Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings were involved in a thrilling match in IPL 2022 on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium and the game saw KL Rahul's side defeating the defending champions by six wickets as they chased down 211 with three balls to spare. Fans were treated to a high-scoring classic thanks to a boundary-hitting fest in Mumbai with both teams sending the ball over the ropes on numerous occasions. Lucknow got over the finishing line in the final over of the innings and after the match, Lucknow Super Giants' mentor Gautam Gambhir and CSK wicketkeeper MS Dhoni were seen having a chat.
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) squad produced an inspirational locker room rendition of the famous song 'Sweet Caroline' after they registered their first-ever win in their IPL journey on Thursday. LSG, led by captain KL Rahul, defeated defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets in a high-scoring thriller at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. After the win, the entire LSG squad, including the likes of captain KL Rahul and Gautam Gambhir, were seen belting out a song and celebrating the win in fine style.
After taking the Indian Premier League (IPL) by storm last season with the bat as well as with the ball in hand, Venkatesh Iyer is yet to announce himself in IPL 2022. According to former India cricketer Aakash Chopra, Iyer "has not looked the same player". In the tournament opener against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 26, Iyer didn't get an opportunity to bowl, while on the other hand, he opened with Ajinkya Rahane and scored 16 runs off 16 balls before getting out to Dwayne Bravo. In KKR's second game vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Iyer failed with the bat again and was dismissed for 10 runs off 14 deliveries. He returned with the ball in hand in the 19th over where he conceded 10 runs.
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has compared the dew during his team's IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants to the Niagara Falls, justifying their move to make Shivam Dube bowl the match-turning 19th over at the expense of spinners. With LSG needing 34 from 12 balls, the duo of Man-of-the-Match Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni smashed Dube for 25 runs, to bring the equation down to nine from the last over at the Brabourne Stadium.
After beginning their IPL 2021 campaign with a victory in the season opener, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) suffered a narrow defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 6 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. Losing by three wickets and four balls to spare, RCB had to rely on some calm batting by Dinesh Karthuk and Harshal Patel to seal a win. Chasing a target of 129 runs, RCB reached 132 for seven in 19.2 overs. During the second innings, fans and experts spotted KKR captain Shreyas Iyer's dilemma in finding a fifth bowler. All-rounder Andre Russell, who is battling fitness issues, completed only 2.2 overs and Venkatesh Iyer bowled a solitary over. Speaking on Cricbuzz, former cricketer and commentator Simon Doull analysed the issue and also shared a solution for Iyer.
MS Dhoni has started well with the bat for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The wicketkeeper-batter stepped down from CSK's captaincy ahead of the IPL 2022 season opener and handed over the role to Ravindra Jadeja. IPL 2022 began on March 26 and Dhoni registered an unbeaten half-century at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Despite his unbeaten knock of 50 runs off 38 balls, the veteran couldn't prevent a defeat for CSK with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) winning by six wickets. Once again, the 40-year-old showcased his batting form in Match 7 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Coming in to bat in the 19th over, the 2011 ODI World Cup smashed the first delivery for a monstrous six.
Quinton de Kock applauded an "unbelievable" performance from the Lucknow Super Giants after they defeated the Chennai Super Kings by six wickets to seal their first win in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Super Giants are one of two new franchises in the 10-team IPL Twenty20 competition this season.
