IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live updates: Marcus Stoinis remained unbeaten on 124 off 63 balls to make sure LSG stun CSK in the high-scoring encounter at the Chepauk. Stoinis was named the Player of the Match for his memorable century. Stoinis smoked 13 sixes in his first-ever IPL ton. “There was a phase where I wasn’t able to hit the boundaries so it was great Pooran could come in and take the pressure off. Lots of ebbs and flows, just tried to keep it in control. You’re planning and structuring, you're not liking certain bowlers and you’re liking others more. I do think T20 cricket is changing, the scores that have been scored, the impact player role and how teams are taking on the bowlers,” Stoinis said. 

IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live Score: LSG skipper KL Rahul was all praise for Stoinis, who smashed 124 off 63 balls to seal a famous win for the visitors. “Very special, especially when it’s a game like that. We were way behind the game when we were batting so it was very special to pull it off. It was a fresh start, both teams started off at 0. Different conditions here. I think they started off really well and put us under pressure. 170-180 would’ve been a great total here but they batted really well. Full credit to Stoinis. It was not just power hitting, it was very clever batting,” Rahul said.

IPL 2024, CSK vs LSG IPL Live Score: CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that the six-wicket defeat at the hands of LSG is a tough pill to swallow for the defending champions. CSK skipper Gaikwad smashed his second century of the IPL to help the hosts post 210/4 in 20 overs. However, Gaikwad’s maiden ton as CSK skipper went in vain as Stoinis slammed his first-ever IPL century to seal a six-wicket for the Super Giants at the Chepauk. 

“Tough pill to swallow, but good game of cricket. LSG played really well in the back end. We had the game in control till 13-14 overs, but Stoinis played a great innings. (On dew) It played a part, there was a huge amount of dew and it took our spinners out of the game. We could have otherwise controlled the game better and taken it deeper. But these are parts of the game, can’t control it,” Gaikwad said. 

“Jaddu is batting at number 4 since we lost the second wicket within the powerplay. (On Dube’s entry point) Our thinking is clear that after the powerplay if there is a wicket, Shivam will come out to bat. We can’t force batters to get out after. To be honest, I thought our target wasn’t enough, it was just about par because of the dew we’ve seen during our practice sessions. But credit to the way LSG batted,” the CSK skipper added.
