Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will play host to MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match no. 45 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. A win for either of the two sides will help them join Gujarat Titans at the top of the IPL 2023 Points Table with 12 points to their name.
LSG must be still reeling from an action-packed match just a day earlier against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) which they lost by 18 runs in Lucknow. The match ended with a massive fight between LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir and RCB batter Virat Kohli in which both were docked 100 per cent of their match fees. LSG bowler Naveen-ul-haq, who was also involved in a verbal argument with Kohli, was fined 50 per cent of his match fees.
Dhoni’s CSK are also coming into this match on the back of a loss against Punjab Kings at home in Chepauk. They will look to complete a double over LSG this season, having defeated them by 12 runs in Chennai earlier this season. LSG have a couple of major injury concerns with KL Rahul and Jaydev Unadkat both struggling with injuries.
