Indian Premier League 2023 Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants preview in chennai on April 3, 2023
After losing their opening match, Chennai Super Kings will return to their den — the MA Chidambaram stadium — for the first home match of the season against Lucknow Super Giants in Chennai on April 3, 2023 and aim to pick up a win.
When Mahendra Singh Dhoni leads his team in Chennai, the four-time champion will, without a doubt, receive a rapturous welcome as CSK return to the Chepauk after nearly four years.
Despite a superb knock from the classy Ruturaj Gaikwad, the rest of the batters could not capitalise and help CSK post a big total. The team's fans will be hoping that the strong batting line-up rises to the occasion.
Gaikwad toyed with the Gujarat Titans bowlers and made batting look easy. His exit slowed things down and CSK could only make a modest score, which was chased down by the defending champions.
England superstar Ben Stokes, bought for ₹16.25 crore, would be eager to show his worth in the team's opening home game and set the pace for the long season ahead.
If the batters' inability to force the pace in the middle overs is a cause for concern, the bowling could be a bigger problem.
The Titans batting line-up could not be restricted and skipper Dhoni would be expecting an improved show from the bowlers.

The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
