LSG Innings: Josh Inglis’ 360° Masterclass Set the Stage
Lucknow Super Giants came out with aggressive intent, spearheaded by Josh Inglis. The Australian wicketkeeper-batter played a breathtaking knock of 85 off just 33 balls, featuring 10 boundaries and 6 massive sixes. Alongside Mitchell Marsh (10), Inglis powered LSG to a staggering 89/1 in the Powerplay.
However, the momentum shifted when Jamie Overton (3/36) triggered a middle-order collapse. Overton dismissed both Inglis and skipper Rishabh Pant (15) in quick succession, causing LSG to slip from 112/2 to 147/6. A late surge by Shahbaz Ahmed, who remained unbeaten on 43 off 25 balls, ensured LSG crossed the 200-run mark, finishing at 203/8.
CSK Chase: The Urvil Patel Storm
Chennai’s response was nothing short of legendary. Urvil Patel completely dismantled the LSG bowling attack from the first ball. He reached his fifty in just 13 balls—the joint-fastest in IPL history by an Indian (equalling Yashasvi Jaiswal’s record). Patel eventually departed for a blistering 65 off 23 balls, a knock that included 8 sixes.
Patel’s aggression meant CSK were cruising at 97/1 after 6 overs. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad played a steady supporting role with 42 off 28 balls, while Sanju Samson contributed a quick 28 off 14.
The Final Flourish
Despite a brief scare where LSG’s spinners Digvesh Rathi (2/45) and Shahbaz Ahmed (2/30) picked up quick wickets to stall the scoring, Shivam Dube (15* off 7) and Impact Player Prashant Veer (17* off 12) held their nerve. Dube finished the game in style, smashing Aiden Markram for two sixes in the final over to secure the 2 points for the home side.
