Lucknow Super Giants square off against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday, April 14. On paper, both these teams are almost equally power-packed with superstars but form-wise, things have been pretty contrasting. Chennai Super Kings, after winning their first match against Mumbai Indians on March 23, have suffered five back-to-back defeats, the first time it has happened in the history of the tournament. The five-time champions just have not been able to find their groove and get going as they have been totally outplayed by their opponents and are in desperate need of a reversal of fortunes to stay alive in IPL 2025. MS Dhoni did take up captaincy of Chennai Super Kings after an elbow injury forced Ruturaj Gaikwad to be sidelined for the season but that hardly had an impact with the five-time champions slumping to a heavy defeat against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match.
