LSG vs CSK LIVE Score: The Toss has been delayed owing to a short drizzle. Injury-plagued Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will aim to bounce back and exact revenge on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they face the four-time champions for the second time in the Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL 2023) on Wednesday. With injuries sustained by pacer Jaydev Unadkat and captain KL Rahul, LSG would be sceptical of CSK’s capacity to recover. In Rahul absence, Krunal Pandya will lead home team. LSG will also be feeling the heat after getting bowled out for just 108 by Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday after failing to chase down a pitiful score of 126 in their own backyard.
Rahul suffered a right thigh injury when playing here against RCB on Monday, and Unadkat took a horrific tumble while bowling at the nets on Sunday. Rahul entered the game at No. 11 in the LSG run chase and faced three balls.
This season, LSG’s performance has fluctuated dramatically. On the one hand, they have delivered dominant performances that have made rival sides envious, but they also possess a self-destruction button that automatically activates.
LSG may be in third position in the points table with 10 point, but CSK, who also have 10 points but is in fourth due to a worse net run rate, might take advantage of the crushing blow to their psyche following the 18-run loss to RCB.

Although CSK have suffered back-to-back defeats to Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, their capacity to recover should never be underrated. Since most of their victories this season have been a result of Dhoni’s tactical brilliance, the former India captain may take advantage of the circumstance, particularly if Rahul is unable to play on Wednesday.
Devon Conway, the CSK opener, will be highly relied upon once more. Conway has been in excellent form, hitting 414 runs from nine matches at an average of 59.14 and a strike rate of 144.25. Despite Conway smashing an unbeaten 92 to lead his team to 200 for four, it was unfortunate that CSK lost to Punjab as the total was surpassed off the final ball.
