Fans on Twitter reacted after Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 39th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. They thumped the opposition by six wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday (23rd April). 

Asked to bat, Chennai Super Kings couldn’t get off to a great start with the bat at their home ground.  Ajinkya Rahane (1), Daryl Mitchell (11), and Ravindra Jadeja (16) fell early and they were left tottering at 101 for three and were under immense pressure. 

However, after that skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (108*) and Shivam Dube (66*) titled the game in their team’s favour. The Gaikwad-Dube duo took the attack to the Lucknow Super Giants bowlers and displayed a brutal display of batting, adding 104 runs for the fourth wicket. 

Their blistering effort with the bat saw Chennai Super Kings posting a big total of 210 runs on board at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai. For Lucknow Super Giants, Matt Henry was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of one for 28. 

In the chase, Lucknow Super Giants had a similar start to Chennai Super Kings in their innings as they lost wickets upfront. Quinton de Kock fell for a duck before KL Rahul (16) and Devdutt Padikkal (13) perished. With the team tumbling at 88/3, Marcus Stoinis stood tall for his team and played a blinder. 

Nicholas Pooran (34) supported him well as the duo added 70 runs for the fourth wicket and took the team close to target. After Pooran got out, Stoinis slammed a brutal century and made sure that he kept his team in the hunt at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

With 17 runs needed off the last over, Stoinis did the job in just three balls. He ended with an unbeaten innings of 124 runs and took his team to the 5th win in the tournament.
