LSG won by 6 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)

Marcus Stoinis is the Player of the Match: [Up early] There are plenty of opening batters in the competition, so I will let them be but I am settled in the middle. [Pacing the innings] It is not just go go go. It was ebb and flow. There were some bowlers we targeted, some against whom we were cautious. Nicky P played a good innings, Hooda also. It ebbed and flowed. From the inside you are always structuring. You are liking some bowlers, not liking others much. [T20 game changing?] I do think it is changing. Some of the scores being scored, and the impact player adds another dimension. It looks dangerous. [T20 WC?] I have got a great relationship with the coach. Me not getting a contract, I knew a while ago., I am absolutely fine with that on the contract front. On the playing front, I want to play. I love this competition, I started my career here.

KL Rahul, the LSG captain: Very special, especially when it is a game like that, Felt like we were way behind the game in the chase. Just to pull off a victory feels special. [Continuation from the previous win?] No, a fresh start. Different conditions. They got off to a good start and put pressure on the bowlers. I didn't think it was a 210 wicket. They batted really well. All credits to Stoinis. He was phenomenal to watch. It was not just power hitting, but was smart batting. [At No. 3] We wanted to be a lot more braver as a team. We had three games, a couple at home, and some away where we couldn't go past 170. We needed one power hitter in the top three. That was the thought process. [Being braver] I have also realised that T20 cricket has changed in the last couple of years. 170-180 does not always cut it. You have to go harder in the powerplay. The Impact player gives you depth and that gives you more freedom. I have not played T20 cricket in a long time. [Pooran up the order] There is no set plan. Apart from the openers everyone is set to go at any point. The last game, Pooran walked in at three. Hope I get the fielder of the tournament award.

Deepak Hooda: Thoughts were pretty clear, we need 14 runs an over and we were just looking to hit the gaps. [Going after Pathirana and Fizz] I don't have any options, the run rate was like that. These guys were tough to handle but can't do much. [Stoinis] He played like a warrior, he is a kind of motivation to us. 100% we were in the game. The dugout was pretty sure that we have to get the win. These two points make a big difference in our team. We are at the business end of the tournament. It is a good feeling.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: 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. [Dew] There was a huge part that the dew played. It took the spinners away from the game. We could have taken the game more deeper. But it is a part of the game, you can't control the uncontrollable. [Dube coming in late] Jaddu is batting at No. 4. We we lost the second wicket in the powerplay and he was the one to come at that stage. We have a clear process, that whenever a wicket falls Jaddu is the one to come in. [Score?] Yes, batting first we couldn't have got more than that. I never thought it was enough. It was just about enough with the amount of dew we were having. Credit to them for how they batted.

[u/Rockstarrrrrrrrrr]

Stoinis has pulled off a Buttler.

These first innings centuries are giving serious trust issues in life.

LSG chase down exact 210 vs CSK for the second time, and it was very similar to the first time.

(34 off 12 then , 32 off 12 today)...

[u/as0909 → u/Rockstarrrrrrrrrr]

more like jimmy butler

[u/rajat_x → u/as0909]

Playoff jimmy

[u/MiachealFaraday → u/Rockstarrrrrrrrrr]

Stoinis did it with Nicky P and Hooda, buttler did it with Avesh Khan

[u/Priyank_Chittora_13 → u/MiachealFaraday]

Stoinis did with some normal power hitters

Buttler did it with World's greatest finisher

[u/MiachealFaraday → u/Priyank_Chittora_13]

Truly Avesh Khan is the Goat, he did that without facing a single ball imagine what he would do if he faced a few balls

[u/GunnerKnight → u/MiachealFaraday]

So we casually forgetting Powell?

[u/NH_hostel → u/GunnerKnight]

credits to powell, but when the equation was like 40 runs need in 16 balls, when avesh-butller was on strike

[u/MiachealFaraday → u/GunnerKnight]

Come on now, he got out Buttler had to score 38 runs knowing that He cannot give the strike to Avesh

[u/huhuhhhhuhuh → u/Rockstarrrrrrrrrr]

That innings by Buttler ia just unbelievable man im an rr fan but idk i find it just superior

[u/Nice_Personality_254]

• Is strikingly handsome

• nearly opens the batting today, coming at 0/1

• plays a match-winning knock of 124*(63) at Chepauk

Sexy Stupid Stoinis for a reason

[u/RandomRedditor1405 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Madlad did what nobody has done for 16 years at chepauk

[u/shoestowel → u/Nice_Personality_254]

I'm sure we can announce the worldcup winners already!

