LSG Vs CSK: See Best IPL 2026 Photos From Lucknow Super Giants V Chennai Super Kings Match At Ekana Cricket Stadium

At the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow Super Giants’ decision to bowl first paid immediate dividends as Akash Singh tore through the Chennai Super Kings’ top order. The left-arm pacer’s sensational opening spell of 3/26 left the visitors reeling at 52/3, claiming the massive wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson. Akash punctuated his dominance with his viral "Parchi" celebration, signaling he was "on fire" while effectively silencing the CSK faithful early in the powerplay. Despite the early carnage, CSK mounted a resilient recovery led by Kartik Sharma, whose calculated 71 off 42 balls shifted the momentum. Sharma’s aggression allowed late-order hitters like unbeaten Shivam Dube (32) and Dewald Brevis to play freely, propelling the total to a competitive 187/5. What looked like a sub-par total was transformed into a fighting score, setting up a thrilling chase.
