Lucknow Super Giants played a good power play but could not perform well later on. And the finishing was fine till the end of the match. But the problem is if these two batsmen Deepak Hoods and Krunal Pandya could have collected few runs for the team then surely Lucknow Super Gaints could have won. These two batsmen put the team under a lot of pressure due to which the subsequent wickets are often close in number of balls and runs. Chennai Super Kings have collected two points due to this team's loss today.
Lucknow Super Giants two batsmen played more balls but failed to score runs among them team captain KL Rahul scored 20 off 18 balls while Krunal Pandya scored 9 runs off 9 balls. Which has a big impact on the team. Moreover, Lucknow Super Giants managed to score only 6 runs in the 16th over, 7 runs in the 18th over and 9 runs in the 19th over, adding to the team's run pressure. A little increase in runs in these overs would have given them victory.

If Rituraj Gaikwad continues to play throughout this season as he has in the previous two games. He might get selected for the ODI team for the world cup. Hands down to Thala once again, I would love to see more of such power-hitting sixes. 217 was a big target and at one point when Myers was batting, I thought LSG would easily chase the target. CSK should have allowed the LSG captain to stay on the pitch for 20 overs. It would have made their win easy. This guy might get removed as a captain of LSG if he continues his bad form. 20 runs in 17 balls I guess he forgot that he is playing a 20 over match.
The selectors are still inclined towards oldies such as KL Rahul. Younger players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad doesn't have any powerful backers, and on top of that he represents one of the franchises now considered as out of favor by Kohli and Co. Anyway, he needs to perform consistently to have any chance of being considered for national team selection. He has done well so far in this season, with scores of 92 and 57 (against Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants respectively). And thanks to him, Chennai Super Kings are in a comfortable position as far as IPL points table is considered.
Regarding yesterday's match, Chennai super kings won by 12 runs but it was good contest where both the teams scored over 200 runs. Every body from Lucknow Super Giants chipped in, Kyle Mayers made 50+ run but in the end the target was too big for LSK to chase. I would say that they really tried their best and did not give up like other teams.
Dhoni's two sixes made all the difference ultimately since they ended up winning by 12 runs. Players like Jadeja, Rahul etc are out of form these days which is sad to see since they were extremely consistent before.Mayers and Rituraj keep delivering amazing performances again and again. CSK and LSG need to improve their bowling performances if they wish to qualify for the playoffs.

Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner won the match for Chennai Super Kings. All the credit went to Moeen, because he was the wicket taker. But then, Santner did an exceptional job, by conceding just 21 runs from 4 overs, in a match where the required run rate was around 11 runs per over. Moeen and Santner together bowled 8 overs, conceded 47 runs and picked up 5 wickets (Santner got the wicket of Deepak Hooda). KL Rahul failed once again for the Lucknow Super Giants, and only Kyle Mayers and Nicholas Pooran made a score of more than 30.

Indeed, KL Rahul's performance in the tournament's opening two games hasnt been up t par He has a lot of duty as the team's captain set the example and deliver regularly. He still has time to make comeback because the event is still in its early stages
The performance of KL Rahul is not up to the par for a long time, he failed to perform when he was with the Indian team and that lack of form is continuing in the IPL, my prediction is that he will regain his form in one of the matches and he will score a huge century to silence the critics and then everyone will forget about him unless he fails miserably yet again.Indeed, KL Rahul's performance in the tournament's opening two games hasnt been up t par He has a lot of duty as the team's captain set the example and deliver regularly.

Even the Hindi language commentary is full of energy which we usually do not find in English commentaries.
All the hype for the local commentary, will watch them next time to understand the energy everyone is talking about . Even the Hindi language commentary is full of energy which we usually do not find in English commentaries.
Has anyone watched this season IPl with bhojpuri commentary? If not you should try it once. It is hilarious whenever a 4 or 6 is hit by the batter and it becomes unberiably hilarious when a bowler gets a wicket. There are three versions of bhojpuri commentary for wickets. Which are when a batter gets bowled, caught and in the end LBW. Everything that the commentator says is not understandable but it really makes the game more engaging.

KL Rahul performance was poor in both matches. He had scored 8 runs from 12 balls against Delhi Capitals in the first match. And his strike rate wasn't enough today to chase the big target against Chennai. KL Rahul isn't playing as a responsible captain. LSG is lucky to get Kyle Mayers as a 'retained' player. They got him by spending only Rs 50 lakh. Kyle Mayers has batted very well in both matches.