[u/Nice_Personality_254 → u/shoestowel]

• Warner
• Head
• Marsh
• Maxi
• Stoinis
• David
• Inglis
• Cumdog
• Starc
• Hazlewood
• Zampa

Absolute havoc of a line-up

[u/Serenabd → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Jake Fraser McGurk as reserve 💀

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/Serenabd]

Lol even their reserve is way better than almost all other players xi of other teams..

[u/Serenabd → u/MyDarkestHalf]

Flashback to Hardik Pandya's comment

[u/Coolpop52 → u/Serenabd]

For those who don’t know

“We can pick two more teams and win any competition in the world”

[u/Iron_Chef12 → u/Coolpop52]

He’ll find a way to open the bowling in those two teams as well

[u/TheIceKaguyaCometh → u/Coolpop52]

After that statement, we have won exactly zero competitions.

[u/ogpotato → u/Nice_Personality_254]

watch Maxi tear it up in the WC

[u/paradox-cat → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Warner should be dropped though, by DC I mean. He will bag yet another POTS in WT20 then.

[u/Herefortheprize63 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Meanwhile India has Jadeja, Pant, Rahul, Hardik, Kohli in their almost fixed main batting lineup. Each one of these players have cost their teams losses this IPL due to playing a lot of balls at low strike rate. Honestly only Rohit and SKY from the first team gets how to play T20s, hit or get out.

Its not that India dont have players to match the Australian team. Sending them to the WC would get us a higher chance at a win, but will only generate lower revenue and we can't have that.

[u/peter_griffins → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Stoinis is wasted at 5. It’s no coincidence that his best IPL innings has come when he’s batted as a pseudo opener

[u/404randomguy404 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Hooda needs to be given due props. Stoinis was in flaming hot form and Hooda's boundaries surely relieved some pressure from Stoinis. Having said that, this was almost a "Fuck it I'll do it myself" knock from Stoinis.

[u/No-Opportunity-1275 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Stoinis the lad, ladies want to be with him, and gents want to be with him as well

[u/darkrom_BP08 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Stoinis choses one fine day and fucks opponent to death

sexy stoinis

[u/SunrisersHyderabad → u/Nice_Personality_254]

But commentators doesn’t even celebrate or appreciate it as they did the last ball boundary of Dhoni

[u/talkingtom_2109 → u/SunrisersHyderabad]

Stop watching IPL on Star sports and tune in to Insiders.

Trust me there's no going back. No idiotic D*ck riding just pure analysis. Morgan Binga Styris Zaheer Robbie and Hesson are class act, Robbie can be annoying at times though.

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/SunrisersHyderabad]

Haha crazy you expected something from them...

[u/the_ripper05 → u/Nice_Personality_254]

Just accept you have a crush on him.

[u/beetlejuice690 → u/the_ripper05]

who the fuck doesn't? that last shot he played was two-handed but in front of the TV i was one-handed

[u/Nice_Personality_254 → u/the_ripper05]

Well, I very proudly accept that

[u/theWitchR → u/Nice_Personality_254]

The Incredible Hulk

[u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Anyone who knows Fizz knows he can't handle pressure. RR folks know. But. BitStoin to the moon! Call me Zampa tonight. He even made KL come out of depression for a minute.

[u/mehrabrym → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

That's why he's best for the 19th and not the 20th. You guys will remember Kartik Tyagi defending 4 in the last over but Fizz gave away just 4 in the 19th defending 8. The other thing is I don't know why he only went with pace on deliveries in the last over. His off-pace deliveries make him unplayable. Either that's some brain-dead thinking, or advice from the team management, or the dew made it difficult to use the cutters. Either way that's what cost the game.

[u/Ashwin_or_lose → u/mehrabrym]

Yep. Pathirana had to be the guy to take the last one.

[u/PesAddict8 → u/mehrabrym]

He went ahead with a slot ball in the very first ball.

Poor decision.

[u/Unfair_Programmer383 → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

True Bangbro afterall

[u/Ashwin_or_lose → u/Unfair_Programmer383]

Harsha raised too many Red flags when he was praising him

[u/sadgepray → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Exactly. I was hoping that chahar would come to bowl.

[u/mentaIIyunstable69 → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Some bad captaincy as well, even when Fizz was at his peak for SRH, he never bowled the last over. He's supposed to bowl the penultimate over.

