Aiden Markram to Rachin RavindraOUT! APPEAL FOR LBW AND GIVEN! The move to turn to Aiden Markram has worked like a charm for the Super Giants. Slower through the air a touch fuller in length Rachin goes for the sweep and misses it. The ball hits the back leg. Massive appeal from the bowler and the keeper and the umpire raises his finger. Rachin consults his partner and goes for the review. This looks plumb unless Rachin has got some bat on it. Flat line on UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching in linethe impact is in line and the ball is hitting the off stump. CSK lose the review as well as their second wicket.

Right then, that is it from this thriller where Chennai Super Kings just edged past Lucknow Super Giants. Next up in the IPL 2025 is a big clash between the Punjab Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders on 15th April, Tuesday. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the game. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Who will bowl the last over? It will be Avesh Khan. Can he defend 4 runs here? Also, Lucknow Super Giants have been handed a penalty for a slow over-rate. They can only have four fielders outside the circle.
Avesh Khan is off the field for the moment. He is receiving medical treatment on his left hand on the sidelines.
Halt! Lucknow Super Giants have requested for a change of ball. We saw last night how this affected the game. Will that be the case in this game as well? Let's see.
Strategic Break! Lucknow Super Giants have clawed their way back into this game in the last few overs. Their spinners have been fantastic, and this match now hangs in the balance. LSG knows that a couple of wickets more, and they will be in the driver's seat. Chennai Super Kings only have themselves to blame as their batters have just thrown their wickets away, and now all the pressure is back on them. Also, MS Dhoni walks out to bat now.
Change? No, Aiden Markram will bowl his full quota.
Vijay Shankar is the next man in.
The impact sub for CSK, Shivam Dube comes out to bat. Matheesha Pathirana has been subbed out.
Ravindra Jadeja walks in at number 4.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The Chennai Super Kings will be happy with their start. Powerplay struggles have been a recurring issue for them this season, but tonight, on debut, Shaik Rasheed got the chase going, forming a solid partnership with Rachin Ravindra before he was dismissed. However, as the ball loses its hardness, batting could become trickier, although the dew might help the ball slide onto the bat a bit better. Lucknow Super Giants will look to regain control as the field restrictions ease, aiming to squeeze in a couple of quiet overs that could potentially lead to a wicket. It will be spin from both ends as Ravi Bishnoi comes on to bowl after the break.
Rahul Tripathi walks in at number 3. 100th IPL game for Tripathi tonight.
Who will bowl from the other end? It will be Akash Deep.
