Chennai. Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in the 53rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Sunday. Here today, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said that the pitch has been under cover for a long time and there has been light rain so we will bowl first.
In the previous day’s match we had seen that the pitch was behaving quite differently. In the beginning we will watch a few overs to see what the ball is doing and then try to restrict them to minimum score. There has been no change in the team.
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant said that we also wanted to bowl first. We want to play good cricket with consistency. We had chances this season but we couldn’t capitalize on them. As I said in Mumbai also, we will give our 200 percent and we will try for the same. There have been two changes in the team. English is back and Avesh has replaced Mayank. Both the teams are as follows:-
Chennai Super Kings (XI): Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Urvil Patel, Karthik Sharma, Dewald Brewis, Shivam Dubey, Jamie Overton, Akil Hussain, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmed and Mukesh Chaudhary.
Lucknow Super Giants (XI): Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, Akshat Raghuvanshi, Himmat Singh, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav and Digvesh Rathi.