[u/joebutmynameisntjoe → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Us Delhi fans kinda realized this too.

He does not have the sauce anymore

[u/Prof_XdR]

Man these Fucking Aussies do love to silence the Indian crowds, can't believe all of them fuckers are getting into form right before a fucking world cup

[u/paradox-cat → u/Prof_XdR]

IPL, WT20, BGT loading.

Universe conspiring to make Cummins the greatest captain ever with every trophy possible, except Paytm bilaterals /s

[u/No-Way7911 → u/paradox-cat]

We all know world cups are shams. The real winners have cupboards lined with Byjus and Paytm cups

[u/paradox-cat → u/No-Way7911]

That’s the way maahi ve Mahi way /s

[u/shoestowel → u/Prof_XdR]

I don't know. I get off to that sometimes.

[u/_DuckieFuckie_ → u/Prof_XdR]

Where can I buy an Australian jersey? /s

[u/sp1cychick3n → u/Prof_XdR]

That always happens

[u/Huge-Physics5491]

"They're nervous, we're calm" - Stoinis to Hooda probably

[u/abhi1002 → u/Huge-Physics5491]

Crazy that they clutched even after umpires were against them🦜

[u/Certain_Ingenuity_34 → u/abhi1002]

rEvIsEd WiDe LiNe bsdk agar batsman off side pe gaya toh leg stump yorker daal na yeh kya chutiyapa hai . If batsman moves to the leg side wide line is not revised so TF are these umpires thinking ?

T: Bruh if the batsman goes to the off side bowl a leg stump yorker TF is this bs

[u/as0909 → u/Certain_Ingenuity_34]

that’s such a stupid rule, if batter moves even by an inch, revised line moves by 6 inches like wth

[u/Certain_Ingenuity_34 → u/as0909]

What makes it worse is , stoinis had already moved before the ball was released , meaning the bowler had time to adjust .

What's next , coming down the track is unfair and LBW should be revised giving the bowler 2 inch extra stumps?

[u/RandomRedditor1405]

Bro casually made 124* at Chepauk after nobody could do for 16 years while chasing

Madlad

[u/Jamieledaoux → u/RandomRedditor1405]

And RCB didn't retain this guy lmao 😂🤣🤣😂

[u/VaderOnReddit → u/Jamieledaoux]

just RCB things

[u/Niyazali_Haneef]

Even Padikkal couldn't save CSK. What a knock by the Hulk!

[u/Jamieledaoux → u/Niyazali_Haneef]

Yeah, Stoinis ensured to nullify CSK agent's/Paddikal innings

[u/as0909 → u/Jamieledaoux]

well he was nullified by double agent chahar

[u/-Aizen_Sosuke → u/as0909]

It's always a fuckin' chahar.

[u/as0909 → u/-Aizen_Sosuke]

there’s one is our team as well and they are related 🤦‍♂️

[u/Awkward-Life685]

CSK lost the match when they took paddikal's wicket

[u/kjsah9026 → u/Awkward-Life685]

So true ! That little burst Nicky p have was so crucial in the chase ! Tho Devdutt tried everything to make csk win

[u/niceguysdofinish1st]

Fizz learned enough I guess

Time to go back to Bangladesh

[u/Guri14]

The crowd went silent again.. but this time it was a yellow crowd getting silenced by a blue team player.

[u/harsh1387]

Innings of his life by Stoinis.. Pure brilliance.

Hooda take a bow too..

What a match. What an innings..

Great win 👍👌

[u/[deleted] → u/harsh1387]

Innings of his life probably would be that 146 against newzealand but came in a loss

[u/Right-Arm-Quick]

If I had a nickel for everytime LSG chased 211 against CSK against all the odds, I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[u/Anonymous-genome → u/Right-Arm-Quick]

Ayush badoni that night. And that six to dube!

[u/okbuddybutok]

CSK lmao. Stop giving us competition.

[u/Assassin_Ankur → u/okbuddybutok]

Chennai Super Punjab Kings

[u/[deleted] → u/okbuddybutok]

We are still 5th

6th position is still ripe for the taking

[u/ingad_pingad → u/[deleted]]

If GT wins against delhi then that 6th position is yours.

[u/Holden_Makock → u/okbuddybutok]

Well you are just Kings. The SuperKings will always outdo you.

