Shivam Dube will look to quickly forget the solitary over he bowled against Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday. Chennai Super Kings were firmly in control of the match with IPL newbies LSG requiring 34 runs off two overs to emerge victorious. Dube, who hadn't bowled a single ball during the game, was given the responsibility to bowl the 19th over by CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja. It was a massive blunder. Dube's military medium-pace proved easy fodder for the two batters at the crease - Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableFirst, Badoni swept Dube's first ball for a six over square leg. Under pressure, Dube bowled a couple of wides. Lewis (55 not out off 23b; 6x4, 3x6) then smacked two boundaries and a six off the last three balls as LSG got 25 runs in the over and the tables were completely turned. The final rites were done by Badoni in the 20th over with a swivel pull for another six off left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary's bowling. Initially, the chase was propped up by the LSG openers, Quinton de Kock and captain KL Rahul. The pair added 99 runs in 10.1 overs before Rahul (40 off 26b; 2x4, 3x6) was dismissed by Dwaine Pretorius. De Kock (61 off 45b; 9x4) carried on for a while before Pretorius scalped his wicket too. When De Kock got out, a win for LSG seemed improbable but Lewis and Badoni had other ideas.
