KL Rahul has won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Aiming to get back to winning ways, Chennai Super Kings face Lucknow Super Giants in Match 6 of IPL 2023, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. MS Dhoni-led CSK faced Gujarat Titans in the season opener in Ahmedabad, losing by five wickets in a narrow defeat.
In their last battle, despite a superb knock from the classy Ruturaj Gaikwad, the rest of the batters could not capitalise and help CSK post a big total. The team’s fans will be hoping that the strong batting line-up rises to the occasion. Gaikwad toyed with the Gujarat Titans bowlers and made batting look easy. His exit slowed things down and CSK could only make a modest score, which was chased down by the defending champions.
