Chennai Super Kings overcame an early batting collapse to post a competitive 187 for 5 against Lucknow Super Giants in Match 59 of IPL 2026 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday. Young batter Kartik Sharma played the central role in CSK’s recovery with a composed 71 off 42 balls after the visitors slipped into trouble during the powerplay. Late contributions from Shivam Dube and Prashant Veer further boosted the total as CSK finished strongly in the final overs. LSG now require 188 runs in 20 overs to secure victory.

 

Akash Singh rattles CSK top order

 

After winning the toss and opting to bowl, LSG made an early impact through Akash Singh, who struck twice inside the powerplay. CSK lost Ruturaj Gaikwad for 13 after the opener added 31 runs with his partner at the top.

 

 

Akash then dismissed in-form Sanju Samson for 20 as CSK reached 37 for 2 after six overs. The pressure increased further when Urvil Patel departed for 6, leaving CSK struggling for momentum.

 

Kartik Sharma anchors CSK recovery

 

With the innings under pressure, Kartik Sharma and Dewald Brevis rebuilt the innings with an aggressive partnership. The pair added 70 runs for the fourth wicket and shifted the momentum back towards CSK.

 

Kartik continued to attack the bowlers confidently and reached his second IPL fifty in 35 deliveries. Brevis contributed a quick 25 off 16 balls before Mohammed Shami broke the stand.

 

Dube finishes strongly for CSK

 

Kartik remained the backbone of the innings before falling for 71 off 42 balls to Shahbaz Ahmed. His innings ensured CSK remained on course for a strong finish despite the early setbacks.

 

In the closing overs, Shivam Dube accelerated the scoring with an unbeaten 32 off 16 balls, while Prashant Veer added 13 not out off 10 deliveries. The duo shared an unbroken 45-run partnership for the sixth wicket to guide CSK to 187 for 5.

The coin flip of the match went in LSG's way who opted to bowl first.

 

Captain's take after toss:

 

Rishabh Pant (LSG): We are looking to bowl first. Wicket is looking little bit tacky, so didn't want us to go out there and bat. We have lot to achieve as a team. We are a team that runs on trust, we are trying few things for the next season, and give our 200%. There is no running away from the way we have played this season, but there are lot of positives. We know we have it as a team, but it hasn't worked, we have to improve each and every day.

 

Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK): It is a privelege to have, privalege to wear the yellow jersery. It is a venue where you have to bat and bowl well. There is a bit of moisture to start, but if we start well and get to 170-180 then it would be a challenging total. It is tough, you need to keep changing a lot, but it something which we cannot control but also gives an opportunity to the players, Urvil coming in, Mukesh coming in, it helps them grow and whenever we have a good squad, we deliver. It has been a must-win for a while now and we want to take it one game at a time. We have a couple of changes - Spencer Johnson makes his debut and Gurjapneet comes in for Akeal.
