LSG vs CSK: Watch - Ambati Rayudu Grabs A Well-Judged Catch To Dismiss KL Rahul

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was desperately in search of wickets during Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) run-chase and Ambati Rayudu provided the breakthrough by taking a well-judged catch to dismiss LSG captain, KL Rahul.

Chasing the target of 211, LSG was off to the perfect start. The first wicket partnership between Rahul and Quinton de Kock put on 99 on the board in the first ten overs.

The required rate was climbing at all times and there was no respite for the LSG openers. They had to keep scoring and Rahul perished in the process. He was undone by a slower delivery from Dwaine Pretorius.

Landing outside off stump, the ball turned sharply and Rahul was too early into the shot. He managed a top-edge that flew behind the man at short fine leg. Rayudu, stationed there, managed to run back, all the while keeping his eyes on the ball, before grabbing it safely.

Earlier, Robin Uthappa led the way for CSK with a fifty while there were useful contributions from Shivam Dube (49) and Moeen Ali (35). MS Dhoni provided a good finish at the end as well which helped push the total to 210/7.

For LSG, Ravi Bishnoi was the pick of the bowlers. He ended with figures of 2/24 on a track where the batters were scoring boundaries at will. Avesh Khan and Andrew Tye also chipped in with two wickets apiece.
