After registering a hat-trick of wins, we will be aiming to extend our winning streak when we host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in our upcoming IPL 2025 clash at our fortress, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, on Monday.

The much-awaited IPL 2025 fixture will start at 7:30 PM IST.

Led by our talismanic captain Rishabh Pant, our boys will head into the game after we celebrated our 50th IPL match with a commanding six-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at home on Saturday.

After we opted to bowl first, our bowlers produced an impressive fightback to restrict the Titans to 180/6 in their 20 overs.

Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi were our standout bowlers with two wickets each. Apart from Shardul and Bishnoi, Digvesh Rathi and Avesh Khan also contributed with one scalp each to stage a remarkable comeback from 120/0 at the start of the 13th over.

Later, twin fifties from Nicholas Pooran (61) and Aiden Markram (58), along with Ayush Badoni’s crucial cameo of unbeaten 28 guided us to our third consecutive win, our fourth overall in IPL 2025.

With four wins and two losses, we have now accumulated eight points from six matches in the ongoing tournament.

Meanwhile, our Caribbean superstar Pooran has continued his magnificent form in IPL 2025. Our flamboyant southpaw is the current Orange Cap holder with 349 runs in six matches at a staggering strike rate of 215.43, while also maintaining an average of 69.80.

Mitchell Marsh (265 runs) and Markram (202 runs) have also made significant contributions with the bat for us in IPL 2025.

On the other hand, Shardul has been our leading wicket-taker in the competition with 11 wickets in six games at an average of 19.81.

Our spin sensation Digvesh has bagged eight scalps, while spin wizard Bishnoi has claimed six wickets so far.
