CSK vs LSG, IPL 2023: Records and Stats at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

Two Teams that currently hold the Orange Cap and Purple Cap Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face each other in match number 6 of the IPL 2023 at the famous M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday, April 3.

Chennai Super Kings, come to the contest after losing their season opener against the defending champions Gujarat Titans. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad displayed his batting ability in the curtain raiser and became the batter to score the first half-century of IPL 2023.  The uncapped debutant, Rajvardhan Hangargekar was pretty impressive in the first match as he took three wickets. CSK would expect their marquee players to step-up in the upcoming clash to go back to winning ways.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have begun their campaign with an emphatic win over Delhi Capitals. All-round performances from the team led by Kyle Mayers’ 73-run knock and Mark Wood’s fifer helped them become the first team to win a IPL game at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Kyle Mayers toyed with the Delhi bowlers with his six hitting ability, smashing seven maximums and from the bowlers Mark Wood ran through the Delhi batters with his fiery-pace bowling, leaving them clueless. LSG will look to continue their winning run to go deep in the tournament.

CSK vs LSG Head to Head record:

Both teams have met only once in the history of IPL in which Lucknow Super Giants defeated the Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings by chasing a massive total of 211 with six wickets to spare.
