CSK Chase Begins with Fireworks

Chasing 204 at Chepauk is never easy, but Chennai’s batting lineup showed no fear.

Sanju Samson provided the early momentum with a rapid 28 off 14 balls, attacking from the very first over.

Then came the game -changing knock from Urvil Patel, who completely dismantled the LSG bowling attack.

He smashed 65 runs in just 23 balls, including 8 massive sixes, at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 282.60.

His partnership with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored a composed 42 off 28 balls, laid the perfect foundation.

Late Drama But CSK Hold Nerve

Aiden Markram’s final over proved expensive, conceding 14 runs in just 2 balls.

Match Turning Point
