CSK 121/5 (16.3)

Live Score: Why has Dhoni not come out to bat yet?

MS Dhoni did not come out to bat despite Chennai Super Kings losing their fifth wicket. This is because the former CSK skipper is currently struggling with a knee injury and batting for long could be an issue for him. CSK batting coach Mike Hussey had earlier informed that Dhoni is not in a position to play a long innings.

IPL 2024 Live Score: Two changes for CSK

“We would have bowled first. We batted first in the last game and batted well. (Win against MI) A good confidence-booster. Going there and defending is a big boost for us. We don’t want to get complacent. We are trying to be as consistent as possible. Just a bit lucky (on his batting), unlucky dismissal in the first two matches. Good to be back, good to be going. Everyone is confident. Two changes. Mo (Moeen Ali) comes in for Mitchell, Deepak comes in for Shardul,” said CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

IPL 2024 Live: One change for LSG

“We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, dew hasn;t been a big factor. Hopefully it stays good for 40 overs. We would like to know what we are chasing. There weren’t any blunders we made. Last game against KKR was a big defeat. Still pretty relaxed. I know it’s halfway mark. As a leadership group, if we panic it spreads. That’s not what I like to be. Great support staff. We are trying to keep as relaxed as possible. The pitches have been relaid here. Each time you play, it can be different. Just one change. Joseph is out, Matt Henry comes in,” said LSG captain KL Rahul after the toss.

LSG vs CSK Live: Battle to watch out for –

In the spin department, Ravi Bishnoi has been bowling tight spells, but his one dimensional skill of bowling one googly after another has been found out as he got only four wickets in the six game so far. Bishnoi vs a rampaging Shivam Dube will be a mouth-watering contest and will add a spicy sub-plot to the main battle.

LSG vs CSK Live: Info about pitch

The average first innings score in Lucknow this season has been 175, which is at least 15 sub-par compared to some of the other grounds, and this is exactly the kind of total where Dhoni, like the seasoned ‘Concert Master’ of an orchestra team, controls the ‘pitch and tune’.
