The Chennai Super Kings–Lucknow Super Giants IPL record is closer than the last scoreline suggests. Lucknow chased down Chennai’s 187/5 on 15 May 2026 with 20 balls left, winning by seven wickets. That result gave LSG a four-to-three lead in victories across eight meetings; the other fixture ended without a result.
This is a short rivalry, beginning only when Lucknow joined the IPL in 2022, but it has already produced a 217/7 Chennai total, a 124-not-out chase by Marcus Stoinis and two matches decided within five days in 2026. The record below ends on 15 May 2026. It does not include an unannounced IPL 2027 fixture.
Chennai Super Kings
Lucknow Super GiantsCSK vs LSG IPL head-to-head record
Lucknow won the first meeting at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium on 31 March 2022. Chennai made 210/7, but LSG replied with 211/4 to win by six wickets. Chennai levelled the series in April 2023, making 217/7 and holding Lucknow to 205/7 for a 12-run victory. Their second 2023 game did not produce a winner: rain stopped play at Lucknow with LSG on 125/7 after 19.2 overs, before CSK could begin a chase.
Both 2024 fixtures went to Lucknow, including Stoinis’s unbeaten 124 in a six-wicket chase of Chennai’s 210/4. Chennai then won the only 2025 meeting and the first of two 2026 games. Lucknow’s return win in May 2026 broke that sequence. Count the rain-hit 2023 match as one of the eight fixtures, not as a win for either team; its LSG batting innings still counts in opponent-run totals.

Most runs in CSK vs LSG IPL matches
Ruturaj Gaikwad leads this specific fixture with 238 runs, just three ahead of Shivam Dube‘s 235. Both totals changed in the final match: Gaikwad scored 13 and Dube 32, adding to their respective pre-match figures of 225 and 203. These are runs scored in CSK–LSG fixtures, not either player’s overall IPL runs.
Opponent-specific men’s IPL runs through 15 May 2026, including Lucknow’s batting innings in the abandoned 2023 match. Team labels identify the club represented in this series, not a confirmed 2027 roster.
Marcus Stoinis is third with 159, powered by his unbeaten 124 at Chennai in April 2024. KL Rahul follows on 158. Nicholas Pooran is fifth with 150, after an unbeaten 32 in LSG’s latest chase. Pooran’s total includes 20 scored in the 2023 fixture that rain left unfinished; excluding those runs while counting the other innings would give a misleading player ranking. The dated pre-match top-five table had Ayush Badoni at 123, but Pooran passed that mark on the final-match cutoff.
Last five CSK vs LSG IPL matches

Four days earlier, KL Rahul made 82 and Quinton de Kock 54 as LSG replied to Chennai’s 176/6 with 180/2. The rain-hit 2023 game remains part of the overall record but is omitted from this list of the five latest completed games. Scores in the last column consistently display Chennai first and Lucknow second, regardless of batting order.
