IPL 2025, LSG vs CSK Highlights:
Rishabh Pant hit back against critics with his lack of performances through the season as she smashed his maiden fifty of the season, powering Lucknow Super Giants to set a target of 167 runs against the Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Chennai, after a long period of struggle through the season, finally stand a chance to take the win here considering their inability to chase a total in excess of 180 runs. They will fancy their chances coming into the second innings and hope their batters can put together a collective performance to end their historic four-match losing streak
Pressure will be on the hosts to begin on a strong note and will bank on the likes of Shardul Thakur alongside Akash Deep to take advantage of the powerplay.
