IPL 2023: Here's a look at the updated points table after Chennai Super Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk to get off the mark in the ongoing edition -
On Monday (April 03), the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 12 runs in match 06 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition. After a loss in the season-opener, against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), CSK returned to Chepauk after 1,426 days -- following IPL 2019 -- and marked a memorable comeback at their fortress to beat Lucknow in a high-scoring encounter at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Opting to bowl first, KL Rahul & Co. were off to a poor start as Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) and Devon Conway (47) stitched a whirlwind 110-run opening stand. Cameos from Shivam Dube (16-ball 27), Moeen Ali (13-ball 19), Ambati Rayudu (14-ball 27 not out) and MS Dhoni (3-ball 12) led CSK to a mammoth 217 for 7. Dhoni also completed 5,000 runs in the tournament with his blistering sixes. In reply, LSG were 73 for no loss in five overs before Moeen Ali (4 for 26) and Mitchell Santner (1 for 21) brought the Yellow Army back into the contest.
Kyle Mayers (22-ball 53) led the charge early in the run-chase but Lucknow fell flat after his dismissal despite handy knocks from Nicholas Pooran (18-ball 32) and some lusty blows from Krishnappa Gowtham and Mark Wood. Eventually, Lucknow managfed 205 for 7 to lose by a dozen runs.
