With regards to their top pacer Deepak Chahar’s injury, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has given a noteworthy update, indicating that it is a “minor” niggle and he should be back in action soon. On Friday, April 19, CSK, under the direction of Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will play in the 34th game of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Fleming stated that Chahar is presently receiving rehabilitation and is progressing rather well. In order to ensure Chahar’s full recuperation, the club has opted to sideline the pacer in the upcoming game against the Mumbai Indians, citing Shardul Thakur’s excellent performance in his place during CSK’s previous match against them. On Sunday, April 14, Thakur, who came in for Chahar, was particularly noteworthy as he did not take any wickets but instead controlled the scoring rate, conceding only 35 runs in his whole quota and making two big catches.

“Chahar is recovering nicely from his rehab. There was nothing to worry about; it was only a small injury. At the pre-match press conference, Fleming stated, “We decided to give Chahar more time to recover because Shardul Thakur bowled brilliantly in the last match against Mumbai.
In the 34th IPL 2024 game, CSK will play LSG.
Following a decisive 20-run victory over the Mumbai Indians, the Chennai Super Kings are currently leading their opponents. Despite former MI captain Rohit Sharma’s outstanding century, CSK managed to contain Mumbai to 186/6 by amassing a formidable total of 206/4 in their allocated 20 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai team is currently in third place in the IPL 2024 point standings with eight points from four victories in six games.
In contrast, the Lucknow Super Giants’ IPL 2024 campaign has thus far been a rollercoaster. After losing their first game, they turned things around and won three straight. Nevertheless, they have struggled in their previous two games and are eager to defeat the five-time champs.
