IPL 2026: Urvils Blitzkrieg Helps CSK Get Third Straight Win After Beating LSG By Five Wickets
Chennai Super Kings: Urvil Patel hammered a breath-taking 65, including hitting the joint fastest fifty in Indian Premier League (IPL) history in just 13 balls, as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by five wickets to notch their third successive win in Indian Premier League 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. It was also the first time since 2019 that CSK successfully chased a target in excess of 180, as they moved to fifth spot in the IPL 2026 points table and pushed LSG towards elimination from the competition. Inserted into batting first, LSG rode on Josh Ingliss blistering 85 to pile up 91 runs in the powerplay before CSK bowlers, led by Jamie Overtons 3-36, pulled things back to restrict them to 203/8. In reply, CSKs chase began briskly with Sanju Samson and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad adding quick runs at the top. But once Samson fell to Digvesh Rathi, Urvil turned the contest on its head with a ferocious ball-striking assault to get his fifty in 13 balls, as CSK stormed to 97 in their own powerplay. By hitting the fastest fifty hit by a CSK batter, also his maiden IPL half-century, Urvil also equalled Yashasvi Jaiswals record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, coming in the 2023 season, and eventually finished with 65 off 23 balls, including eight sixes and two fours, coming at a strike-rate of 282.61. By the time Urvil departed, the rest of CSKs chase was seemingly straightforward. But LSG clawed back through Shahbaz Ahmeds double strike and Rathis dismissal of Dewald Brevis. By the time Avesh Khan removed Kartik Sharma, LSG tightened the equation and raised hopes of a turnaround. But Prashant Veer (18 not out) and Shivam Dube (15 not out) hung around to complete the chase with four balls to spare, including the latter hitting consecutive sixes. It also helped that LSGs fielding let them down, as two catches of Veer were spilled under pressure by Rathi and Nicholas Pooran. CSKs uphill chase began with intent as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson hit eight boundaries collectively in 3.3 overs. But Rathi had Samson dismissed when he tried to pull off a quicker delivery, and was left to see his stumps being castled. His fall brought Urvil to the crease, and for the next few minutes, 32,000 odd fans at Chepauk were left spellbound. Walking in after Samsons dismissal, Urvil tore into the LSG attack with his quick pick-up of lengths and timing his maximums with impeccable power. Urvil quickly launched Avesh Khan for three sixes in the fifth over, before smacking Rathi for three maximums and a four. The highlight of his stay at the crease came when Urvil launched Mohammed Shami for his seventh maximum over long-on to be at 48 off 11 balls. Though he managed only a single on the next ball, Urvil reached his first IPL fifty in just 13 balls, with chants of Urvil! Urvil! reverberating in the electrified stands. In a touching gesture, Urvil pulled out a note from his pocket that read, This is for you, Dad, along with some lines in Gujarati, even as the CSK dugout was full of joy. Urvils explosive start also helped CSK reclaim the record for the highest powerplay score at Chepauk via 97/1, surpassing LSGs 91 earlier in the day. Though Urvils blitzkrieg was brought to an end by a slower delivery from Shahbaz Ahmed in the tenth over, he had set the tone for a memorable evening for CSK at Chepauk. But after that, LSG fought back through the middle overs, with Shahbaz and Digvesh striking crucial blows to remove Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis. Kartik Sharma chipped in with 20 before Avesh dismissed him, leaving CSK at 169/5 in the 17th over. With the equation tightening, nervousness was felt in Chepauk, but Veer brought the nerves down by flicking Prince Yadav for six, before hitting another maximum off Avesh, apart from being dropped twice on nine. With 10 needed off the final over, Aiden Markram was handed the ball, and after two wides, Dube finished the job in style by smashing back-to-back sixes to seal victory and strengthen CSKs hopes of entering the playoffs. But after that, LSG fought back through the middle overs, with Shahbaz and Digvesh striking crucial blows to remove Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis. Kartik Sharma chipped in with 20 before Avesh dismissed him, leaving CSK at 169/5 in the 17th over.

