As a result, they posted a nominal 176 runs on board on the back of Dhoni’s finishing touch. LSG started well with the bat and stitched 134 runs for the first wicket. KL Rahul led from the front and scored a match-winning 82 runs off 53 balls as Lucknow thwarted CSK by eight wickets.

“Feels good at the end of the day. When you win, most decisions feel right. We were committed to our plans. Really happy with that. Depends on the wicket, I deploy my bowlers. We tried to mix it around. The bowlers executed really well. The team is sticking to the plans. Halfway stage, I would have been happy with 160. The wicket was slow and a bit of grip. MSD walked in and the pressure got to the bowlers. He has had the intimidation on opposition bowlers,” said Rahul at the post-match presentation.
