LSG vs CSK, IPL 2026: At the start of the match, CSK needed another win to maybe displace PBKS from the fourth position, and start their journey in the playoffs, but a 7-wicket humiliation by LSG in Lucknow meant, they dropped to 6 in the table. After scoring 187, their bowlers ensured LSG made it to the finish line in only 16.4 overs. Having said that, Chennai is still not out of the race of playoffs, and can still finish on 16 points.
Akash Singh impresses with 3/26
When all the other bowlers in the side were being hit for a few runs, it was youngster Akash, who came up with an economical performance of 3/26. He got rid of the top 3, essentially, breaking the back of Chennai batting — Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Urvil Patel. He was ably supported by Mayank Yadav, who bowled with a lot of pace and control, but couldn’t get a wicket.
Mitchell Marsh, Pooran end proceedings in a jiffy
LSG, who are already out of the tournament, looked like they didn’t play under any sort of pressure. It was only in the powerplay, that they reached 86/0. Mitchell Marsh was the aggressor-in-chief, who went on to score 90 from only 38. Nicholas Pooran ended the proceedings with 4 consecutive sixes off Anshul Kamboj, who ended with figures of 0/63 in only 2.4 overs.

We are a team that runs on trust, we are trying few things for the next season, and give our 200%. There is no running away from the way we have played this season, but there are lot of positives. We know we have it as a team, but it hasn't worked, we have to improve each and every day. We have two more changes."

15/05/2026 17:49
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men are peaking at the right time. Currently sitting 5th with 12 points, they have won four of their last five matches. The inclusion of Sanju Samson (424 runs this season) has revitalized their batting order, though they face a setback with Jamie Overton being ruled out due to injury. Meanwhile, it has been a season to forget for the Rishabh Pant-led side, who languish at the bottom of the table. Despite stellar individual performances from Mitchell Marsh (recently scored a century) and Josh Inglis, the team has struggled to close out games.