IPL 2026: CSKs Urvil Patel Lights Up Chepauk With Joint Fastest Fifty In Tournaments History
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings top-order batter Urvil Patel produced a breathtaking display of power-hitting by smashing a half-century off just 13 balls to equal the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history during the ongoing clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. Through his knock of 65 off 23 balls, laced with two fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 282.6, Urvil matched Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had achieved the milestone in 13 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 season. The right-hander was unstoppable from the outset and sent the Chepauk crowd into a frenzy, as he also set a new record for the fastest fifty ever hit by a CSK batter in the IPL. Urvil has also become the first batter in IPLs history to smash six sixes within the first eight balls of an innings. Coming in to bat after Sanju Samsons dismissal, Urvil quickly launched Avesh Khan for three sixes in the fifth over, before smacking Digvesh Rathi for three maximums and a four. The highlight of his stay at the crease came when Patel, on 48 off 11 balls, launched Mohammed Shami for his seventh maximum highlighting that most of his big hits came on the back of picking the length of bad deliveries early, ferocious bat speed, and sheer power. Urvil has also become the first batter in IPLs history to smash six sixes within the first eight balls of an innings.

IPL 2026: Purple Cap Holder Anshul Kamboj Backs CSK To Chase 204 Against LSG
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings pacer and Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 Purple Cap holder Anshul Kamboj expressed confidence in his sides ability to chase down Lucknow Super Giants total of 203, describing the pitch at Chepauk as slightly slow but with good bounce. Its quite a good wicket. Its a slightly slow wicket, but the bounce is good, and the ball is coming on nicely, so we can chase this. It definitely feels like it will play similarly throughout the innings. It wont become much slower because the bounce is good, so there should not be too much difficulty. I think this score is chaseable, Kamboj said to broadcasters at the innings break. LSG had raced away in the Power-play courtesy Josh Ingliss explosive 85 off 33 balls, but CSKs bowlers pulled things back in the middle overs. Noor Ahmad (1-24) and Jamie Overton (3-36) applied the brakes, while Kamboj, despite being expensive, took out Mitchell Marsh and Himmat Singh to take his IPL 2026 wickets tally to 19 scalps in 11 games at an average of 19.21 and an economy rate of 9.20. Reflecting on the turnaround by CSK bowlers in the middle overs, Kamboj said, Yes, it was a good comeback. When you go for runs in the first five overs, then maintaining control in the remaining phases and coming back well is important.

IPL 2026: Inglis Makes 85 As LSG Reach 203/8 Despite A Fightback From CSK Bowlers
Lucknow Super Giants: Josh Inglis smashed a blistering 85 off just 33 balls to power Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to 203/8 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. The Australian wicketkeeper-batter dominated the Power-play with a flurry of strokes, leading to ten fours and six maximums coming off his blade, and ensured LSG made the most of the fielding restrictions in the power-play, where they amassed 91 runs their highest score in the six-over phase in this season. But LSGs momentum dipped once the field spread, as CSKs bowlers clawed their way back. Noor Ahmad picked 1-24, while Jamie Overtons 3-36 further kept the scoring rate in check. Despite the slowdown in the middle overs, Shahbaz Ahmeds late cameo of 43 not out off 25 balls, capped by a six off the final delivery, lifted LSG past the 200-run mark. With a solid total on board, LSG have set themselves up for a strong chance to dictate terms in the second half of the game. Pushed into batting first on the red soil pitch, Inglis set the tone from the opening over, as he lofted, swept, and hammered Akeal Hosein for two fours and a six. Inglis continued to smash boundaries at will, with reverse scoops and pulls being the standout. Though Mitchell Marsh fell cheaply to Anshul Kamboj, Inglis raced to a 17-ball half-century and gave LSG their highest powerplay score of the season. After Noor had Nicholas Pooran slog-sweeping to deep mid-wicket, Inglis eventually fell for 85 off 33 balls, caught by Sanju Samson while trying to paddle off Overton, who had Rishabh Pant chopping onto his stumps in the same over. Aiden Markrams run-out added to LSGs slide, and Akshat Raghuwanshis departure off Overton further dented their momentum. From 91/1, LSG slipped to 154/6, but Shahbaz and Himmat Singh steadied the innings. Shahbaz, in particular, counter-attacked with inventive strokes, striking boundaries off Overton and Mukesh Choudhary. Though Kamboj castled Himmat to bring the 50-run stand to an end and Mohammed Shami was run out for a duck, Shahbaz launched the last ball of the innings over long-on for six to take LSG past 200.