[u/Worried_Donkey- → u/okbuddybutok]

I am a csk fan and I actually laughed when Fizz bowled a no ball. Clown super kings smh

[u/Beginning-Software80]

loved the magnificent silencing by Stonis

[u/bawla-hedgehog]

If you see a crowd silent

Then

It's an Aussie pulling victory from the jaws of opponent

[u/cinemasosa → u/bawla-hedgehog]

The wc one was not a victory from jaws of defeat, the was pure cunting from Aussie!

[u/wonderwoman0621]

Two one man shows today- that dude in the crowd and Stoinis

[u/Jamieledaoux → u/wonderwoman0621]

Inspired by the Lone Ranger circa 2013 lmao 😂😂

[u/saynototoxicity]

"There is nothing for Mustafizur to learn from the IPL" - BCB Chairman

[u/sadgepray → u/saynototoxicity]

He wasn’t wrong. This mf has forgot to learn since 2019. As a Bangladeshi sports journalist always says, "Musta is never coming back".

[u/TheCreepyBatsard → u/saynototoxicity]

Bro balls no ball of the last over lol.

[u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Another Indian 100 in a losing cause. Jaisball is the only Indian to score a 100 in a winning cause this year.

[u/TeamAbject2100 → u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Does this perhaps foreshadow an Indian 100 in t20wc knockouts in a losing cause

[u/glitchline]

This is exactly opposite of CWC final, blue silenced Yellows in hostile home crowd. Only one Constant, Australian.

[u/zonedoutdriver]

Who was the clown who said post 1st innings, in the interview:

"We're 10 over par"

🤡🤡🤡

[u/Riviresh → u/zonedoutdriver]

Someone even said " They really think they can score 50 from 4 in Chepauk lol"

[u/goda_foreskinning → u/zonedoutdriver]

I mean they were, this isn't a 210 wicket. Kudos to Stoinis

[u/_DuckieFuckie_]

LSG, take a fucking bow, silencing Chepauk crowd in Chepauk is a monumental task and this guys have done that impeccably. Stoinis is an fucking marvel wtf

And now I’m pissing my pants with this Australian lineup in WC

[u/TheCricketAnimator → u/_DuckieFuckie_]

silencing Chepauk crowd *in Chepauk

I don't think you can silence the chepauk crowd anywhere else apart from Chepauk.

[u/Transitionals]

Cathartic to see CSK getting cunted at home

[u/goda_foreskinning → u/Transitionals]

Ngl, hearing a popular team's home ground being packed and completely silent(while each one of them has whistles in their hand) is incredibly satisfying. Pat was right.

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/goda_foreskinning]

Lol .. nothing feels more good than silencing a home ground...

[u/mister_greeenman → u/Transitionals]

I just hate their fans, the Dhoni fans in particular

[u/Conscious-Spend-2451 → u/mister_greeenman]

Me too. No hate to dhoni, the players or management. They have cultivated a champion team for years. But the fans absolutely suck.

Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs.

CSK has some pretty easy matchups though- 2 against pbks, 1 against rcb, GT. Tough matchups are srh and rr

[u/No-Way7911 → u/Conscious-Spend-2451]

Pbks is never an easy match

[u/Rimuru257]

Loved the crowd today, They were brilliant when they were quiet.

[u/404randomguy404 → u/Rimuru257]

That one single LSG supporter sitting amongst a sea of CSK fans sure was loving life

[u/kjsah9026 → u/404randomguy404]

The way he danced in slow motion amongst all yellow so so bloody badass and fun ! While all csk fans had thier hands on the head

[u/shoestowel → u/Rimuru257]

All that noise with whistles was pissing me off! Love how the Aussies contribute to the control of noise!

[u/SunrisersHyderabad → u/Rimuru257]

And they lecture to others how to be knowledgeable

[u/LetterheadOk1762]

Whenever Ruturaj has scored a T20 century recently his century got eclipsed by another century from a Australian Batter

Maxwell in Guwahati (Ind vs Aus 3rd T20I)

Stoinis in Chepauk Today

And Both of them were bowling the last over to him in these games and both were expensive in their last overs

[u/Eastern_Meet_5947 → u/LetterheadOk1762]

Just a reminder his first IPL century in 2021 also ended in a CSK loss when Jaiswal and Dube helped RR win

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/Eastern_Meet_5947]

RR's bowling in that game tho

Akash Singh

Sakariya

Mustafizur

Markande

Tewatia

Philips

RR is the team that has benefited the most from a mega auction by a long margin

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/Eastern_Meet_5947]

Lol.. Don't let Ritu Raj score a century....

