The former captain of Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni, was left fuming at Deepak Chahar, who conceded two boundaries to Lucknow Super Giants due to his missed fielding in the death overs, ultimately costing CSK the match as LSG beat them by six wickets at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk.

Batting first, Chennai Super Kings put up 210 runs for the loss of four wickets, riding on captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten century and Shivam Dube’s magnificent half-century.

LSG’s Run-Chase

In reply, Lucknow Super Giants had a horrible start with both openers failing, but then Marcus Stoinis turned up and hit a historic century to chase down the target of 211 runs single-handedly.

Stoinis played an unbeaten knock of 124 runs from just 63 balls with the help of 13 boundaries and six maximums. This is the highest score by any batsman in a run chase in the history of the IPL.

Marcus Stoinis’ Materclass

Chennai Super Kings were in complete control of the game until the 12th over, but after that, Marcus Stoinis and Nicolas Pooran started taking on the CSK bowlers and never looked back. While Pooran was dismissed in the 17th over, Stoinis kept up the onslaught and finally took the team over the finish line.

The two misfields by Deepak Chahar have led to a lot of criticism towards him. Fans have also reacted to this. Let’s take a look at some of the top reactions on social media:
