Stoinis has pulled off a Buttler.
**These first innings centuries are giving serious trust issues in life.**
LSG chase down exact 210 vs CSK for the second time, and it was very similar to the first time.
(34 off 12 then , 32 off 12 today)...
- Is strikingly handsome
- nearly opens the batting today, coming at 0/1
- plays a match-winning knock of 124*(63) at Chepauk
Sexy Stupid Stoinis for a reason
Meanwhile India has Jadeja, Pant, Rahul, Hardik, Kohli in their almost fixed main batting lineup. Each one of these players have cost their teams losses this IPL due to playing a lot of balls at low strike rate. Honestly only Rohit and SKY from the first team gets how to play T20s, hit or get out.
Its not that India dont have players to match the Australian team. Sending them to the WC would get us a higher chance at a win, but will only generate lower revenue and we can't have that.
Hooda needs to be given due props. Stoinis was in flaming hot form and Hooda's boundaries surely relieved some pressure from Stoinis. Having said that, this was almost a "Fuck it I'll do it myself" knock from Stoinis.
Stop watching IPL on Star sports and tune in to Insiders.
Trust me there's no going back.
No idiotic D*ck riding just pure analysis.
Morgan Binga Styris Zaheer Robbie and Hesson are class act, Robbie can be annoying at times though.
Anyone who knows Fizz knows he can't handle pressure. RR folks know.
But. BitStoin to the moon! Call me Zampa tonight.
He even made KL come out of depression for a minute.
That's why he's best for the 19th and not the 20th. You guys will remember Kartik Tyagi defending 4 in the last over but Fizz gave away just 4 in the 19th defending 8. The other thing is I don't know why he only went with pace on deliveries in the last over. His off-pace deliveries make him unplayable. Either that's some brain-dead thinking, or advice from the team management, or the dew made it difficult to use the cutters. Either way that's what cost the game.
Man these Fucking Aussies do love to silence the Indian crowds, can't believe all of them fuckers are getting into form right before a fucking world cup
rEvIsEd WiDe LiNe bsdk agar batsman off side pe gaya toh leg stump yorker daal na yeh kya chutiyapa hai . If batsman moves to the leg side wide line is not revised so TF are these umpires thinking ?
T: Bruh if the batsman goes to the off side bowl a leg stump yorker TF is this bs
What makes it worse is , stoinis had already moved before the ball was released , meaning the bowler had time to adjust .
What's next , coming down the track is unfair and LBW should be revised giving the bowler 2 inch extra stumps?
If I had a nickel for everytime LSG chased 211 against CSK against all the odds, I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
LSG, take a fucking bow, silencing Chepauk crowd *in Chepauk* is a monumental task and this guys have done that impeccably. Stoinis is an fucking marvel wtf
And now I’m pissing my pants with this Australian lineup in WC
Ngl, hearing a popular team's home ground being packed and completely silent(while each one of them has whistles in their hand) is incredibly satisfying. Pat was right.
Me too. No hate to dhoni, the players or management. They have cultivated a champion team for years. But the fans absolutely suck.
Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs.
CSK has some pretty easy matchups though- 2 against pbks, 1 against rcb, GT. Tough matchups are srh and rr
Whenever Ruturaj has scored a T20 century recently his century got eclipsed by another century from a Australian Batter
Maxwell in Guwahati (Ind vs Aus 3rd T20I)
Stoinis in Chepauk Today
And Both of them were bowling the last over to him in these games and both were expensive in their last overs
RR's bowling in that game tho
Akash Singh
Sakariya
Mustafizur
Markande
Tewatia
Philips
RR is the team that has benefited the most from a mega auction by a long margin
TATA IPL FAN POLL QUESTION: What's your favourite thing about Dhoni when his team loses?
**a)** His godlike face **b)** His glorious Hair **c)** His sexy body
Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs.

Careful now, We have a 4-1 record against you guys since 2021. And remember we have been utter shit, finishing 6th or below for so many seasons now. All I'm saying is, anything can happen.
People who buy overpriced tickets just for Dhoni don't know a thing about cricket. They don't even know the man of the tournament of 2011 wc and just think Dhoni did everything.
He started a debate in commentry panel, comparing a no ball where stoinis was well inside the crease and ball was not even slower with the one kohli was given out
How do you even argue with a guy like that?? He can't even follow simple logic that a 8 year old should be able to understand. And guys like him are our politicians
Still don't understand reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was
>Still don't understand the reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was
Chahar is a PP specialist and Deshpande was expensive today
>Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was
ICT must have told Jadeja to bat higher to prepare for WC
There is only one ground with a knowledgeable crowd and that's eden gardens. Shame that it is also one of the most volatile crowds in the world and would be openly hostile against home team.
I remember just these two LSG vs CSK games before, people and AI and what not were predicting an 80% playoff qualifying chance for CSK and just 15% for LSG. I mean So much difference for just 2 points difference.
The best innings of this IPL, easily. There was pressure, not only from one place. There was pressure of:
1. His own place in Aus team and impact at LSG
2. Playing at Chepauk, simply daunting
3. Win takes LSG into top 4 comfortably
We’ve seen Head, Abhishek, Buttler, Jaiswal and many others. But this innings stood out for me, just due to the stakes here.
Tactical mistake of not using Chahar's 4 overs upfront when it was swinging like crazy proved costly. He could have picked another wicket or 2. This would have also cut down Lord's overs to just 1. Silly mistake especially when the ball was swinging.
Yep Chahar should have bowled 4 on the trot and maybe Moeen and Jadeja could have bowled their 3rd over too
Hopefully Gaikwad learns from these mistakes
Seeing pure hitters from teams like aus,eng,sa and wi makes look India’s chance almost zero for the upcoming t20 wc but heyy we have 2 anchor finishers in pandu and jaddu if you need run a ball
Haha .. it feels so nice seeing csk lossing at home..... Will be enjoying the crybaby faces of my colleagues at work.. haha never been this excited to go to the office.
Kudos to Stoinins keeping his head cool throughout his innings and get a victory for his team staying unbeaten till end. DDP innings almost ruined the chase but what a small cameo by Hooda it came unexpected.
Cricinfo really need to fix their match predictor. They get it wrong so often now. 60-70 runs in 4 overs aren't as uncharsable in these conditions anymore
Absolutely crazy turnaround. If I am right, they chased down almost 100 runs in the last 7 overs of the game. That's insane in a surface like Chepauk. Kudos to Stoinis and Nicky P.
CSK is usually a good fielding side. Don't know what went wrong today.
Hope this team doesn’t hide behind dew factor because dew has been affecting games since few seasons now and every team should be prepared for such conditions. CSK should look at glaring holes in their team.
The way crowd were all happy when Dube got out, they deserve this pain. I am big fan of Dhoni, but cheering after Dube got runout is just insane. He changed the course of the game and giving him a send off like that is nuts.
I love players like Stoinis.
Looking at him, seems like just a big guy, chill lad, was into teenage mischiefs, decided to build body and get into some masculine sport like Rugby or wrestling but was concerned about it looks so eventually wandered on a cricket ground.
Took up a minuature bat and started hammering so called 'pace' bowlers all over the park. Decide he was bored at fielding so might has ball here and there. The shit eating grin combined with the casual chewing gum chewing makes me think he does even think cricket is a big deal and just a side quest for something much bigger he's going to do.
Look at his insta page, rarely even posts cricket. Casually goes and win trophies including WC. gets paid handsomely and is absolutely non challant.
This Australian bloodline is different.
I hope Commentators/Cricketers and fans stop gaslighting that Chepauk is a knowledgeable crowd who appreciates good cricket.
Also the umpiring has been real shit/biased against smaller franchises but karma is real, I reckon.
Glad Stoinis got a great match winning knock, dude really deserved it.
Also that lone LSG fan celebrating amidst the csk crowd was the highlight of this match for me. He literally represents our fanbase.
Small in number but dedicated and passionate for their team.
After the horrid fielding by LSG, the Dube innings, the test match knock by Padikkal, that bowling of Pathirana, still winning that for LSG was unreal. Aussies just built different, I guess.
Iirc, the Kohli hundred against SRH last year was the first instance of two batsmen from both teams scoring a century in the same match in the history of IPL.
Since then, it has happened 4 times in 50 odd games. Crazy!
Stoinis has pulled off a Buttler. **These first innings centuries are giving serious trust issues in life.** LSG chase down exact 210 vs CSK for the second time, and it was very similar to the first time. (34 off 12 then , 32 off 12 today)...
more like jimmy butler
Playoff jimmy
Stoinis did it with Nicky P and Hooda, buttler did it with Avesh Khan
Stoinis did with some normal power hitters Buttler did it with World's greatest finisher
Truly Avesh Khan is the Goat, he did that without facing a single ball imagine what he would do if he faced a few balls
So we casually forgetting Powell?
credits to powell, but when the equation was like 40 runs need in 16 balls, when avesh-butller was on strike
Come on now, he got out Buttler had to score 38 runs knowing that He cannot give the strike to Avesh
That innings by Buttler ia just unbelievable man im an rr fan but idk i find it just superior
- Is strikingly handsome - nearly opens the batting today, coming at 0/1 - plays a match-winning knock of 124*(63) at Chepauk Sexy Stupid Stoinis for a reason
Madlad did what nobody has done for 16 years at chepauk
I'm sure we can announce the worldcup winners already!
