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.

What LSG’s Akash Singh said in note he held up to celebrate wickets vs CSK

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: May 15, 2026 09:14 PM IST Akash Singh made heads turn with his celebration as much as his exceptional performance on Friday night for Lucknow Super Giants against Chennai Super Kings at the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). Akash ripped through the CSK top order in the three overs he bowled either side of the end of the powerplay and each time he took a wicket, he pulled out a little note and held it up. It didn’t take long for eagle-eyed fans online to post what the note said and eventually, it was confirmed by LSG’s own X handle and the on-air commentators as well. “#Akkionfire – Akash knows how to take wickets in a T20 game,” the note read. Akash had shared new ball duties with Mohammed Shami and while he was hit for a four by CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad off just his second ball, he ended up giving just seven runs in that over. Gaikwad would fall the next time Akash came into the attack, which was the …

FOLLOW: LSG VS CSK IPL 2026 LIVE SCORE On Friday at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, CSK have the chance to take a crucial step ahead towards the Playoffs while also making the top-4 race all the more intense should they trounce the Super Giants for the second time in five days. CSK will hold a lot of promise in the fact that they broke an eight-year drought when they chased down a 204-run target against Lucknow at Chepauk, a feat they had not managed since 2018. CSK could become the fourth team to reach 14 points should they beat LSG tonight, even pipping the Punjab Kings, who had started the season unbeaten across seven matches, before dropping five matches on the bounce and …

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) IPL 2026 Playing 11 Today Match, Squad, Players List: Out of contention Lucknow Super Giants will look to follow Mumbai Indians’ footsteps to be another team who are out of contention, acting as a banana peel unit against Chennai Super Kings, who has a chance to leapfrog Punjab Kings and go into the playoffs spot after PBKS lost to MI on Thursday. Coming to the team news, Lucknow will not have Mohsin Khan and they might opt to go for Mayank Yadav in place of Avesh Khan in the lineup. Except for that, there won’t likely be any changes. For Chennai Super Kings though, they have to change their starting lineup once again with another player going down to injury. Jamie Overton is the latest to be ruled out of the remainder of the tournament so expect Spencer Johnson to LSG vs CSK Predicted XIIs Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Urvil Patel, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Akeal Hosein, Prashant Veer, …

IPL Man of the Match Awards List update:  Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rolled back the years on a spectacular Sunday double-header of IPL 2025 in their respective games. The IPL’s two highest run-getters set up wins for their respective teams, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and inevitably landed the Player of the Match award. While Kohli’s umbeaten half-century for RCB against the Punjab Kings in a reverse fixture in Mullanpur earned his side their fifth win on the trot away from home, Rohit finally came good with the bat for MI in a thumping nine-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings. The 37-year-old Rohit got going with a six that landed in the stand that will soon be renamed in his name at the Wankhede. His unbeaten fifty also helped him surpass Shikhar Dhawan as the IPL’s second-highest run-scorer, only behind Kohli. Rohit’s knock set up MI’s win, earning him his 20th Player of the Match award in the IPL, bettering Kohli among Indians after the former RCB captain had equalled him earlier in …

LSG vs CSK: MS Dhoni becomes oldest Man of the Match in IPL history but asks ‘why are you giving me the award?’ | Ipl News

In his second match back as Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni rolled back the years on the field as a tactician and wicket-keeper before putting the finishing touches with the bat against Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on Monday. Chasing a 167-run total, Dhoni walked out at No. 7 with 56 required in five overs. Partnering Shivam Dube, Dhoni sped to 26 off 11 deliveries with a string of fours and a one-handed six off Avesh Khan, taking away the limelight. A five-wicket win helped CSK erase their winless streak of five games, securing their second victory of the season after their first outing in Chennai against the Mumbai Indians. However, it came as a surprise when the organisers decided to hand the Player of the Match award to the 43-year-old CSK talisman. Dhoni thereby became the oldest man to receive the Man of the Match award in IPL history, surpassing former Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Pravin Tambe.

MS Dhoni, Shivam Dube get Chennai over line vs Lucknow with crucial late partnership to earn long-awaited win

Published by Webster

SYNOPSIS: On a Lucknow pitch that played to their liking, after their bowlers restrict hosts to 166, Chennai Super Kings overhaul the target in the final over to get back to winning ways. As Shivam Dube hit the winning boundary off the third ball of the final over, there was a collective sigh of relief in the Chennai Super Kings dugout. Having gone through five successive losses, they began on a good note before undoing all the hard work they did in the middle-overs with the bat. However, Dube in the company of MS Dhoni, whose 11-ball 26 came at a critical juncture in the end, provided Chennai the result they desperately sought. Flying under the radar In midst of their horrid performances so far, two of their bowlers’ impact has largely gone unnoticed. While Noor Ahmad’s mastery has relatively gained more traction, the left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed’s story is different. The tall seamer, who can generate movement, has been the most successful pacer in the powerplay overs this season. Story continues below this ad …
