Wednesday, May 03, will see four-time champions and one of the most successful sides in the history of the competition, the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings square off against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Both sides have already faced off once in IPL 2023. In that game, the Super Kings came out trumps in a high-scoring thriller.