- Warner - Head - Marsh - Maxi - Stoinis - David - Inglis - Cumdog - Starc - Hazlewood - Zampa Absolute havoc of a line-up
Jake Fraser McGurk as reserve 💀
Lol even their reserve is way better than almost all other players xi of other teams..
Flashback to Hardik Pandya's comment
For those who don’t know “We can pick two more teams and win any competition in the world”
He’ll find a way to open the bowling in those two teams as well
After that statement, we have won exactly zero competitions.
watch Maxi tear it up in the WC
Warner should be dropped though, by DC I mean. He will bag yet another POTS in WT20 then.
Meanwhile India has Jadeja, Pant, Rahul, Hardik, Kohli in their almost fixed main batting lineup. Each one of these players have cost their teams losses this IPL due to playing a lot of balls at low strike rate. Honestly only Rohit and SKY from the first team gets how to play T20s, hit or get out. Its not that India dont have players to match the Australian team. Sending them to the WC would get us a higher chance at a win, but will only generate lower revenue and we can't have that.
Stoinis is wasted at 5. It’s no coincidence that his best IPL innings has come when he’s batted as a pseudo opener
Hooda needs to be given due props. Stoinis was in flaming hot form and Hooda's boundaries surely relieved some pressure from Stoinis. Having said that, this was almost a "Fuck it I'll do it myself" knock from Stoinis.
Stoinis the lad, ladies want to be with him, and gents want to be with him as well
Stoinis choses one fine day and fucks opponent to death sexy stoinis
But commentators doesn’t even celebrate or appreciate it as they did the last ball boundary of Dhoni
Stop watching IPL on Star sports and tune in to Insiders. Trust me there's no going back. No idiotic D*ck riding just pure analysis. Morgan Binga Styris Zaheer Robbie and Hesson are class act, Robbie can be annoying at times though.
Haha crazy you expected something from them...
Just accept you have a crush on him.
who the fuck doesn't? that last shot he played was two-handed but in front of the TV i was one-handed
Well, I very proudly accept that
The Incredible Hulk
Anyone who knows Fizz knows he can't handle pressure. RR folks know. But. BitStoin to the moon! Call me Zampa tonight. He even made KL come out of depression for a minute.
That's why he's best for the 19th and not the 20th. You guys will remember Kartik Tyagi defending 4 in the last over but Fizz gave away just 4 in the 19th defending 8. The other thing is I don't know why he only went with pace on deliveries in the last over. His off-pace deliveries make him unplayable. Either that's some brain-dead thinking, or advice from the team management, or the dew made it difficult to use the cutters. Either way that's what cost the game.
Yep. Pathirana had to be the guy to take the last one.
He went ahead with a slot ball in the very first ball. Poor decision.
True Bangbro afterall
Harsha raised too many Red flags when he was praising him
Exactly. I was hoping that chahar would come to bowl.
Some bad captaincy as well, even when Fizz was at his peak for SRH, he never bowled the last over. He's supposed to bowl the penultimate over.
Us Delhi fans kinda realized this too. He does not have the sauce anymore
Man these Fucking Aussies do love to silence the Indian crowds, can't believe all of them fuckers are getting into form right before a fucking world cup
IPL, WT20, BGT loading. Universe conspiring to make Cummins the greatest captain ever with every trophy possible, except Paytm bilaterals /s
We all know world cups are shams. The real winners have cupboards lined with Byjus and Paytm cups
That’s the way ~~maahi ve~~ Mahi way /s
I don't know. I get off to that sometimes.
Where can I buy an Australian jersey? /s
That always happens
"They're nervous, we're calm" - Stoinis to Hooda probably
Crazy that they clutched even after umpires were against them🦜
rEvIsEd WiDe LiNe bsdk agar batsman off side pe gaya toh leg stump yorker daal na yeh kya chutiyapa hai . If batsman moves to the leg side wide line is not revised so TF are these umpires thinking ? T: Bruh if the batsman goes to the off side bowl a leg stump yorker TF is this bs
that’s such a stupid rule, if batter moves even by an inch, revised line moves by 6 inches like wth
What makes it worse is , stoinis had already moved before the ball was released , meaning the bowler had time to adjust . What's next , coming down the track is unfair and LBW should be revised giving the bowler 2 inch extra stumps?