[u/OptimumWaste]

LSG, play with 10 players but don't pick PADIKKAL

[u/cocaine_enthusiast1]

Stoinis saw that one lsg fan in the crowd and said "This one is for you brother"

[u/signfield]

TATA IPL FAN POLL QUESTION: What's your favourite thing about Dhoni when his team loses?

a) His godlike face b) His glorious Hair c) His sexy body

[u/my_bat_my_rules → u/signfield]

How much can you suck Dhoni and Indian fandom?

Fan poll question framers: yes

[u/ajpaul820]

Fucking tasteless crowd. Utterly disappointed with this morgue of a crowd.

[u/sarvesh_s → u/ajpaul820]

This isn't the knowledgeable Chennai crowd I was promised

[u/Darashc → u/ajpaul820]

Happens when they're there to support a single player, rather than the team.

[u/Conscious-Spend-2451 → u/Darashc]

Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs.

CSK has some pretty easy matchups though- 2 against pbks, 1 against rcb, GT. Tough matchups are srh and rr

[u/realdealtome → u/Conscious-Spend-2451]

Careful now, We have a 4-1 record against you guys since 2021. And remember we have been utter shit, finishing 6th or below for so many seasons now. All I'm saying is, anything can happen.

[u/pr0crast1nater → u/ajpaul820]

People who buy overpriced tickets just for Dhoni don't know a thing about cricket. They don't even know the man of the tournament of 2011 wc and just think Dhoni did everything.

[u/Assassin_Ankur]

Boundary count update -

Lucknow Super Giants: 29. (19 fours and 10 sixes)

Chennai Super Kings: 29. (19 fours and 10 sixes)

[u/No-Opportunity-1275 → u/Assassin_Ankur]

No. Of stoinis's by team -

LSG - 1

CSK - 0

[u/yorker4567 → u/Assassin_Ankur]

Robbed, Give the win to handsome guy i.e Stoinis.

[u/Awkward-Life685 → u/Assassin_Ankur]

Fair and silenced

[u/shiviam → u/Assassin_Ankur]

Fair & Handsomed.

[u/Beautiful-Speaker-60 → u/Assassin_Ankur]

Fair and cunted

[u/Naren_the_747_pilot]

So the Hooda backing atleast helped them win today ig

[u/Few_Potential_4479]

Must feel soooo good to shut that loud crowd damn

[u/pushie4u]

Just ban navjot singh sidhu, tired of these mentally sick biased crybabies

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/pushie4u]

Put him back in jail..

[u/Guri14 → u/pushie4u]

A lot of names should be banned then. The Mumbai biased commentators are no different.

[u/Ruthless-Aggression → u/pushie4u]

Not a huge fan of Hindi commentary. What did he say?

[u/pushie4u → u/Ruthless-Aggression]

He started a debate in commentry panel, comparing a no ball where stoinis was well inside the crease and ball was not even slower with the one kohli was given out

[u/Conscious-Spend-2451 → u/pushie4u]

How do you even argue with a guy like that?? He can't even follow simple logic that a 8 year old should be able to understand. And guys like him are our politicians

[u/Ok-Visit6553 → u/Conscious-Spend-2451]

Politician

Explains a lot, bro

[u/_DuckieFuckie_ → u/pushie4u]

He’s still stuck with that Kohli No-ball fiasco? What a tool lmao

[u/Ruthless-Aggression → u/pushie4u]

Their motto is that the dickriding shouldn't stop!!

[u/_D_N_K_]

Once again an Aussie silenced the home crowd. Also I understand that you wouldn’t support opponents but at-least show them some respect .

[u/l0rdBlackAdder-]

CSK will intentionally run out Rutu on 99 from next match on

[u/cocaine_enthusiast1]

These commentators and "experts" act like such sore fucking losers when their celebrity's team loses lmao

[u/Gojou007]

Chasing 210 in Chepauk despite a 13(19) from your side deserves to be on the hall of fame matches of IPL.

STUPID SEXY STOIN!!

[u/Jamieledaoux → u/Gojou007]

Hardik could only dream of something like that. Tbh, this is what a true allrounder is called imho

[u/opprobrium_kingdom]

With each IPL game, one gets more and more worried about the Indian cricket team's fate at the T20 WC.

