It is a Super Sunday and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are taking on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 54th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK have built momentum after a poor start to the campaign, while LSG arrive after pulling off a statement win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Who won the toss in CSK vs LSG?
Toss result: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and opted to bowl first. Gaikwad asked Pant’s team to bat, with a hope to restrict LSG as quickly as possible.
What did the captains say?
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Chennai Super Kings) captain:“We decided to bowl first mainly because the pitch was under covers for a while and there had been some rain around. There wasn’t anything unusual beyond that. Day games here can play a little differently, and in the previous afternoon match, the surface behaved differently from what we expected. The key for us will be to adapt quickly, assess conditions in the first couple of overs, and then look to restrict them as much as possible.”
“The mood in the dressing room is very positive. After losing the first three games, the way the team has turned things around over the last seven matches has been commendable. Everyone is motivated, eager to keep improving, and focused on keeping things simple.” [On team combination] “We’re going in with the same playing XI.”
Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants captain):“We would have bowled first as well. We’re looking at every game as important from here on, but at the same time, the focus is on playing consistently good cricket. There have been moments this season where we’ve played really well, but we haven’t been able to finish games strongly enough. That’s been a learning for us as we move forward in the tournament.”
“As I said earlier in the season, we’re going to give our 200 percent in every game, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do.” [On changes to the playing XI] “We’ve made two changes. English comes back into the side after missing the last game through injury, and Avesh comes in for Mayank.”

CSK vs LSG: Who has the advantage?
CSK might start slight favourites at home given their recent form and settled bowling attack. Sanju Samson has been outstanding this season, while Noor Ahmad remains a major threat (20 wickets at 17.9 av) in Chennai conditions.
However, LSG suddenly look dangerous again after their thrilling win over RCB. Mitchell Marsh is coming off a sensational century, Nicholas Pooran has rediscovered his touch, and their pace attack could enjoy bowling on this fresh Chepauk surface. Expect a close contest.
