Commentary

Right then. That's all we have from this contest. Lucknow Super Giants pick up their maiden IPL victory. What a way to do it as well. Recording the fourth-highest run-chase in the history of the tournament and doing it against the defending champions. It's the first time CSK have lost their first two games in the tournament. Not the kind of start Ravindra Jadeja would have been looking for to his captaincy tenure.

The trend of chasing continues to prove the successful one in this edition so far. Twists, turns, and tons of runs with some drama. That's all the IPL is all about. See you again tomorrow, then? It'll be Kolkata Knight Riders taking on the Punjab Kings tomorrow. See you for that one! Same place, same time. Until then, this is the duo of Pratyush and Bala, signing off. Goodnight!

Evin Lewis (Player of the Match): It was a bit tough (batting at 4). It was a very good wicket, once you get in, you can capitalize. That's what I did. I just backed my skills, strengths and ability. I think he is a very confident guy. I saw him (Badoni) a couple of times in the nets. He just tries to keep it simple. Actually, it's always good to be scoring. Especially on the big stage at the IPL. Let's try to keep it simple to make the most of the opportunity to do the best of the team and myself.

KL Rahul (LSG captain): (On Ravi Bishnoi) I've said this before. He has a big heart and is a fighter for a young boy. He wants to be in a fight and didn't shy away from it, despite being hit for a few runs in the previous game. It just shows the character he has to bounce back quickly, even with the wet ball. When they've got off to a 70-run start in the powerplay, to come back like that talks about his character. Really happy for him. He's been someone who wants to grow and learn. Spending a lot of time with his spin coaches. It's really good to see. (On Badoni) Credit for him should go do Vijay Dahiya and GG. They were the ones who were really keen on getting him. I had seen a few videos of him before but you obviously see only the good shots there. Since the first day I've come into the camp, he has been phenomenal. He's strong, a 360-degree player who can ball as well. Great find for Indian cricket. Hopefully, he can learn and get better to be a great asset in white-ball cricket. (On the run chase) You give yourself an over or two. Have to get a couple of boundaries going to settle your nerves but after that it's 200 on the board. You know what you have to do. Capitalize on the powerplay and put pressure on the bowler. That's what we tried to do. Batting with Quinny with the right-left combo does have its advantages. He's been in good form coming into the tournament, so he was batting beautifully as well. We gave the team the ideal start we needed, so that's good. (Evin Lewis) I had this chat with him before the first game. I said me and Quinny will be opening so you might have to bat at three. He said it doesn't matter. Spinner or fast bowlers, he'll just go about it one way. He's worked really hard on his batting since the last time I've seen him. He's hitting all over the park. It's great to see him performing well and that's putting a smile on the captain's face.

Lucknow Super Giants beat Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets with three balls remaining!

LSG 211/4 (20 overs) | Quinton de Kock 61(45), Evin Lewis 55(23) | Dwaine Pretorius 2/31 (4), Dwayne Bravo 1/35 (4)

What a brilliant chase that was from the Super Giants. Skipper KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock gave them the perfect start, building up an opening stand of 99 runs in just over 10 overs. They ensured that the required run rate never got out of hand right from the start of the chase.

After the dismissal of KL Rahul though, the batters found it a bit tough to find the boundaries consistently. Dwayne Bravo and Dwaine Pretorius bowled brilliantly during the middle overs and dried up the runs. However, Evin Lewis did not allow them to take control of the game.

When it felt like the required rate was slowly getting out of their hands, Evin Lewis came to the party. He was starved of the strike in the early part of the innings, but really came into the party towards the end. He bludgeoned his way to yet another half-century, turning the game on its head.

The dew played a big part in the chase. For the batters, not only did the ball come better onto the bat, it also meant that the spinners of CSK were rendered ineffective. As a result, Pretorius and Bravo had to bowl through the middle-phase and finish their spells by the 18th over. In the end, that 19th over by Shivam Dube proved to be the most expensive one in the context of the game.

