After Padikkal’s wicket, Nicholas Pooran comes in and starts smashing the balls. Pooran scored 34 runs in just 15 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. His support to Stoinis was short termed. Stoinis didn’t received much help from other batters, except for Pooran. But Stoinis, oh, still smashed a century in 56 balls. Matheesha Pathirana takes 2 wickets. Stoinis took the game away from Chennai Super kings and chased the target in final over with a little help of Deepak Hooda.

Marcus Stoinis got the player of the match for his horrific chasing show. Who would have thought, in Chennai, Chennai Super kings got defeated. In Bowling Department, Lucknow couldn’t do much. But Lucknow, they turned the table in batting. Marcus Stoinis, alone, had done the Job. After this win, Lucknow Super Giants climbed to № 4 position on the point table.

Chennai Super kings, they couldn’t keep momentum to their self. CSK had much misfeilding issues. Deepak Chahar bowled only for 2 overs. Why he didn’t come to bowl another 2 overs is a mystery. Shardul Thakur came as an impact player and gave too much runs. Some questions are going to stay unanswered. Chennai Super Kings is now at 5th position on the point table. This marks the first loss at home for Chennai super kings.