Yet it's encouraging to see Kyle Mayers succeeding for LSG. He appears to be an important member of the group has contributed significantly to their up to date sucess Having a player who can have a significant influence while still saveing the team money is always a plus
Without Kyle Mayers, LSG's top-order players did not play well. KL Rahul though collected 20 runs, but his strike rate was only 111.

Lucknow batting lineup couldn't go well specially KL Rahul as usual.
One of the credits for Chennai Super Kings' victory today will go to Moeen Ali. Although he didn't score much runs but his run average helped his team, and bowling was his main strength today instead of other bowlers so high econ he took only 6.50 for 4 wickets and slowed down the Lucknow team's batting a lot, besides he is KL Rahul the big giant took the wicket first.Lucknow batting lineup couldn't go well specially KL Rahul as usual.

Captaincy of MSD is really appreciable, he brought Moeen Ali at the right time and had a break of partnership.
There is no denying the captaincy skills of MSD and he is a master in controlling the match even if you have mediocre bowlers. But the only issue i see is that, why is he coming way down the order with the striking skills he has, today he came down to bat at 8 which is ridiculous.Captaincy of MSD is really appreciable, he brought Moeen Ali at the right time and had a break of partnership.
Till the last LSG fought as it have got batting line-up till the last. 16th over from Deshpande is awesome that he conceded just 6 runs. Though it isn't a comfortable win, it is good that CSK have started its points on the table.
CSK has the weakest bowling unit and they are not planning to change that in this season as well and once MSD retired there is no way they are going to win matches with this bowling unit.

OOOOH! What a game! I mean this is the best game to watch with Bhojpuri commentary. They always say "kya khela" , which according to me is hilarious. I cannot exactly copy it but fas per my understanding for batters hitting 4 or 6 the commentators use these words "kya lapete ke mara". This is why JIO got so many views online. Another awesome marketing strategy by JIO.
BTW, CSK is in a great position. The only problem is that if the CSK bowlers can defend a total of more than 200+ targets.
EDIT: Thala did what he is known for! This game might be CSK's first win in this IPL.
Every word is gold to my ears when it comes to the pure desi version and they are following this template, which is very appealing to me. It's helping me polish my Bhojpuri as i am almost rusty in this regard but hearing this brings so many good memories which I spend with my Bihari friends. BTW, CSK is in a great position.

CSK should avoid taking KL's wicket at any cost then it's their game, otherwise they are fu*cked.
For Moeen Ali's responsible bowling, the match is completely in Chennai's control now. Moeen Ali conceded only 18 runs in 3 overs and picked up important wickets. He managed to pick up three crucial wickets for Kl Rahul, Kyle Mayers, and Krunal Pandya. LSG scored 80 runs in the first 6 overs of the powerplay. But now at the end of 11 overs, LSG's collection is 110/4. If the bowlers are able to bowl with some control, Chennai will win this match.
Without Kyle Mayers, LSG's top-order players did not play well. KL Rahul though collected 20 runs, but his strike rate was only 111. However, Dhoni is an experienced captain. He knows very well when to use a bowler to get good results. It is expected that Chennai will be able to win today's match.

Even after giving away a huge target of 218, Chennai cannot be said to be in the safe zone. The pitch was expected to be completely bowling-friendly. But we don't see it that way. The bowlers are not getting any advantage on this pitch.
LSG needs 11 runs in each over to win. Lucknow's openers Kyle Mayers and KL Rahul are playing very well. While KL Rahul is batting very carefully, Kyle Mayers is batting devastatingly. He is unbeaten with 48 runs from 20 balls. At the end of 5 overs, Lucknow managed to collect 73 runs. They are collecting more than 14 runs in every over. If Chennai's bowlers are not able to break this pair very quickly then I don't see any chance of them winning this match. However, apart from these two batsmen, LSG has experienced batsmen like Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda in their squad.
On an allegedly bowler friendly pitch, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have been playing outstanding cricket easily chasing down a target of 218 runs. Deepak Hooda and Nicholas Pooran two seasoned players for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are capable of offering first rate support. The Chennai Super Giants (CSG) put up a commendable total on the scoreboard by fighting valiantly the entire game. Both sides showed off their abilities and competitive spirit in a tough and thrilling contest. Congrats to CSG for a valiant effort and bravo to LSG for an outstanding run chase that helped them win the game by 12 runs. LSG needs 11 runs in each over to win.
