Lucknow Super Giants in Playoffs: Played: 01, Lost: 01
The Lucknow Super Giants are the least experienced of all the four teams in this year’s playoffs. LSG, like the Gujarat Titans, made it to the Playoffs last year but was eliminated by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
LSG has finished third in the points table at the end of the IPL 2023 league stage. Stand-in-skipper Krunal Pandya-led franchise finished with 17 points from 14 matches, winning eight matches and losing four games; the one match against CSK was washed out due to rain.
With the eliminator against the Mumbai Indians in Chennai scheduled for May 24, it will be interesting to see whether LSG will be able to improve their record this time around.

The Mumbai Indians are the most successful team in the history of the IPL, with a record five titles to their name.

Another IPL title will only further strengthen the Mumbai Indians’ record as the best team in IPL history, as they will become the first team to win six IPL crowns.