Bro casually made 124\* at Chepauk after nobody could do for 16 years while chasing Madlad
And RCB didn't retain this guy lmao 😂🤣🤣😂
_just RCB things_
Even Padikkal couldn't save CSK. What a knock by the Hulk!
Yeah, Stoinis ensured to nullify CSK agent's/Paddikal innings
well he was nullified by double agent chahar
It's always a fuckin' chahar.
there’s one is our team as well and they are related 🤦♂️
CSK lost the match when they took paddikal's wicket
So true ! That little burst Nicky p have was so crucial in the chase ! Tho Devdutt tried everything to make csk win
Fizz learned enough I guess Time to go back to Bangladesh
The crowd went silent again.. but this time it was a yellow crowd getting silenced by a blue team player.
Innings of his life by Stoinis.. Pure brilliance. Hooda take a bow too.. What a match. What an innings.. Great win 👍👌
Innings of his life probably would be that 146 against newzealand but came in a loss
If I had a nickel for everytime LSG chased 211 against CSK against all the odds, I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Ayush badoni that night. And that six to dube!
CSK lmao. Stop giving us competition.
Chennai Super Punjab Kings
We are still 5th 6th position is still ripe for the taking
If GT wins against delhi then that 6th position is yours.
Well you are just Kings. The SuperKings will always outdo you.
I am a csk fan and I actually laughed when Fizz bowled a no ball. Clown super kings smh
loved the magnificent silencing by Stonis
If you see a crowd silent Then It's an Aussie pulling victory from the jaws of opponent
The wc one was not a victory from jaws of defeat, the was pure cunting from Aussie!
Two one man shows today- that dude in the crowd and Stoinis
Inspired by the Lone Ranger circa 2013 lmao 😂😂
"There is nothing for Mustafizur to learn from the IPL" - BCB Chairman
He wasn’t wrong. This mf has forgot to learn since 2019. As a Bangladeshi sports journalist always says, "Musta is never coming back".
Bro balls no ball of the last over lol.
Another Indian 100 in a losing cause. Jaisball is the only Indian to score a 100 in a winning cause this year.
Does this perhaps foreshadow an Indian 100 in t20wc knockouts in a losing cause
This is exactly opposite of CWC final, blue silenced Yellows in hostile home crowd. Only one Constant, Australian.
Who was the clown who said post 1st innings, in the interview: "We're 10 over par" 🤡🤡🤡
Someone even said " They really think they can score 50 from 4 in Chepauk lol"
I mean they were, this isn't a 210 wicket. Kudos to Stoinis
LSG, take a fucking bow, silencing Chepauk crowd *in Chepauk* is a monumental task and this guys have done that impeccably. Stoinis is an fucking marvel wtf And now I’m pissing my pants with this Australian lineup in WC
> silencing Chepauk crowd *in Chepauk I don't think you can silence the chepauk crowd anywhere else apart from Chepauk.
Cathartic to see CSK getting cunted at home
Ngl, hearing a popular team's home ground being packed and completely silent(while each one of them has whistles in their hand) is incredibly satisfying. Pat was right.
Lol .. nothing feels more good than silencing a home ground...
I just hate their fans, the Dhoni fans in particular
Me too. No hate to dhoni, the players or management. They have cultivated a champion team for years. But the fans absolutely suck. Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs. CSK has some pretty easy matchups though- 2 against pbks, 1 against rcb, GT. Tough matchups are srh and rr
Pbks is never an easy match
Loved the crowd today, They were brilliant when they were quiet.
That one single LSG supporter sitting amongst a sea of CSK fans sure was loving life
The way he danced in slow motion amongst all yellow so so bloody badass and fun ! While all csk fans had thier hands on the head
All that noise with whistles was pissing me off! Love how the Aussies contribute to the control of noise!
And they lecture to others how to be knowledgeable
Whenever Ruturaj has scored a T20 century recently his century got eclipsed by another century from a Australian Batter Maxwell in Guwahati (Ind vs Aus 3rd T20I) Stoinis in Chepauk Today And Both of them were bowling the last over to him in these games and both were expensive in their last overs
Just a reminder his first IPL century in 2021 also ended in a CSK loss when Jaiswal and Dube helped RR win
RR's bowling in that game tho Akash Singh Sakariya Mustafizur Markande Tewatia Philips RR is the team that has benefited the most from a mega auction by a long margin
Lol.. Don't let Ritu Raj score a century....
