20:29 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: SIX! SIX!
Ayush Badoni gets his first six! Pitched very wide by Overton, slower ball, Badoni just slams it over the covers for a maximum. Top, top shot by the young batter. And 6 more! This one is over fine-leg, pick-up shot!
LSG 95/3 (12)
20:26 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Another great over
CSK have put all the pressure on LSG at the moment. Noor Ahmad concedes just 3 runs in his second over. The home side are batting at just over 7 runs an over. Pant is well-settled, while Badoni has hit a boundary. But can they get to a score of 170 or so?
LSG 81/3 (11)
20:20 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: OUT!
BOWLED! Mitch Marsh is gone, Ravindra Jadeja makes the difference! Huge wicket for CSK, as they break the partnership. Jadeja has struggled for form this season, but this could be a vital wicket to help CSK towards victory.
LSG 73/3 (9.3)
20:17 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Good start by Noor
CSK have turned to Noor Ahmad to try and make a difference, and the Afghan spinner bowls out a tidy over, conceding only 5 runs. Unfortunately, we won’t see a Pooran vs Noor contest today, but Pant looks well-settled now.
LSG 68/2 (9)
20:11 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Late cut, 4!
Beuatiful timing by Rishabh Pant. Picks up his third boundary, this one off Jadeja. Played it so late, but perfectly placed as it runs away for 4 between third man and point. Marsh also hits a boundary. This pair is settling in well.
LSG 63/2 (8)
20:06 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: WHAT A HIT!
Rishabh Pant, wow! That is classic Rishabh Pant. Audacious, bold, unorthodox, and clinical. Reverse scoop for six, and that was hit with supreme class. This is the best Pant has looked all season, can today be the day for a big score?
LSG 52/2 (6.4)
20:03 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: End of the powerplay
A great powerplay for Chennai Super Kings comes to an end. They’ve picked up two huge wickets, in the form of Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran. Khaleel and Kamboj bowled 3 overs each, and excellently too. Onus on Pant and Marsh to take LSG out of trouble.
LSG 42/2 (6)
20:00 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 4!
Shot of conviction by Rishabh Pant! Thundered through square-leg, one bounce and into the fence. Pant is off the mark. With 2 wickets down early, a lot of responsibility on Pant today to make a big contribution.
LSG 39/2 (5.2)
19:55 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 4, 6 Marsh!
Mitch Marsh is getting into rhythm here. It’s as if he did not miss a match at all. First, he pummells a boundary through square-leg, and then sends it over mid-wicket all the way for a maximum. Marsh on song.
LSG 34/2 (4.4)
19:53 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: POORAN OUT!
Massive wicket for CSK! Nicholas Pooran is gone! Anshul Kamboj trapped him on the pads, huge appeal but the umpire said no. Kambj convinces Dhoni to go for the DRS review, and guess what? It works! Three reds shows hawkeye, and the dangerous Pooran is gone for just 8.
LSG 23/2 (4)
19:46 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: SIX!
First maximum of the day for Lucknow Super Giants! Mitch Marsh is back in the playing XI, and back playing the big shots. Sends it over long-off, straight bat for 6. Can these two stitch a big partnership once again?
LSG 18/1 (3.2)
19:45 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: FOUR!
FOUR! Nicholas Pooran does not connect incredibly, but well enough to send it back for 4. First boundary of the day for Pooran. Otherwise, it’s another great over by Khaleel, as he concedes just five runs in the over.
CSK have started off very well here.
LSG 12/1 (3)
19:35 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: OUT!
Khaleel strikes! Aiden Markram is gone in the very first over. Terrific, terrific catch by Rahul Tripathi. Running at full pace, and collects a superb diving catch. Reminds you of Kapil Dev’s iconic catch to dismiss Viv Richards in the 1983 World Cup Final. Early wicket for CSK and they’ve disrupted the in-form opening duo.
LSG 6/1 (1)
19:34 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 4!
Aiden Markram off the mark, LSG up and running! Two dots to start, Khaleel swinging the ball away. But Markram gets on top of the third delivery, and slaps it away through the covers for 4.
LSG 4/0 (0.3)
19:29 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Marsh and Markram to open
LSG are opening with Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram at the top of the order. With Marsh back, Rishabh Pant is back down to the middle order, as LSG stick to their tried and tested combination at the top.
19:22 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Who is Shaik Rasheed?
20-year-old batter Shaik Rasheed hails from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. He was the vice-captain for India in the 2022 U-19 World Cup, which India won. The youngster usually bats at No. 3 or 4, and has been in the CSK camp since 2023.
This is his IPL debut.
19:15 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Orange Cap vs Purple Cap
Today is a battle between the highest run-scorer and the highest wicket-taker of IPL 2025. Nicholas Pooran and Noor Ahmad are likely to face-off during the innings at some point. Can Noor stop the rampaging Pooran tonight?

