IPL 2022, LSG vs CSK, Narrative: Evin Lewis, Quinton De Kock Shine as LSG Beat CSK with 6 Wickets

Evin Lewis, who looked to Chris Gayle for inspiration, hit the ball, or rather, belted the ball like the Jamaican legend to power the Lucknow Super Giants for a stunning win over the Chennai Super Kings. in the IPL on Thursday. Lewis scored an undefeated 23-ball 55 as LSG, from a hopeless situation, overcame an impressive 211 goal with three spare balls. Operators KL Rahul (40 years old) and Quinton de Kock (61 years old) laid the foundation with rolling stock but the increasing required running speed made this task extremely difficult for LSG.

However, Lewis had other ideas and, along with the talented Ayush Badoni, who played his part with a nineteen, made it all look pretty easy in the end.

The scenario completely changed in the blink of an eye when Lewis and Badoni beat Shivam Dube in 25 penultimate runs to bring the equation down to nine from the last six balls.

Certainly, serving Dube to hit the 19th goal will be debated for a while.

In total, Lewis hit six sixths and three sixths as LSG recorded their first win in the lucrative tournament. Badoni gets two points maximum, which turns out to be very important in the context of the final result.

Back then, foot swinger Ravi Bishnoi (2/24) did a great job with the wet ball in difficult conditions, even as Robin Uthappa turned counter-clockwise with his beautiful yet brutal attack to pushed CSK to a strong total score.

Rahul and de Kock played a flyer, punishing CSK archers for submission.

The duo are at their best at destruction, only fighting for 4 and 6 and at one point it looked like they were going to end the match in quick time.

But Dwaine Pretorius (2/31) hit his mark when he eliminated Rahul before Dwayne Bravo (1/35) designed Manish Pandey out to bring the defending champions back into the game.

Pretorius once again struck the net of compatriot de Kock as CSK continued to pressurize with good saves.

Later, Lewis teamed up with Badoni to do work for LSG.

With just the last nine games and Mukesh Choudhary bowling a few wide, Badoni beat a goal six to level the score and then take his side.

Prior to that, Uthappa had mastered 50 of 27 balls to give CSK a solid start before Dube made 49 of 30 serves, while captains Ravindra Jadeja (17 to 9) and MS Dhoni (16). eat 6), who shot two feet and six, providing the ultimate flourish.

Uthappa looked like a man on duty as he knocked Avesh Khan (2/38) to cross the line of head-to-head from the first two balls of the round.

With the ball hitting the stick nicely, he smashed it all over the park.

CSK was dealt a blow when a direct hit by Bishnoi from the backline marked the end of Ruturaj Gaikwad (1), who fell short in the third round.

But Uthappa, and new man Moeen Ali (35), continued the attack by only dealing with four-legged and six-year-olds.

The Super Giants archers had no answer for the duo as CSK raced to 73 to one at the end of Powerplay.

In total, Uthappa hit eight fours and one max, while Moeen hit four and two six-pointers in his 22-ball time.

Once again, Bishnoi made the second breakthrough as he trapped Uthappa’s feet earlier with a quick serve, shortly after the hitter hit 50.

Dube caught up from where Uthappa left, breaking three boundaries from Dushmantha Chameera (0/49), who struggled with his line, in the ninth game. It was a bad day for the Sri Lankan as he kept fumbling with the ball in his own half, creating easy touches.
