**Lucknow, India** – The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are facing a tough chase after a strong start in their IPL 2025 match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG, batting first after CSK captain MS Dhoni won the toss, posted a challenging 166/7 thanks to Rishabh Pant’s first half-century of the season (63 runs). Pant anchored the innings after a shaky start for LSG, with Nicholas Pooran failing to contribute significantly. Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmad were the pick of the CSK bowlers, while Dhoni impressed behind the stumps.
In response, CSK got off to a good start but lost wickets in the middle overs, leaving them at 109/4 after 14 overs. Shivam Dube and Vijay Shankar are currently at the crease, needing 58 runs from 36 balls to secure victory. The match remains closely contested.
