(Cricket news) The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) completed the season sweep of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with a six-wicket win in the TATA IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Tuesday. CSK set a target of 211 runs, but LSG chased it down in a thrilling final over, as they won the game with three balls to spare. JioCinema TATA IPL experts Mike Hesson and Eoin Morgan praised centurions Marcus Stoinis (124* runs) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (108* runs) on Match Centre Live.
Mike Hesson, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Marcus Stoinis – “LSG have used four players batting at No. 3. Marcus Stoinis is usually brought on in the back-end of the innings as a power player, him and Pooran do that job. Today, he got the opportunity at three. He showed batsmanship, he showed poise, he showed exceptional decision-making, we know he’s got power. For him to not only get a hundred but a winning hundred while chasing an above-par score at the Chepauk, absolutely outstanding innings.”
Hesson on CSK’s tough loss – “They did a lot right today. They probably think they did enough to win that game. I think they got the game to a point where Pathirana and Mustafizur bowled the last four overs, so they had it where they wanted. They’ll think that’s one that got away… I think CSK will look at what they can do, and they’ll do it a lot better.”
Eoin Morgan, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Ruturaj Gaikwad – “Eoin Morgan guarantee you he would hand that hundred back for the two-point victory today, so mixed emotions from his side of things. It goes to show how the game is continuing to develop. Eoin Morgan highlighted when it happened previously with two hundreds being scored in the same game. Scoring a hundred doesn’t guarantee you a victory at this year’s TATA IPL.”