Chennai Super Kings have dropped Devon Conway and R Ashwin! Two stalwarts of the franchise have been left aside, Shaikh Rasheed and Jamie Overton replace them. Massive call taken by CSK, specially to drop Ashwin who has 765 international wickets and for whom they’d paid Rs 9.75 crore!
19:02 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: CSK WIN TOSS
MS Dhoni wins the toss and decides to bowl vs LSG! So it will be the home team who come out to bat first. Dhoni wins a toss for the first time in IPL 2025, having lost it in their previous match. “Blessed” he says, at the amount of yellow in the crowd.

18:55 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: What changes can be expected?
LSG are set to bring back Mitch Marsh back in their playing XI today. He should take the place of Himmat Singh, who did not bat in their last game. On the other hand, CSK could choose to bring middle-order power-hitter Vansh Bedi in place of Rahul Tripathi.
18:50 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 10 minutes to toss!
We are 10 minutes away from toss time at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant will be leading CSK and LSG respectively. Win the toss, bowl first, is the decision expected to be taken by the toss-winning captain.

LSG vs CSK LIVE: Nicholas Pooran’s record vs CSK
Nicholas Pooran has been in the form of his life in IPL 2025. Pooran has smashed 349 runs in six games at a strike rate of 215 this year, sparing no bowling attack. However, Pooran has only 249 runs in 10 previous encounters against CSK, with a best of 64*.
18:33 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: H2H record
What is the head-to-head record between LSG and CSK? In 5 matches, LSG have won three while CSK have won one. One match between the two franchises also finished as a no-result, but that is unlikely today.
18:28 (IST)
CSK vs LSG LIVE: Mixed soil pitch
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium today is expected to be a mix of red soil and black soil. As a result, it should equally favour spinners and pacers, and we should get a balanced game between bat and ball.
18:27 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Onus on CSK openers
For Chennai Super Kings to do well, their Kiwi opening pair needs to succeed. Rachin Ravindra has failed to fire ever since he slammed a half-century in their first game, while Devon Conway hasn’t been able to accelerate freely.
18:23 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Rishabh Pant’s concern
LSG captain Rishabh Pant has led his team to three victories on the trot, but somehow, he has scored only 40 runs with the bat in IPL 2025 so far. Pant tried opening the batting in their previous match, but couldn’t strike well, making 21 off 18 balls. Can today finally be the day he comes good with the willow in hand?
18:18 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Poor form of CSK stalwarts
Two of CSK’s heaviest investments for IPL 2025 have flopped badly this season. Ravindra Jadeja has scored only 85 runs in six games and picked up 2 wickets, while R Ashwin has taken 5 wickets but conceded nearly 10 runs per over.
The duo cost the franchise a combined Rs 27.75 crore, and MS Dhoni needs to find a way for them to click.
18:15 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Marsh to return?
Mitchell Marsh is set to return for LSG tonight. The Australian opener has been in sensational form this season, having amassed 265 runs in 5 games, but missed out on their last match due to his daughter being unwell. Now, the Australian should return.
If Marsh returns, expect Rishabh Pant to go back to the middle order.
18:02 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Where will MS Dhoni bat?
Against KKR, MS Dhoni walked out to bat at No. 9 yet again, raising questions once more regarding the mess of CSK’s batting order. In an ideal world, CSK fans would like to see their captain come out to bat much higher. It will be interesting to see at what position Dhoni walks in today.
17:59 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Vansh Bedi to get a game?
CSK’s Achilles’ Heel has been to not have many power-hitters in their batting line-up. Except Shivam Dube and at times MS Dhoni, no other CSK batter is of the type to hit sixes from ball 1. Youngster Vansh Bedi built a reputation as a power-hitter in the Delhi Premier League 2024, and has been touted by many to get a game for the men in yellow this season.
17:53 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 5 losses in a row
Chennai Super Kings have a massive headache – their batting unit. CSK’s batting fell apart and were skittled out for 103 by KKR at the Chepauk in their previous match. If they want to win, the batting must perform significantly better than it has done at any match this season.
So what are the changes they can make?
17:41 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: LSG in good form
Lucknow Super Giants have experienced a contrasting fate to that of CSK. LSG have won three in a row, and now find themselves sitting in the Top 4 of the IPL 2025 table. They have only one concern: Captain Rishabh Pant’s form with the bat.
17:40 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Can CSK end slump?
Chennai Super Kings are now rooted to the bottom of the IPL 2025 table, having lost five matches in a row. To make matters worse, CSK’s regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the season due to an elbow fracture. So, with MS Dhoni back, can CSK finally win again?
17:39 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Hello and welcome!
