Lucknow. Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are struggling with a consecutive defeat in IPL 2025, have finally caught the path of victory. In the match played at Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, CSK defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 5 wickets to register the second win of the season. Chennai won this victory in the last over, leading to the team’s morale again.
This victory was also special for CSK because the team lost five consecutive matches after winning the first match. This is the first time in IPL history, when Chennai lost five consecutive matches in a season. At the same time, this was Lucknow’s third defeat in seven matches.
Chasing the target of 167 runs given by Lucknow, Chennai’s debut was bang. Sheikh Rasid (27 runs) and Rachin Ravindra (37 runs) scored fast runs in the powerplay. However, both batsmen soon returned to the pavilion. After this, Rahul Tripathi (9 runs) and Ravindra Jadeja (7 runs) could not do anything special. Vijay Shankar (9 runs) was also dismissed cheaply.
Despite the fall of the wickets, Shivam Dubey (43 runs) kept one end and then Mahendra Singh Dhoni turned out to be an aggressive batting. Dhoni hit the team to win by hitting 26 runs in just 11 balls. His stormy cameo thrills the audience.
Earlier, Lucknow started to bat first after losing the toss. Khalil Ahmed shocked the Marrank, while Nicholas Puran also started walking early. After this, Rishabh Pant (63 runs) and Mitchell Marsh (30 runs) tried to handle the innings.
Ravindra Jadeja’s tight bowling tightened Lucknow’s rung. He pressurized Marsh and then Ayush Badoni (22 runs) seen in good rhythm. In the end, LSG scored 166/7 in 20 overs thanks to Pant’s half -century innings.
In the victory of CSK, Ravindra Jadeja shines with both the ball and the bat, who did wonders in fielding besides taking 2 wickets. At the same time, Dhoni not only showed cleverness on the field, but also played the match winning innings, taking out the team from the bat.
After this victory, Chennai has again made itself competitive in the points table. At the same time, Lucknow has suffered a big shock from this defeat, especially when it looked strong in the playoff race.