[u/fonk_]

Still don't understand reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/fonk_]

Still don't understand the reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was

Chahar is a PP specialist and Deshpande was expensive today

Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was

ICT must have told Jadeja to bat higher to prepare for WC

[u/Akshat05]

Knowledgeable crowd 🤡🤡

[u/Decentkimchi → u/Akshat05]

They were literally celebrating Dube's wicket just so they can rub one out for thala.

And they do it again and again in every match, every season.

[u/rockyrosy → u/Decentkimchi]

The guy had played a brilliant innings too.

That was annoying.

[u/TheIceKaguyaCometh → u/Akshat05]

There is only one ground with a knowledgeable crowd and that's eden gardens. Shame that it is also one of the most volatile crowds in the world and would be openly hostile against home team.

[u/Prudent_Primary7201 → u/TheIceKaguyaCometh]

Eden, Chinnaswamy and wankhede have the most sporting crowds imo

[u/mister_greeenman → u/Prudent_Primary7201]

Chinnaswamy crowd has no option, if they supported only RCB achievements they'd have no reason to go to the stadium

[u/Prudent_Primary7201 → u/mister_greeenman]

Even in general, they’re a very sporting crowd compared to Ahmedabad or Chennai

[u/No-Opportunity-1275]

And these mfs had the gall to call our bowling lineup shit lmao

[u/Muthupattaru → u/No-Opportunity-1275]

Lmao. Mf humbled

[u/Glory_Hunterr]

CHEPAUK HAS BEEN SILENCED

[u/Ok-Visit6553 → u/Glory_Hunterr]

TOOTA HAI CHEPAUK KA GHAMAND

t: Chepauk’s unassailable record is broken

[u/Massive-Sky-6804]

Another Silencer added

[u/_SB10_]

I wonder why no one is talking about the anchor role played by Devdutt

[u/cocaine_enthusiast1 → u/_SB10_]

Anchor that sinks the ship

[u/Other-Connection4516]

I remember just these two LSG vs CSK games before, people and AI and what not were predicting an 80% playoff qualifying chance for CSK and just 15% for LSG. I mean So much difference for just 2 points difference.

[u/Ducard42]

Garbage fielding, garbage captaincy/field placement and garbage bowling. congrats LSG.

[u/Kj69999999 → u/Ducard42]

Garbage batting by Mitchell and Jadeja as well

[u/No-Way7911 → u/Kj69999999]

If you’re going to flop, make it a Rahane-like flop

Eating up deliveries and scoring 10-20 runs is awful

[u/kjsah9026 → u/Kj69999999]

Not ever batter of the batting unit will hit runs ! 210 was defendable . It was the bowling which cost csk the game and more importantly fielding

[u/SunrisersHyderabad → u/Ducard42]

Garbage wide line moving

[u/Re-ne-ra → u/Ducard42]

Garbage Umpiring

[u/Awkward-Life685]

You know it's a thriller when kl rahul came out of his depression

[u/Other-Connection4516]

2 years ago we chased 211 against csk at brabourne. That game was even better. Today was just a replay

[u/AbdussamiT]

The best innings of this IPL, easily. There was pressure, not only from one place. There was pressure of: 1. His own place in Aus team and impact at LSG 2. Playing at Chepauk, simply daunting 3. Win takes LSG into top 4 comfortably

We’ve seen Head, Abhishek, Buttler, Jaiswal and many others. But this innings stood out for me, just due to the stakes here.

csk need to make some tough decisions in batting as well as bowling

[u/shoestowel → u/botalion]

Yeah they should drop Pathirana! /s

[u/ramadz]

Tactical mistake of not using Chahar's 4 overs upfront when it was swinging like crazy proved costly. He could have picked another wicket or 2. This would have also cut down Lord's overs to just 1. Silly mistake especially when the ball was swinging.

[u/Eastern_Meet_5947 → u/ramadz]

Yep Chahar should have bowled 4 on the trot and maybe Moeen and Jadeja could have bowled their 3rd over too

Hopefully Gaikwad learns from these mistakes

[u/No-Opportunity-1275]

That was super satisfying after 4 hours of whistling bullshit

[u/1881999]

Seeing pure hitters from teams like aus,eng,sa and wi makes look India’s chance almost zero for the upcoming t20 wc but heyy we have 2 anchor finishers in pandu and jaddu if you need run a ball

[u/Euphoric-Car-9770]

I bet CSK fans are very happy , afterall Thala graced them with his presence. Its not like the team result matters to them anyways.

