Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the IPL 2023 match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. It will be a homecoming for MS Dhoni and Co, who will be looking to get their first win of the new season. Stay tuned for more updates.
Preview: It will be homecoming for Chennai Super Kings when they take on Lucknow Super Giants in Match 6 of IPL 2023 at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. For long, Chepauk fans have hoped to see ‘Thala’ Dhoni in CSK colours on their home turf once again, and the moment has finally arrived after almost four years.
The match on Monday against LSG will also provide the opportunity for CSK to open their account in IPL 2023, after they suffered a five-wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans in the season-opener on Friday.
Meanwhile, LSG began their campaign with a 50-run win over Delhi Capitals, so KL Rahul and Co will be coming into this match with full confidence.
Rahul himself will be aiming to get going with the bat, after having managed just eight runs against DC.
England pacer Mark Wood had missed IPL 2022 due to an injury, but he began the 2023 season in some style, scalping a five-wicket haul against the Capitals. It’s still early days into the season, but Wood leads the Purple Cap standings.
Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 92 against the Titans last Friday, and will be looking to get off to another fiery start against Lucknow.
A win for Lucknow will give them the chance to go top of the points table, albeit temporarily.
