IPL 2023 Match 6, CSK vs LSG, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

The Indian Premier League (IPL) returns to the Chepauk Stadium as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match no. 6 of the sixteenth edition on Monday, April 03, 2023, at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both sides will clash again in the reverse fixture in Match no.46 on Thursday, May 04 at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The four-time champions CSK began their current campaign with a loss against defending champions Gujarat Titans on the opening day. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s blazing knock of 92 off just 50 which included four fours and nine maximums went in vain as GT clinched the contest by a margin of five wickets. On the other hand, LSG, who made it to the Playoffs last year in their maiden season, started IPL 2023 with a resounding victory.

The Super Giants beat Delhi Capitals in Lucknow by a 50-run margin. Speedster Mark Wood rocked the Capital’s side with his fiery spell of 5/14 (4). KL Rahul and his LSG team will look to keep the winning momentum going while MS Dhoni’s CSK would be hoping to claim their first win of the brand new sixteenth season of the cash-rich league on their home ground.
