In IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is going through their worst phase. CSK has lost five consecutive matches, which is a first in the history of the IPL. Not only that, but the team has also suffered three consecutive losses at home, something that has never happened before. Now, CSK will look to break the losing streak against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
However, with regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad out for the entire season, it won’t be an easy task for Chennai. The absence of Gaikwad has weakened their batting, and now the pressure is on Rahul Tripathi, who comes in at number three in place of Gaikwad, to perform well. The team will also need a good performance from experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
Lucknow Looks for Fourth Consecutive Win
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants will be aiming for their fourth consecutive win. Both their bowlers and batsmen have been contributing, which has put them on a winning streak. Fans will expect better performance from captain Rishabh Pant. It will also be interesting to see whether Mitchell Marsh returns to the playing XI against Chennai, as he missed the last match due to his daughter’s illness.
