CSK vs LSG: Head to Head Record
As they battle each other for supremacy in the Indian Premier League at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, both teams’ fortunes will come into focus as they play out an intense encounter. LSG are coming off an undefeated run while CSK have lost five consecutive matches.
LSG had an emphatic win in their previous match against Gujarat Titans (GT) by six wickets, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten century and Nicholas Pooran’s superb effort in scoring an unbeaten fifty. Moeen Ali, Ravi Bishnoi and Deepak Hooda each took three or more wickets with their bowling attack.
Last time these teams faced each other was an exciting contest – visitors Ruturaj Gaikwad managed a brilliant century and Shivam Dubey managed an aggressive fifty in scoring 210 runs against their hosts’ strong chase led by Marcus Stoinis, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock.
CSK have struggled this season and their poor form has seen them fall to second last in the points table. Key players such as Karn Sharma and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad have been absent while MS Dhoni hasn’t been his usual self.
But the team still possesses the talent to turn things around, and will aim to win this crucial encounter against LSG. The pitch at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bahari Vajpayee Ekana cricket stadium should favor batters so it will be fascinating to see who wins the toss and opts to bat first.
Head-to-head between these teams has yielded one win each, with one match ending in a tie. A rematch promises another thrilling showdown between these sides – they have only played three times against each other so far in the IPL, yet their rivalry promises to be exciting!
CSK vs LSG: Pitch Conditions
After suffering an embarrassing loss to MI on Thursday night, CSK will aim to bounce back against LSG on Monday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. While their hosts boast three consecutive wins this season and MS Dhoni will look to end his team’s poor start this time around.
LSG and CSK have met five times throughout IPL history, each team posting an equal head-to-head record; however, LSG have shown slight superiority by winning three out of their five meetings while one ended without an outcome.
At Ekana Cricket Stadium in their last meeting between these two sides, LSG defeated CSK by six wickets after winning the toss and electing to bat first. Under Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran’s expert batsmen leadership, LSG chased down their target of 180 with ease.
CSK continued their struggles at bat as they failed to amass enough runs for an acceptable total. The visitors lost both openers early, while even their middle order could not provide sufficient runs. This was partly down to not having an experienced run scorer such as Rahul Tripathi or Deepak Hooda making an impression, and partially because no consistent run scorer emerged within their ranks – each struggled in different ways with scoring runs for CSK.
LSG have recorded four wins out of their first six matches to move them into fourth position on the points table, while CSK sit at the bottom with only one triumph so far in six contests. Both sides will hope that Monday’s meeting at Bharat Ratna Sir Atal Bihari Vajpayee stadium can put an end to any current losing streaks and put on their respective best performances against each other.
Ekana Cricket Stadium’s pitch will likely be fast and dry. Spinners will find particular assistance here; moreover, this low-scoring ground tends to favour those who play quickly. As no rain is predicted for this match, both teams could opt to bat first early on to establish themselves early. At this venue, batting first has seen an average score of 184, and those chasing have won six out of ten matches here since IPL 2024. Weather forecast for Monday calls for sunny conditions with temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius, dry pitch conditions with minimal grass coverage, slow ball delivery to bat and both teams likely having some success with it. There is the chance of late-day rainfall – this will be determined closer to match time.
CSK vs LSG: Predictions
After suffering an abhorrent start to their IPL 2025 campaign, Chennai Super Kings have fallen out of contention, losing five consecutive matches and falling to the bottom of the table. When taking on LSG at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, Chennai Super Kings will hope for an upset victory and hope they can turn it all around.
LSG have edged CSK in recent head-to-head meetings, winning three times against CSK’s one victory while one match ended in no result. Still, Chennai are likely favourites in this match-up given their greater experience on their side.
This match marks MS Dhoni’s return to Chennai following his recall after Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured, hoping that he can help turn around their fortunes which has struggled since the tournament started. He will hope that his presence can inject some much-needed excitement and momentum into this team that has seen its fortunes diminish over time.
On the other side of things, LSG are experiencing an impressive surge in form, winning three consecutive matches to move up four spots on the IPL points table to fourth. They would look to keep this form going against defending champions Hyderabad in their next encounter.
LSG recently defeated Gujarat Titans by an emphatic six wicket margin at home, marking their third successful chase of an IPL 2025 target of 180+ runs – something they will attempt to do against CSK on Monday.
Grok is backing experienced batsman Pooran to dominate Chennai’s bowling on a surface which suits his style of play, having shown tremendous success against slow bowling in previous fixtures. Grok also predicts Noor Ahmad from CSK will claim at least two wickets with his slow-medium bowling style as they look forward to this contest.
CSK’s bowling unit has been inconsistent so far this season and needs to step up their game if they want to compete against the top sides in the league. Noor, Rachin and Ravindra Jadeja will need to step up if they want their campaign back on track; according to Google Match Prediction, CSK should win this match by at least seven wickets or more.
