They first met in 2022

MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings will take on Lucknow Super Giants at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow for IPL 2025’s fourth matchup, each team coming off back-to-back victories and seeking to sustain that momentum.

LSG posted 166/7 in their innings, led by Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 11-ball 26. However, Moeen Ali and Anshul Kamboj struck early blows to knock them back, dismissing Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram quickly before Rahul Tripathi caught one running from cover by Moeen.

LSG then managed to chase down their total with relative ease, with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dubey both contributing greatly.

But Marcus Stoinis was truly outstanding as he scored an astonishing 124 off 63 balls for LSG to secure an easy six wicket win.

Chennai Super Kings have only managed one win from their last five matches, leaving them struggling to find form.

Chennai are still searching for their first win of the season after falling to Gujarat Titans by five wickets in their tournament opener.

Although Ruturaj Gaikwad scored an impressive 92 at the top of their order, other members of their batting lineup struggled and CSK were left struggling to defend 178 against LSG’s aggressive chase.
