CSK vs LSG tip-off XI: Simarjeet comes in for Deshpande, Stokes to replace Ali at 3, Lucknow unlikely to make any changes

IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are returning to MA Chidambaram Stadium and would be itching to get off the mark with a win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after losing their first match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) opener against Gujarat Titans on Friday. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rahul, who has been under scrutiny in recent times for an extended run of below-par scores will also be looking to shrug of his form and get a decent score in the match.

The city is gearing up to give their favourite off-screen hero a mother of all farewells. MS Dhoni may not have said this season would be his last, but that seems to be the narrative that every fan over here is assuming. Ever since the team landed in the city for the preparations on March...
