Lucknow Super Giants Preview

LSG have grown from dark horses to title contenders in IPL 2025. Currently placed in the top 4, they are showing signs of a well-balanced unit that can challenge any opposition. Their last match was a confident 6-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at home, chasing 181 thanks to blazing half-centuries from Nicholas Pooran (61 off 34) and Aiden Markram (58 off 31). Pooran, the tournament’s top scorer, has amassed 349 runs in just six innings with a stunning strike rate above 215.
The availability of Mitchell Marsh is still uncertain, but even without him, the top order is formidable. However, the middle order remains under pressure due to Rishabh Pant’s prolonged slump and David Miller’s inconsistency.
Their bowling unit has been patchy. Shardul Thakur is picking up wickets (11 so far) but leaks runs, while Akash Deep and Ravi Bishnoi have struggled with economy. The saving grace has been Digvesh Rathi, who has provided control and breakthroughs at crucial moments.
Chennai Super Kings Preview

CSK are reeling. Five consecutive losses have dropped them near the bottom of the table, and the issues are piling up. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury has created a huge void at the top, and his absence was deeply felt in their 8-wicket defeat against KKR, where CSK collapsed to 103-9.
Shivam Dube is the only batter offering resistance—he’s played quickfire cameos in back-to-back games—but the rest of the unit is crumbling. Conway and Rachin Ravindra haven’t fired, and middle-order men like Tripathi and Shankar have been unable to hold fort or accelerate.
Their bowling hasn’t provided much relief either. While Noor Ahmad has picked up 12 wickets and bowled smartly in the middle overs, the rest of the attack is struggling. Khaleel Ahmed starts strong but lacks support. Veterans like Ashwin and Jadeja haven’t delivered the breakthroughs or controlled runs.
To have any chance in this match, CSK will need a collective resurgence. Otherwise, their playoff hopes could be extinguished.