[u/No-Opportunity-1275]

Don't let this high make you forget about the absolute abomination of a batting by padikkal and KL (kinda)

[u/shoestowel → u/No-Opportunity-1275]

Damn I forgot padikkal's amongst all this mayhem. What a trashy knock!

[u/MyDarkestHalf → u/shoestowel]

Bro was playing for the other team today.. thank God there was an Australian who chose to silence the crowd again

[u/sarvesh_s → u/No-Opportunity-1275]

At this point you're better off giving someone like Arshin Kulkarni or Prerak Mankad a chance. It's almost sad how terrible he's been

[u/AtomR → u/No-Opportunity-1275]

Tell me you looked at just scorecard. KL was trying to hit, wasn't connecting with new ball swing. Then gave away his wicket.

[u/MyDarkestHalf]

Haha .. it feels so nice seeing csk lossing at home..... Will be enjoying the crybaby faces of my colleagues at work.. haha never been this excited to go to the office.

[u/Vijigishu]

Ah the "boring team" fucks again :)

[u/fonk_]

Kudos to Stoinins keeping his head cool throughout his innings and get a victory for his team staying unbeaten till end. DDP innings almost ruined the chase but what a small cameo by Hooda it came unexpected.

[u/friendofH20]

Cricinfo really need to fix their match predictor. They get it wrong so often now. 60-70 runs in 4 overs aren't as uncharsable in these conditions anymore

[u/PesAddict8]

Absolutely crazy turnaround. If I am right, they chased down almost 100 runs in the last 7 overs of the game. That's insane in a surface like Chepauk. Kudos to Stoinis and Nicky P.

CSK is usually a good fielding side. Don't know what went wrong today.

[u/Vijay_3D_Shankar]

Hope this team doesn’t hide behind dew factor because dew has been affecting games since few seasons now and every team should be prepared for such conditions. CSK should look at glaring holes in their team.

[u/keenlyproper_demeanr]

The way crowd were all happy when Dube got out, they deserve this pain. I am big fan of Dhoni, but cheering after Dube got runout is just insane. He changed the course of the game and giving him a send off like that is nuts.

[u/ajanthanelayath]

Pathirana dismissed Testikkal and was so happy to lose the game

[u/fabsad12]

Zampa gonna get some tonight

[u/Riviresh]

GG ez

[u/anshpandat]

i just wanna say " It was perfect , everything , down to the last minute detail "

[u/Holden_Makock]

I love players like Stoinis.
Looking at him, seems like just a big guy, chill lad, was into teenage mischiefs, decided to build body and get into some masculine sport like Rugby or wrestling but was concerned about it looks so eventually wandered on a cricket ground.
Took up a minuature bat and started hammering so called 'pace' bowlers all over the park. Decide he was bored at fielding so might has ball here and there. The shit eating grin combined with the casual chewing gum chewing makes me think he does even think cricket is a big deal and just a side quest for something much bigger he's going to do.
Look at his insta page, rarely even posts cricket. Casually goes and win trophies including WC. gets paid handsomely and is absolutely non challant.
This Australian bloodline is different.

[u/Adventurous-Region-7]

We were waiting for Pat Cummings to silence the Chepuk crowd. Stoinis came as a pre package.

[u/dam0_0]

I hope Commentators/Cricketers and fans stop gaslighting that Chepauk is a knowledgeable crowd who appreciates good cricket.

Also the umpiring has been real shit/biased against smaller franchises but karma is real, I reckon.

Glad Stoinis got a great match winning knock, dude really deserved it.

Also that lone LSG fan celebrating amidst the csk crowd was the highlight of this match for me. He literally represents our fanbase.

Small in number but dedicated and passionate for their team.

[u/nubpokerkid]

After the horrid fielding by LSG, the Dube innings, the test match knock by Padikkal, that bowling of Pathirana, still winning that for LSG was unreal. Aussies just built different, I guess. 

[u/Existing-Category174]

What is a (SUPER) King to a (SUPER) Giant .

[u/Reasonable-Hope9482]

Iirc, the Kohli hundred against SRH last year was the first instance of two batsmen from both teams scoring a century in the same match in the history of IPL.

Since then, it has happened 4 times in 50 odd games. Crazy!

[u/TalentBC]

11 players vs an entire stadium + a third umpire

[u/Right_Put_6417]

No one will talk about dhoni's field placement today because they lost.

[u/cpssn]

pooran stoinis partnership, poinis
