In contrast, the Chennai Super Kings are having a tough season. With just one victory in five outings, they continue to struggle in finding the right balance within their squad. The absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad due to injury has further compounded their problems. Even the return of MS Dhoni to the leadership role hasn't sparked a turnaround, as CSK recently slumped to a disappointing loss against KKR. Check IPL 2025 LSG vs CSK LIVE SCORE UPDATES here
