Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 39 of the IPL 2024 season at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 23. In the IPL 2024 season, the Super Kings have won four and lost three matches so far. CSK are currently in the fourth position in the points table and would like to come back to their winning momentum. After being led by MS Dhoni since the start of the Indian Premier League, the team is now in a transition phase under the leadership of young Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad. The 27-year-old who led India to the Asian Games title has done a commendable job so far. However, the skipper has not really performed that well with the bat. In a recent interview with the official broadcaster, Ruturaj talked about the importance of family and how lucky he is to have all the support in the world. The CSK captain also stressed upon the importance of getting support from his family when he fails to perform.

Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants are all set to face off for the second time in IPL 2024, with the KL Rahul-led Super Giants having the bragging rights in the recent encounter after a dominating 8-wicket win in Lucknow. Both CSK and LSG have won four out of seven matches so far and are fourth (CSK) and fifth (LSG) in the points table, respectively, with net run rate separating them.

The iconic Chepauk stadium is all set to host its fourth match of the IPL 2024 season. However, Chennai Super Kings would hope for their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the responsibility of giving a solid start at the top. Gaikwad has not really performed that well with the bat (241 runs at a strike rate of 130.27 and an average of 40.17). In a recent interview with the official broadcaster, Ruturaj talked about the importance of family and how lucky he is to have all the support in the world when he fails to perform.

"You need support from your family when you play in your city. Sometimes you don't score, don't perform, and you don't want them to overburden you, talk to you about things like 'why couldn't you perform today?' and I think that never happened from their side that they ever doubted my ability or they ever doubted my effort. So, I think in that sense I am really grateful that they have been supporting me right from the start," Ruturaj Gaikwad said in a recent interview.

In the IPL 2024 season, the Chennai Super Kings have won four and lost three matches so far. CSK are currently in the fourth position in the points table and would like to come back to their winning momentum. On the other hand, KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants are coming on the back of a massive victory against Chennai Super Kings in Lucknow. LSG have won four and lost three matches and are currently in the fifth position in the points table, just behind CSK due to net run rate. Coming back to their fortress, Chepauk, the Chennai Super Kings would be looking to take revenge and grab the all-important 2 points on offer.
