Krunal Pandya and Marcus Stoinis were the bowling stars for LSG, who kept the CSK batsmen in check. In reply, openers KL Rahul (82 off 53) and Quinton de Kock (54 off 43) laid the foundation of victory by making a brilliant partnership of 134 runs.

Even after De Kock’s dismissal, Rahul continued his aggressive innings, but Jadeja’s sensational catch with one hand ended his innings. Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis ensured a comfortable finish as LSG won with 1 over to spare.

IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants Captain and Player of the Match, KL Rahul:

He said: “It feels good at the end of the day. When you win, most of the decisions feel right. We were committed to our plans, and I’m really happy with it. I deployed my bowlers depending on the wicket, and we tried to mix it up.

The bowlers performed really well, and the team would have been happy to score 160 at the half given the slow wicket and the catch. But put pressure on, because he has the quality to scare the opposition bowlers. Our young bowlers were also under pressure, which gave the opposition 15-20 extra runs, I am trying to assess the situation.

And that’s what happened today. I knew that CSK’s spinners would put pressure on me, so I chose my bowlers accordingly, playing in Chennai is a different kind of crowd. We’re happy to play in front of such a crowd.”

Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad: “We did well with the bat considering the situation we were in. However, after the powerplay, we could not take advantage of the start and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

I believe we were ahead by 10-15 runs, less than what we could have achieved. With the impact bye rule, you need extra runs. Such pitches start slowly but with dew. A score of 190 would have been good. We need to improve in one area and put pressure on the opposition. It is good to play them again in the next three home matches.”
