Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to face the real Chepauk in their reverse fixture against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday. The match will be held at the iconic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the home ground of CSK.
LSG captain KL Rahul recently expressed his admiration for MS Dhoni and the legacy he has built in Chennai. The Super Giants will be hoping to continue their winning ways after snapping their two-match losing streak with a convincing victory over CSK in their last encounter at the Ekana Stadium.
A target of 176 was chased down with relative ease by LSG, thanks to impressive performances from Quinton de Kock and Rahul. However, CSK will be looking to bounce back on their home turf, where they are expected to field a strong side led by Dhoni.
CSK and LSG are currently neck and neck in the league table, with 8 points from 7 matches each. CSK holds a slight edge due to a superior net run rate, but that could change in Tuesday’s game.
The conditions in Chennai are expected to be hot and humid, requiring players to stay well-hydrated throughout the match.
