Chennai Super Kings are up against Lucknow Super Giants in an important IPL 2024 clash on Tuesday (April 23) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
CSK suffered a defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants in the last match as LSG secured a comfortable victory by 8 wickets in Lucknow.

MS Dhoni is expected to be the key factor again in this match as the CSK legend always is. Dhoni has shown his immense batting prowess with some amazing shot-making this season. He showcased the same in the last match against Lucknow.
The veteran batter has scored 87 runs this season and that is with a strike rate of 256. He has dazzled in the latter overs of the matches and has hit boundaries galore, 7 fours and 8 sixes so far this season. If an opportunity to bat comes against LSG, Dhoni would be hoping to continue his fantastic scoring rate.
And if we take a look properly, MS Dhoni has an excellent record against LSG. In three innings, he has dealt mostly with boundaries and has never been dismissed by the LSG bowlers.
Dhoni has a career strike rate of more than 300 against Lucknow Super Giants. The CSK legend has played only 3 matches against LSG in IPL and has scored 28 runs so far. Also, Dhoni is invincible against Lucknow as the Super Giants have never dismissed the Super Kings stalwart.
Dhoni, in the last IPL 2024 match against LSG, scored 28 runs off just 9 balls. He came late into the crease and stormed his way through to 28 runs, comprised of 3 fours and 2 sixes.
In IPL 2023, Dhoni scored another unbeaten 12 off just 3 balls, hitting 2 sixes in the innings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. In the reverse fixture last year, the match at Lucknow ended in No Result due to rain infringement.