Both sides were below-par on the fielding front tonight. But CSK would certainly rue the missed opportunities more, since they ended up on the wrong side of the result. Like what Ravindra Jadeja rightly pointed out, the teams may now look to practise more with the wet ball since the dew is expected to play a big part throughout the rest of the tournament.

Quinton de Kock: That was unbelievable. Winning these tight games is always good for the team. Great win, the boys came back fighting. That's always special. We thought we can chase down 210. We understood after the first couple of overs that it was a great wicket. It was a par score on this wicket but well done to us to chase it down. It's nice to get out there and bat. It was just a matter of getting out there and spending some time in the middle. Evin played a hell of a knock tonight. So did the youngster. Obviously pretty nervy in the dugout. Chasing 210 is always going to be a close game. I was pretty calm myself but there were a few nerves around. To get it done, it's still a hell of a job.

Ravindra Jadeja (CSK captain): We had a very good start. But still, you have to take those catches. We could have taken those chances. I would say there was a lot of dew. The ball was not sticking in the hands. We need to practice with the wet ball next time. We batted brilliantly, especially the top six. The wicket was good to bat on. But we still need to still execute the plans.

Ba-Dhoni it is! The youngster finishes it off in style. But what an innings it was from Evin Lewis. While the other batters found it hard to get going after that brisk start, he kept finding the boundaries and took LSG to the total with some lusty blows. The dew might have certainly helped, but LSG just executed this chase to perfection.

20.0

19.3 Mukesh Choudhary to Ayush Badoni, LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS GET THEIR FIRST WIN! Back of a good length on the off-stump line, Badoni heaves it into the leg-side and it's landed in the pocket at deep mid-wicket. Ended with a single as the new franchise get their first win. Much to the delight of their dugout. This is the fourth highest chase in IPL history. Lucknow Super Giants win by 6 wickets with 3 balls to spare.

19.2 Mukesh Choudhary to Ayush Badoni, back of a length angled across outside off, Badoni pulls it off the toe-end to find mid-on, no run

19.1 Mukesh Choudhary to Ayush Badoni, SIX! BA-DHONI? Short and down the leg side again, easy pickings for Badoni as he pulls it over fine leg to clear the ropes. This little lad can finish a game, eh?

19.1 Mukesh Choudhary to Ayush Badoni, WIDE. Another short one down the leg side as Badoni misses his pull. No matter, he'll get another go. Oh, the funny things pressure does.

19.1 Mukesh Choudhary to Ayush Badoni, WIDE. Huge wide, no doubt about that one. Short and well wide outside off. 8 off 6 now.

Mukesh Choudhary will bowl the final over. Just 9 runs required now.

Evin Lewis, you beauty! What a display a power hitting this has been. He has just turned this match on its head. CSK made a gamble, finishing Bravo early and giving the penultimate over to Shivam Dube. The gamble failed miserably though.

18.6 Shivam Dube to Evin Lewis, SIX! FIFTY FOR EVIN LEWIS! What a hit that. In the slot once more and it's easy pickings for someone of Lewis' caliber. All about the big-boy muscle again as he effortlessly hits this through the line and clears long-off with significant ease. 25 runs off that over! Will that seal the deal for LSG?

18.5 Shivam Dube to Evin Lewis, FOUR! That's big man power! Aided by a bit of poor bowling. In the slot again and Lewis can whack it through the line. Back over the bowler's head, thanks for coming! Game changing over!

18.4 Shivam Dube to Evin Lewis, FOUR! No stopping that one! Slower one on the length outside off-stump. Too much width on offer and Lewis has cashed in, hammering it through extra cover to find an important boundary

18.3 Shivam Dube to Evin Lewis, IN THE AIR.. SAFE! Full and wide outside the off-stump. Lewis looks for the heave but he's missed out, skewing it away uppishly towards deep point to scamper back for two
