LSG did not have the best of starts as they conceded a disappointing five-wicket loss at the hands of newbies Gujarat Titans on Monday. The KL Rahul-led team will be aiming to turn around their fortunes when they face the defending champions CSK in their second match on Thursday.
Meanwhile, CSK’s title defense started off with a comprehensive six-wicket defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the season opener at the Wankhede Stadium last Saturday. They too will look to win this fixture and get on track for a record-equaling fifth IPL title.
