Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will return to their home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium for the first time since 2019. They will host Lucknow Super Giants in their second game of IPL 2023 and will be looking to get off the mark with a win. The MS Dhoni-led side went down to defending champions Gujarat Titans in season opener that was played in Ahmedabad. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants emerged victorious against Delhi Capitals in their first game. However, this is an away encounter for them and will have to put their best foot forward to go past the Men in Yellow.
Meanwhile, they will be bolstered with Quinton de Kock’s availability as well for the game. With South Africa’s ODI series against the Netherlands concluding on Sunday, all the Proteas players are now available for their respective sides.
