At the halfway stage, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would have felt good about its chances after skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten century (108 n.o., 60b, 12x4, 3x6) helped the side to 210 for four against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
But Marcus Stoinis stunned a boisterous crowd into pin-drop silence with a sensational, unbeaten 124 (63b, 13x4, 6x6) to help LSG beat the host by six wickets for the second time in four days at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.
Needing 17 off the last over, Stoinis took down Mustafirzur Rahman over long-on for a maximum before collecting a hat-trick of boundaries to seal the chase in style.
