April 23 (Punjab Khabarnama) : IPL 2024 match today, CSK vs LSG: After losing to KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants in their away fixture, Chennai Super Kings will hope to exact revenge on the visitors in match No.39 of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Tuesday. A Rahul masterclass sealed Lucknow Super Giants’ impressive win over the defending champions at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium last week. The LSG skipper smashed 82 off 53 balls to help the hosts chase down the 180-run target in 19 overs.
Rahul and Co. are placed fifth on the IPL 2024 points table. Hosts CSK are level points, but their better net run rate keeps them a place above LSG in the IPL 2024 standings. Rahul and Quinton de Kock stitched a record-opening partnership when CSK last played LSG in the IPL. While LSG openers laid the foundation for a convincing win, superstar Rachin Ravindra has extended his low-scoring run in the IPL 2024.
