20:11 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: Late cut, 4!
Beuatiful timing by Rishabh Pant. Picks up his third boundary, this one off Jadeja. Played it so late, but perfectly placed as it runs away for 4 between third man and point. Marsh also hits a boundary. This pair is settling in well.LSG 63/2 (8)
20:06 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: WHAT A HIT!
Rishabh Pant, wow! That is classic Rishabh Pant. Audacious, bold, unorthodox, and clinical. Reverse scoop for six, and that was hit with supreme class. This is the best Pant has looked all season, can today be the day for a big score?LSG 52/2 (6.4)

19:55 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 4, 6 Marsh!
Mitch Marsh is getting into rhythm here. It's as if he did not miss a match at all. First, he pummells a boundary through square-leg, and then sends it over mid-wicket all the way for a maximum. Marsh on song.LSG 34/2 (4.4)
19:53 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: POORAN OUT!
Massive wicket for CSK! Nicholas Pooran is gone! Anshul Kamboj trapped him on the pads, huge appeal but the umpire said no. Kambj convinces Dhoni to go for the DRS review, and guess what? It works! Three reds shows hawkeye, and the dangerous Pooran is gone for just 8.LSG 23/2 (4)

LSG vs CSK LIVE: Vansh Bedi to get a game?
CSK's Achilles' Heel has been to not have many power-hitters in their batting line-up. Except Shivam Dube and at times MS Dhoni, no other CSK batter is of the type to hit sixes from ball 1. Youngster Vansh Bedi built a reputation as a power-hitter in the Delhi Premier League 2024, and has been touted by many to get a game for the men in yellow this season.17:53 (IST)
LSG vs CSK LIVE: 5 losses in a row