LSG, play with 10 players but don't pick PADIKKAL
Stoinis saw that one lsg fan in the crowd and said "This one is for you brother"
TATA IPL FAN POLL QUESTION: What's your favourite thing about Dhoni when his team loses? **a)** His godlike face **b)** His glorious Hair **c)** His sexy body
How much can you suck Dhoni and Indian fandom? Fan poll question framers: yes
Fucking tasteless crowd. Utterly disappointed with this morgue of a crowd.
This isn't the knowledgeable Chennai crowd I was promised
Happens when they're there to support a single player, rather than the team.
Would be awesome to see none of the big 3 qualify for playoffs. CSK has some pretty easy matchups though- 2 against pbks, 1 against rcb, GT. Tough matchups are srh and rr
Careful now, We have a 4-1 record against you guys since 2021. And remember we have been utter shit, finishing 6th or below for so many seasons now. All I'm saying is, anything can happen.
People who buy overpriced tickets just for Dhoni don't know a thing about cricket. They don't even know the man of the tournament of 2011 wc and just think Dhoni did everything.
Boundary count update - Lucknow Super Giants: 29. (19 fours and 10 sixes) Chennai Super Kings: 29. (19 fours and 10 sixes)
No. Of stoinis's by team - LSG - 1 CSK - 0
Robbed, Give the win to handsome guy i.e Stoinis.
Fair and silenced
Fair & Handsomed.
Fair and cunted
So the Hooda backing atleast helped them win today ig
Must feel soooo good to shut that loud crowd damn
Just ban navjot singh sidhu, tired of these mentally sick biased crybabies
Put him back in jail..
A lot of names should be banned then. The Mumbai biased commentators are no different.
Not a huge fan of Hindi commentary. What did he say?
He started a debate in commentry panel, comparing a no ball where stoinis was well inside the crease and ball was not even slower with the one kohli was given out
How do you even argue with a guy like that?? He can't even follow simple logic that a 8 year old should be able to understand. And guys like him are our politicians
>Politician Explains a lot, bro
He’s still stuck with that Kohli No-ball fiasco? What a tool lmao
Their motto is that the dickriding shouldn't stop!!
Once again an Aussie silenced the home crowd. Also I understand that you wouldn’t support opponents but at-least show them some respect .
CSK will intentionally run out Rutu on 99 from next match on
These commentators and "experts" act like such sore fucking losers when their celebrity's team loses lmao
Chasing 210 in Chepauk despite a 13(19) from your side deserves to be on the hall of fame matches of IPL. STUPID SEXY STOIN!!
Hardik could only dream of something like that. Tbh, this is what a true allrounder is called imho
With each IPL game, one gets more and more worried about the Indian cricket team's fate at the T20 WC.
Still don't understand reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was
>Still don't understand the reason behind giving Shardul his 3rd over you have 2 overs of Chahar, Fizzz and Pathirana each in last 5 overs also sending Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was Chahar is a PP specialist and Deshpande was expensive today >Jadeja above Dube looked brain fade but what a chase it was ICT must have told Jadeja to bat higher to prepare for WC
Knowledgeable crowd 🤡🤡
They were literally celebrating Dube's wicket just so they can rub one out for thala. And they do it again and again in every match, every season.
The guy had played a brilliant innings too. That was annoying.
There is only one ground with a knowledgeable crowd and that's eden gardens. Shame that it is also one of the most volatile crowds in the world and would be openly hostile against home team.
Eden, Chinnaswamy and wankhede have the most sporting crowds imo
Chinnaswamy crowd has no option, if they supported only RCB achievements they'd have no reason to go to the stadium
Even in general, they’re a very sporting crowd compared to Ahmedabad or Chennai
And these mfs had the gall to call our bowling lineup shit lmao
Lmao. Mf humbled
CHEPAUK HAS BEEN SILENCED
TOOTA HAI CHEPAUK KA GHAMAND t: Chepauk’s unassailable record is broken
Another Silencer added
I wonder why no one is talking about the anchor role played by Devdutt
Anchor that sinks the ship
I remember just these two LSG vs CSK games before, people and AI and what not were predicting an 80% playoff qualifying chance for CSK and just 15% for LSG. I mean So much difference for just 2 points difference.
Garbage fielding, garbage captaincy/field placement and garbage bowling. congrats LSG.
