Successful run-chases for LSG in the IPL (by targets)

213 vs RCB - by 1 wicket - Bengaluru, 2023

211 vs CSK - by 6 wickets - Brabourne, 2022

183 vs SRH - by 7 wickets - Hyderabad, 2023

177 vs CSK - by 8 wickets - Lucknow, 2024

150 vs DC - by 6 wickets - Mumbai DYP, 2022

112 vs SRH - by 6 wickets - Lucknow, 2023

This was just their 6th win in 17 matches while batting second in the IPL.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK captain: "We finished off very well, couldn't have asked for more. But after powerplay, we couldn't kick off till 14-15th over. We lost wickets regularly and were 10-15 short. Slightly difficult to bat but with Impact Player rule you need an extra batter. With dew coming on later, felt 180-190 could have been good.

[Bowling in the powerplay] is one area we would like to improve, puts opposition in the back foot if we can get wickets in the powerplay. Good to play them again soon, will come back with homework done."

No my boi😅

LSG haven't lost much sweat in chasing this down. Did it get easier to bat second? It did. But CSK bowling and fielding was a lot to be desired. They sprayed it to all parts of the deck. Didn't use Ali enough and Jadeja the bowler was put under pressure. Mustafizur struggled for control and so did Pathirana. But all of this because Rahul batted like a dream. The wicket was a little two-paced. QDK found it a little tough and got a chance as well. But he hung in there and together with Rahul added 134 for the first wicket. That killed off the chase. Earlier, LSG controlled the CSK batting as well to restrict them to 176. LSG picked up wickets with the new ball and in the middle overs and it was MSD who scored a brisk cameo to take them close to 180. In Hindsight, CSK would feel that they were at least 20 short as LSG barely tried too hard to chase this down.
