IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's LSG vs CSK match 

A confident Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face a struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match number 30 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, April 14. LSG have won four of their six matches. On the other hand, CSK are last in the points table, with only one win from six games.

LSG have won their last three matches in IPL 2025 and will be keen to extend their winning streak. Nicholas Pooran has been in exceptional form for them, having clobbered 349 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 215.43. Mitchell Marsh, who missed Lucknow's last match, has 265 runs at a strike rate of 180.27, while Aiden Markram is also in good form. In the bowling, Shardul Thakur has done a good job.

CSK's woes seem to be going from bad to worse. After losing captain Ruturaj Gaikwad due to injury, they were held to an embarrassing 103-9 in their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chepauk. The whole batting line-up seems to lack confidence. They have a decent bowling attack, but the move to back veteran off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hasn't paid off.

Lucknow have a 3-1 lead over Chennai in the head-to-head battle in the IPL and would go into the latest clash as favorites. A number of milestones could be achieved in the LSG vs CSK IPL 2025 match in Lucknow on Monday. Take a look.