IPL 2026: CSK Peaking At The Perfect Time, Says Assistant Bowling Coach Sriram
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) assistant bowling coach Sridharan Sriram said the side is now peaking at the perfect time in IPL 2026, adding that the relaxed atmosphere in the camp remains unchanged regardless of results. A win for CSK, ranked sixth in points table with ten points, over Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday afternoon will help them strengthen their chances of entering the playoffs. I think the last few days in the IPL have taught us that winning and losing are just parts of the game. CSK's speciality is that regardless of the result, the team atmosphere and environment remain the same. We stay relaxed, but continue to work hard. We have learned a lot. The season started a bit slowly for us, but weve picked up momentum since then. As we head into the latter part of the tournament, I feel we are heading in the right direction. We are hitting our peak at the perfect time, Sriram said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Acknowledging the challenges posed by every opponent in the ten-team competition, Sriram added, Every team in the IPL is a challenge; they all bring their own unique threats. We have to be ready for every game and stay fully prepared. He (captain Ruturaj Gaikwad) has learned and improved immensely. You can see a significant difference between his approach in the first game compared to now. Hes getting better with every match, and the more time he spends in the role, the better he will become.

IPL 2026: Win Over RCB Really Boosted Morale In The LSG Dressing Room, Says Markram
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants batter Aiden Markram said the morale in the camp has received a timely lift after their nine-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, adding that hopes are high of them backing this up with another win over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. Everything is going well. Were just cracking on; you eventually find that rhythm and routine. It was great to get a win the other evening - it really boosted morale in the dressing room. Hopefully, we can back that up with another strong performance today, Markram said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Markram, who captains South Africa in T20Is, highlighted the demands of batting in different positions, as hes moved between opening and batting in the middle order for bottom-placed LSG in the ongoing season. I think it depends on your specific role. My goal is to maximize scoring and understand my position in the middle. In this format, the requirements can change from ball to ball or over to over, and you have to be aware of that. If youre in the middle order, you have to be quite fluid to ensure you complete the job for the team. The tricky thing is that shots that work at the top can often get you caught in the middle overs. Personally, I try to look for more space toward the back end of my innings and find unique ways to find gaps through the middle, he added. Markram stressed the importance of flexibility in approach when batting at different positions in the shortest format. Everyones approach is a bit different - some guys like to stay in the crease and find gaps, others like to use their feet. For me, it's about hitting those pockets and running hard.

The wicket was under covers and there was rain around. The pitch does behave differently in day games, but we need to adapt well and then restrict them to a low score.

'Dhoni Wont Risk Disrupting CSKs Winning Combination Against LSG': Kumble
Chennai Super Kings: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni may not feature for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) despite working hard to regain full match fitness, as the five-time champions would not want to disturb a successful combination. Speaking ahead of the IPL clash, Kumble said CSK is a side that strongly believes in continuity and rarely changes a winning XI. CSK are the kind of side that dont like their winning streak to end. They dont tinker much with their winning combination, and they believe in backing their players, Kumble told Jio Hotstar. The former India spinner revealed that Dhoni has been putting in extra effort behind the scenes, including spending significant time batting and wicketkeeping during practice sessions. Now, MS Dhoni has been batting a lot in the nets. He has even been practicing wicketkeeping in net sessions, which is very surprising because he is someone who never keeps wickets in the nets. He is doing that and trying his best to return to full match fitness, he added. However, Kumble feels the five-time IPL-winning captain may still choose not to return immediately if it risks affectin the balance and rhythm of the side. But even if he manages to regain the required fitness levels, I feel he will not want to come into the playing XI because CSK are doing well. He will not take the chance of disrupting the teams momentum and the player combination that has helped them win, Kumble said. However, Kumble feels the five-time IPL-winning captain may still choose not to return immediately if it risks affectin the balance and rhythm of the side.
