In a stunning turn of events at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) scripted history by achieving the highest-ever run chase at the iconic venue.

Facing off against the formidable Chennai Super Kings (CSK), LSG’s Marcus Stoinis played a hero’s role, orchestrating an incredible chase that left fans on the edge of their seats until the final over.

Stoinis’ remarkable innings saw him notch an unbeaten century, scoring 124 runs off just 63 balls, as LSG successfully pursued a daunting target of 211 runs set by CSK.

The nervy chase kept spectators from both camps gripped with tension, culminating in jubilation for LSG supporters and disappointment for CSK loyalists.

As CSK returned home after nearly two weeks, the Chepauk stadium was awash in a sea of yellow, with only a scattering of blue jerseys representing the visiting LSG fans.

Amidst this sea of yellow, a viral video captured the ecstatic celebration of an LSG fan, whose joyous reaction was displayed on the stadium’s big screen.

However, Stoinis showcased his batting prowess, steering LSG towards victory with a flurry of boundaries and a scintillating century. Partnering with Nicholas Pooran, Stoinis orchestrated a thrilling partnership that kept LSG’s hopes alive even as the required run rate mounted.

With 17 runs needed off the final over, Stoinis displayed nerves of steel, dispatching the CSK bowlers with a six and three consecutive boundaries to seal the emphatic victory for LSG.

Following their defeat, CSK slipped to fifth place in the league table, while LSG’s triumph further solidified their position in the ongoing tournament.
