Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a match at the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium tonight in IPL 2024. LSG’s confidence levels would be low heading into this game because Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders defeated them in a convincing manner in their previous two outings.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings have a ton of momentum by their side, having defeated the Mumbai Indians in their previous IPL 2024 game. CSK have never played a complete T20 game in Lucknow. The conditions might be slightly new for most of the Chennai players.
Ahead of the battle between CSK and LSG, here’s a look at the T20 records of the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium.
