Mitchell Marsh’s mayhem gets Lucknow Super Giants rare win, dents Chennai Super Kings’ playoff hopes

Mitchell Marsh’s mayhem gets Lucknow Super Giants rare win, dents Chennai Super Kings’ playoff hopes

Published by Webster

Synopsis: LSG-ian Marsh mellows CSK yellows after Akash flashes notes and serves notice Two wickets in as many balls ignited hope for Chennai Super Kings. A third too would soon fall, but the havoc that Mitchell Marsh had wreaked with his 90 from 38 balls was so irreversible that LSG, resisting all their self-implosive impulses, sauntered past the finish line. Victory would only do so much to restore their battered pride. But it imperils CSK’s playoff hopes and dents their run rate. Marsh, the man his teammates call Bison, sneered. He had sent the first four offerings of Anshul Kamboj over the fence. But the fifth— a savage strike no less — ricocheted off the bowler’s trailing right leg in his follow-through. So ferocious the straight drive was that it landed near the cover fielder. But Marsh did not stop; he was in a merciless mood, brutalising anything his long and powerful levers could reach.

The Ruturaj Gaekwad-led team had started this year’s IPL with three losses in their first three matches before winning the next two matches. With four matches left for the team in the league stage, Chennai would hope to win a minimum of three out of those four to have a chance to make it to the play-offs. When asked about everything seeming to be coming together for his team, CSK captain Gaikwad shared how the team had the belief right from the start and needed those couple of wins to get the momentum. “I think even initially after the second and third game, the talk was about you know even Fleming and myself were always positive. We always thought we were closer than what we thought or what we were …

3 min readApr 19, 2026 10:23 AM IST Chennai Super Kings legend R Ashwin lambasted the five-time champions after they suffered yet another dismal defeat at the hands of SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 match on Saturday. Chasing a 195-run target in Hyderabad, CSK fell 10 runs short with another weak batting display, marking their fourth loss in six matches and ending a two-match winning streak for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men. Ashwin questioned the CSK team selection and voiced an unpopular opinion, insisting that the batting failures are hampering the side more than an inexperienced bowling attack.

The freeze and the fix: Anshul Kamboj, the Test that stalled him and the IPL that rebuilt him | Cricket News

“I really don’t know what happened with Anshul. It was like he froze.” Satish Rana has asked his pupil the same question many times since last July. Soon after the Test. Weeks after Anshul Kamboj returned to Karnal. The answer has never changed. He didn’t know why he bowled the way he did. He didn’t feel pressure. There were no fitness issues. No warning signs. But whatever the reason, he simply couldn’t bowl in that Test. Kamboj had flown to Manchester as a replacement, seen by India’s think-tank as a seamer suited to English conditions — someone who could operate in the mid-130s, touch 140, and move the ball both ways. What India got instead was a bowler who ambled in at 125kph, almost anonymous in a match that demanded more from him. Nobody had an explanation. Not the support staff. Not captain Shubman Gill. Not Rana. Not even Kamboj himself. “I’ve been coaching him since childhood and I’ve never seen him have a day like that,” Rana says. “It was new not just for …

Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad and India’s Anshul Khamboj took three wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja claimed two scalps, to trigger a batting collapse as Chennai Super Kings bundled out hosts Gujarat Titans for 147 in 18.3 overs for a big win in Match 67 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Sunday. It turned out to be a Super Sunday for Chennai Super Kings as the five-time champions ended their season with a massive 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This is a massive result in the scope of the IPL playoffs. With this loss, Gujarat Titans’ hopes of finishing among the top two are in serious jeopardy. The winner of the clash between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, on Monday, will move past them in the table, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru could push them down further into an Eliminator spot with a win over Lucknow Super Giants in the final league game of the season. Opting to bat first, CSK rode on fifties by Dewald Brevis and …

Uncapped CSK Pacer Emerges As Surprise Pick For England Test Series: “He’s Deceptive…”

Published by Webster

Anshul Kamboj in action for Chennai Super Kings© BCCI Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming believes that fast bowler Anshul Kamboj can be a great addition to the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series against England. Following CSK’s match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, Fleming said that Kamboj’s deceptive pace and ability to hit the right lengths can prove to be quite useful in the English conditions. The BCCI selectors are expected to pick the squad this week with few question marks over Mohammed Shami’s fitness. “Kamboj is good. His speeds have been around 138-139 (kmph). He is deceptive and the ball always seems to hit the gloves harder. His big strength is his length, and he just gets the ball to wobble. You have seen it in this year’s IPL how he has performed on reasonably flat wickets. I believe he will do well on that tour (of England) if he gets conditions that seam a bit and a little bit of swing,” Fleming said. Kamboj was selected …

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan will headline the India A squad for the first unofficial Test against England Lions starting on May 30. With the IPL play-offs running simultaneously and the final slotted for June 3, The Indian Express understands that the national selection panel headed by Ajit Agarkar has picked a 14-member squad for the first match, including players whose involvement in the T20 league ended in the league stage. Other than Jaiswal and Kishan, other players expected to take the flight to UK by the end of this month include Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Dhruv Jurel, Shardul Thakur, Tanush Kotian, Akash Deep, Khaleel Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj and Manav Suthar. It is understood that Sarfaraz Khan, who isn’t part of any IPL team, will not travel with the first batch of the India A squad and instead head to UK alongwith the Test squad. Rajat Patidar, nursing a finger injury, is unlikely to make the cut for the England tour. After the first ‘Test’, the plan is to send the likes …
