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.

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.

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.

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

I will not put the entire blame on Kl Rahul, if Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya were not out for so few runs then maybe there would have been a positive sign for Lucknow Super Giants to win. Anyway Lucknow Super Giants players didn't play too bad chasing 217 runs and took 205 runs and the wickets fell evenly I would say today's game performance was very close.

Good match played by chennai super kings, they did it with the help of moeen Ali smashing balling which made their win easier.
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.

In today's match it is the spinners that took credit and turned the match scenario. Along with Moeen Ali the bowling of Santner did miracles for CSK when fast bowlers were with an economy above 12 runs per over. Moeen Ali conceded 26 runs in 4 overs taking 4 wickets. Santner went one step high conceding just 21 runs in 4 overs with the important wicket of Hooda.

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.

Maybe he thought of giving opportunities and understand whom need to be placed on which order in the upcoming matches. Even at the eighth position he came, scored 12 runs and caught out.

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.

Agreed, during the opening overs the runs were at 18 runs per over. Ben Stokes who was in rest have come to bowl and gave 18 runs. Deshpande bowled better, but it looked like he's in fear as he continued to bowl wide and no balls. CSK is much of batting dependent than the bowling unit. Based on which we can predict the outcome of the match. If the team failed to score 180+ runs in any match against any team, it is going to be loss for CSK.

Once his wicket fell, in the next two overs Hooda lost his wicket followed by Rahul. In 6 overs LSG reached 80 runs and in 9 overs the score was 96 runs. As said LSG was lucky to have Kyle Mayers as the opener. Rahul is a slow scorer who starts to make fast runs only after his 50 runs. This is his pattern of play, and he used to perform well in the important matches. Lets see what's going to happen in the upcoming matches. In the next auction Kyle Mayers will have high demand based on his performance.

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.

CSK should avoid taking KL's wicket at any cost then it's their game, otherwise they are fu*cked. Tongue

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.

Finally Chennai Super Kings won their home field. Although it was already assumed that this team have the high provability to win the match as it is played in their home ground. I have a little difference with my thought the run on the spin pitch would be relatively low but it did not, the total score beyond my expectation. Chennai Super Kings has collected 217 runs in the match, on the other hand, thanks to Lucknow Super Giants that they have been able to make a good score against such a big one.

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.

Chennai made a huge total of 217 for the loss of 7 wickets. Although the performance of the batsmen was not good in the first match, they played well in today's match. The two openers Gaikwad and Conway started the innings well. Almost every batsman in the top order batted well. This is why Chennai managed to collect a huge 217.
However, like in the first match, Jadeja did not play well today. He collected only 3 runs off 6 balls. LSG's batsmen are in good form though. Even then, it is much more difficult to score 218 runs to win this match. But if the top order is able to play well then LSG have a chance to win.
In the first over, LSG managed to collect 7 runs without losing any wickets.

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.

Csk put on a huge total of 217. LSG is chasing the total right now. But I honestly do not think they will actually be able to win. Less than 5 overs remaining right now. They need more than 16 runs per over. They need 67 from 28 balls. They only have five wickets in hand. This task is becoming near impossible for them in my opinion.

Chennai Super Kings should be able to win this match. Because if even one weekend falls right now, it is going to be too much to ask from the lower order of LSG.