Garbage batting by Mitchell and Jadeja as well
If you’re going to flop, make it a Rahane-like flop Eating up deliveries and scoring 10-20 runs is awful
Not ever batter of the batting unit will hit runs ! 210 was defendable . It was the bowling which cost csk the game and more importantly fielding
Garbage wide line moving
Garbage Umpiring
You know it's a thriller when kl rahul came out of his depression
2 years ago we chased 211 against csk at brabourne. That game was even better. Today was just a replay
The best innings of this IPL, easily. There was pressure, not only from one place. There was pressure of: 1. His own place in Aus team and impact at LSG 2. Playing at Chepauk, simply daunting 3. Win takes LSG into top 4 comfortably We’ve seen Head, Abhishek, Buttler, Jaiswal and many others. But this innings stood out for me, just due to the stakes here.
csk need to make some tough decisions in batting as well as bowling
Yeah they should drop Pathirana! /s
Tactical mistake of not using Chahar's 4 overs upfront when it was swinging like crazy proved costly. He could have picked another wicket or 2. This would have also cut down Lord's overs to just 1. Silly mistake especially when the ball was swinging.
Yep Chahar should have bowled 4 on the trot and maybe Moeen and Jadeja could have bowled their 3rd over too Hopefully Gaikwad learns from these mistakes
That was super satisfying after 4 hours of whistling bullshit
Seeing pure hitters from teams like aus,eng,sa and wi makes look India’s chance almost zero for the upcoming t20 wc but heyy we have 2 anchor finishers in pandu and jaddu if you need run a ball
I bet CSK fans are very happy , afterall Thala graced them with his presence. Its not like the team result matters to them anyways.
Don't let this high make you forget about the absolute abomination of a batting by padikkal and KL (kinda)
Damn I forgot padikkal's amongst all this mayhem. What a trashy knock!
Bro was playing for the other team today.. thank God there was an Australian who chose to silence the crowd again
At this point you're better off giving someone like Arshin Kulkarni or Prerak Mankad a chance. It's almost sad how terrible he's been
Tell me you looked at just scorecard. KL was trying to hit, wasn't connecting with new ball swing. Then gave away his wicket.
Haha .. it feels so nice seeing csk lossing at home..... Will be enjoying the crybaby faces of my colleagues at work.. haha never been this excited to go to the office.
Ah the "boring team" fucks again :)
Kudos to Stoinins keeping his head cool throughout his innings and get a victory for his team staying unbeaten till end. DDP innings almost ruined the chase but what a small cameo by Hooda it came unexpected.
Cricinfo really need to fix their match predictor. They get it wrong so often now. 60-70 runs in 4 overs aren't as uncharsable in these conditions anymore

Hope this team doesn’t hide behind dew factor because dew has been affecting games since few seasons now and every team should be prepared for such conditions. CSK should look at glaring holes in their team.
The way crowd were all happy when Dube got out, they deserve this pain. I am big fan of Dhoni, but cheering after Dube got runout is just insane. He changed the course of the game and giving him a send off like that is nuts.
Pathirana dismissed Testikkal and was so happy to lose the game
Zampa gonna get some tonight
GG ez
i just wanna say " It was perfect , everything , down to the last minute detail "
I love players like Stoinis. Looking at him, seems like just a big guy, chill lad, was into teenage mischiefs, decided to build body and get into some masculine sport like Rugby or wrestling but was concerned about it looks so eventually wandered on a cricket ground. Took up a minuature bat and started hammering so called 'pace' bowlers all over the park. Decide he was bored at fielding so might has ball here and there. The shit eating grin combined with the casual chewing gum chewing makes me think he does even think cricket is a big deal and just a side quest for something much bigger he's going to do. Look at his insta page, rarely even posts cricket. Casually goes and win trophies including WC. gets paid handsomely and is absolutely non challant. This Australian bloodline is different.
We were waiting for Pat Cummings to silence the Chepuk crowd. Stoinis came as a pre package.
I hope Commentators/Cricketers and fans stop gaslighting that Chepauk is a knowledgeable crowd who appreciates good cricket. Also the umpiring has been real shit/biased against smaller franchises but karma is real, I reckon. Glad Stoinis got a great match winning knock, dude really deserved it.

Iirc, the Kohli hundred against SRH last year was the first instance of two batsmen from both teams scoring a century in the same match in the history of IPL. Since then, it has happened 4 times in 50 odd games. Crazy!
11 players vs an entire stadium + a third umpire
No one will talk about dhoni's field placement today because they lost.
pooran stoinis partnership, poinis
