Openers KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, who made classy fifties on a slow pitch, produced a chasing masterclass to power Lucknow Super Giants to a comfortable eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2024 match at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. Asked to bat first, Ravindra Jadeja came up with a solid unbeaten 57 before Mooen Ali (30 off 20) and MS Dhoni (28 off 9) went on a six-hitting spree to take CSK to a fighting 176 for six. In reply, Rahul (82) and De Kock (54) batted with authority during their match-winning alliance of 134, the highest partnership for any wicket at the Ekana Stadium, as LSG scored 180 for 2 in 19 overs to recover from back-to-back loss and consolidate their position in the table.
MS Dhoni fans on Friday got treated with a vintage innings from the Chennai Super Kings former captain. Facing Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow and with his team down by six wickets, MS Dhoni came at the crease late and made an instant impact. The World Cup-winning captain hit two sixes and three fours to score a nine-ball 28*. The late cameo was crucial in CSK scoring 176/6 in 20 overs. The short but entertaining knock had the Lucknow crowd on its feet.
Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra was not pleased with how Punjab Kings approached the chase and even criticised how the team used their in-form batter Shashank Singh during their loss against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Chasing 193, PBKS lost four wickets quite early and it was an explosive knock from Ashutosh Sharma that took them close before falling short by nine runs. Shashank Singh has been the most successful batter for the franchise in this year's IPL and Chopra believes that not playing him in the top order and just treating him as a finisher can be a big issue for the team.
