CSK vs LSG LIVE Score

Lucknow Super Giants are off to a superb start against Chennai Super Kings. In the first over by Akeal Hosein, the duo of Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh scored 16 runs. This included a maximum and two back-to-back boundaries from Inglis. It is worth noting that Inglis missed the previous game due to an injury.

LSG 16/0 (1 over)

"We would have bowled first as well. We're definitely trying to look at each and every match from here. But at the same time, we've got to be consistent and look to play good cricket. I think just looking to play good cricket as of now. We had our moments. We had our chances in a lot of games but we couldn't finish it up . And that's the learning for us - as we move forward in the tournament, that's the only thing, like I said in Mumbai that we're going to give our 200% regardless of every match. And we're trying to do that. We have two changes in the team. Josh Inglis comes in because he was injured in the last game, and Avesh comes in for Mayank," said LSG skipper Rishabh Pant.

"We're going to bowl first. The simple reason, the wicket has been covered for a while and there was a rain around as well, so nothing special. (Does the pitch play differently in day matches?) Yes, it does play differently. The other day game I thought it played too much differently than what we had expected. But I think our job is to adapt quickly as possible and try and do the rest. Bowling first, we will try and assess the couple of overs and then after that look to restrict them as soon as possible. (Mood in the dressing room) Yes, it's pretty much positive how the last 7-8 games have gone for us. To turn it around after the first three games that we lost, it's a commendable effort from everyone. It is just that everyone is really positive. Everyone is really eager to turn it around and just try and keep it just as simple as possible. We are playing with the same team," said CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.

"We are here at Chepauk to host this exciting clash. Regarding the ground dimensions, the longest boundary is straight down the ground at 70 meters in the ‘V.’ As you move toward the squares, it tapers down to the mid-60s, while behind square, it's roughly 61 meters. To look closer at the surface, I’m joined by England’s World Cup-winning captain, Eoin Morgan. Eoin, what are your views on this pitch? Good afternoon, Raman. It’s an interesting surface. We’ve seen three games here in a short span over the last few months, two during the World Cup and one in this year's IPL. That IPL fixture featured an absolutely beautiful hundred from Sanju Samson; notably, it was a day-night game. However, we’ve had a couple of rainy days recently," reckon WV Raman & Eoin Morgan

“CSK are the kind of side that don’t like their winning streak to end. They don’t tinker much with their winning combination, and they believe in backing their players,” Kumble told Jio Hotstar. “But even if MS Dhoni manages to regain the required fitness levels, I feel he will not want to come into the playing XI because CSK are doing well. He will not take the chance of disrupting the team’s momentum and the player combination that has helped them win,” Kumble said.
