LSG’s Explosive 1st Innings: 203/8

Powerplay: Record-Breaking Start

LSG reached their highest tally of power play runs in the IPL, 91/1, and they were 14th on the list of all teams in the history of the tournament. Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh finished a decent 77-run first wicket stand to pave the way to the rest of the game.

Middle Overs: Pant and Raghuwanshi Hold Firm

After the powerplay carnage, Rishabh Pant (15 off 12) and Akshat Raghuwanshi (18 off 18) worked to keep the innings ticking. LSG reached 117/4 after ten overs, their highest ten-over total against CSK in IPL history, surpassing 105/4 set in 2023.

Death Overs: Shahbaz and Himmat Surge

In the final part, Shahbaz Ahmed (43 off 25) and Himmat Singh (17 off 12) roped up in a blistering manner. Their 50-run seventh-wicket stand became the highest seventh-wicket partnership in LSG’s IPL history. CSK’s bowling was led by Jamie Overton (3/36) and Anshul Kamboj (2 wickets).

CSK’s Chase: A Record-Equalling Triumph

CSK successfully chased down 204 with an over to spare to secure their third-highest successful chase in the history of the IPL and their highest chase against LSG, which was their 167-run stand at Lucknow last year.

Opening Blitz and Gaikwad’s Cameo

CSK’s powerplay total of 97/1 was their second-highest in IPL history. Ruturaj Gaikwad (42 off 28, SR 150) and Urvil Patel formed a vital second-wicket stand of 81, a new CSK record against LSG, bettering the previous best of 56 set in 2022.

Star Performer: Urvil Patel

Urvil Patel’s 65 off just 23 balls (8 sixes, 2 fours, SR 282.60) was the centrepiece of CSK’s chase. His 13-ball fifty equalled the joint fastest in IPL history, matching Yashasvi Jaiswal’s landmark from 2023  and became the fastest half-century by a CSK batter, eclipsing Suresh Raina’s 16-ball effort from 2014. Sanju Samson also contributed 28 off 14 with flair.

Bowling Heroes for LSG

Shahbaz Ahmed and Digvesh Rathi each took two wickets for LSG, with Avesh Khan chipping in with one. Despite their efforts, the required run-rate never truly troubled CSK’s aggressive batting line-up.

Key Turning Points

Inglis’s 17-ball fifty set up LSG’s 200+ total, but Patel’s 13-ball blitz sparked CSK’s dramatic chase, with the Shahbaz–Himmat stand proving the lone twist in between.

1. Josh Inglis’s 17-ball fifty (Overs 1–6): Inglis’s stunning powerplay assault, the fastest fifty by any LSG batter against CSK, set the tone entirely and dragged LSG towards a match-winning total.

• Urvil Patel’s 13-ball fifty (Overs 7–10): Patel’s record-breaking blitz was a blow to the defense of the chase and it made an impossible ask of a possible ask of a possible one for CSK.
• The partnership of Shahbaz–Himmat was the key as they scored 50 runs for LSG’s seventh wicket in the 16th over, which drove the game out of the comfort zone for CSK.
