Rahul’s brilliant innings halts CSK’s winning streak as LSG triumphs over Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024, despite late Dhoni heroics

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Lucknow Super Giants emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter against Chennai Super Kings at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium on Friday night. Despite a stunning cameo from M.S. Dhoni, Lucknow Super Giants chased down the target of 177 with ease, winning by eight wickets and an over to spare.

The chase was led by the captain, K.L. Rahul, who played a magnificent innings of 82 runs off 53 balls, supported by his opening partner Quinton de Kock who scored 54 runs off 43 balls. Their partnership of 134 runs was the second-highest of the season so far, effectively batting CSK out of the match.

CSK’s formidable attack was unable to contain the duo, as they scored freely during the PowerPlay and maintained the required run rate throughout the innings. Rahul’s elegant strokeplay, including a beautiful six off the back foot over point, was a delight to watch for the fans.

Earlier in the match, CSK had struggled with the bat, losing early wickets before Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 57 off 40 balls helped them post a total of 176 for six. However, some fine bowling from Lucknow Super Giants, especially by Mohsin Khan and Krunal Pandya, had CSK in trouble.

Despite a late flourish from Moeen Ali and Dhoni, the total proved to be insufficient as Lucknow Super Giants comfortably chased it down. The match was a perfect blend of individual brilliance and team effort, leaving the fans thoroughly entertained.
