Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul was all praise for Marcus Stoinis' match-winning 63-ball-124 not out against Chennai Super Kings as he felt that the home team's score of 210 for 4 was at least 30 runs above-par on that particular Chepauk track. Stoinis' special effort overshadowed a classy century by CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad in their IPL match on Tuesday as LSG won by six wickets. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Marcus Stoinis revealed that he was aware of not getting Cricket Australia's central contract for the 2024-25 season but he is keen to feature and contribute for the Baggy Greens in the T20 World Cup 2024. Last month, Stoinis was one of the biggest names who was snubbed from CA's contract list of 23 players. One month later, Stoinis broke records at Chepauk against the Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
It was the Marcus Stoinis show in Chepauk on Tuesday as the Lucknow Super Giants secured a thrilling 6-wicket victory against Chennai Super Kings, handing Ruturaj Gaikwad's team its first home defeat of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. Stoinis scored his maiden IPL century, cancelling Ruturaj's hundred to take his team to the 4th spot in the points table. Usually, whenever finishes in Chepauk are talked about, it's MS Dhoni whose name is spotted in the headlines, but this time, it was a different MS (Marcus Stoinis) who stole the limelight.
Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Irfan Pathan picked Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli at the Top 3 for the national side in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. There has been a lot of speculation over the opening partnership in the competition but Pathan believes that skipper Rohit should open with Jaiswal who scored a brilliant century for Rajasthan Royals in their win over Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024 match on Monday. Pathan picked Kohli at the No. 3 and added that his strike rate in T20Is is better than former West Indies batter Chris Gayle and there can be no questions over his prowess.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul is having a decent campaign at the ongoing IPL. In 8 matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has scored 302 at a strike rate of 141.12. His tally also includes two half-centuries and in the upcoming clash against Chennai Super Kings, he will be eager to deliver another big knock. Apart from IPL, Rahul is fighting for the wicketkeeper's spot in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States and West Indies.
MS Dhoni and Chennai is a love story that never gets boring. Whenever MS Dhoni appears at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for Chennai Super Kings, the city erupts. The same was the case on Tuesday during the CSK's match against Lucknow Super Giants. Dhoni came to bat in the last over and the stadium erupted. he even hit a boundary. But the viral moment happened when CSK were bowling. On the last ball of the 13th over by Tushar Deshpande, the umpire signalled a wide on a delivery to Marcus Stoinis.
There has been a lot of speculation over the team dynamics in the Mumbai Indians camp following a disappointing start to the IPL 2024 campaign. MI lost their first three matches in the competition and although they did stage a mini-comeback, they are currently seventh with just six points after the recent loss against Rajasthan Royals. The main topic of discussion has been the equation between Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma following a change is captaincy that was not accepted well by a section of the fanbase.

Meanwhile, CSK skipper Gaikwad, whose century went in vain felt that dew played a big role towards the latter half of the match. “Tough pill to swallow but LSG played a good game at the end. We had the game in hand around the 13th over, but hats off to Stoinis.
