Chennai Super Kings (CSK) replaced injured English all-rounder Jamie Overton with Australian pacer Spencer Johnson for their IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Stadium. Johnson, returning after a back injury, made his debut alongside domestic pacer Gurjanpreet Singh, who replaced Akeal Hosein. LSG, already out of playoff contention, made several changes and won the toss, opting to field first on a tacky pitch. CSK aimed to secure a top-four finish with a win.
