 at the top. Chennai’s pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj made early inroads during the powerplay, each picking up a wicket. In the middle overs, Ravindra Jadeja kept things tight, claiming 2 wickets for just 24 runs in his three-over spell, keeping the LSG batters in check.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl first against LSG in Lucknow. Both skippers after the toss: Rishabh Pant: It's just amazing. We would have bowled first. In Lucknow it's slower in the first innings, gets better gradually. The only thing we talked about CSK is that we don't want to give them an opening, just need to give our 100%. We want to go out there and play good cricket. Only one change - Marsh comes back in for Himmat Singh. MS Dhoni: We are blessed, we get good support wherever we go. 'Thank you', to all the fans. We want to bowl first, there's chances of dew here. The wicket gets better in the second innings. It's important to set the right temperament. We haven't been consistent with our batting. With the ball we have strong back strong. It's important to have a positive mindset, play those big shots. It's a matter of time. We have a couple of changes. Overton and Rasheed come in for Ash and Conway.
