Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be hitting the road to play Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match no-30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season. This huge game of big stakes will be played at Lucknow’s Ekana Sports City Stadium on Monday evening.
On current form, CSK are the worst team in the league. They are winless since the opening game when they beat Mumbai Indians by four wickets. The five-time champions have lost the last five games and sit at the foot of the table.
Lucknow Super Giants are sitting third on the points table. They are one of the most in-form teams in the league at the moment, winning four times in the last five matches.
