Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings have locked horns with each other in the 7th match of the ongoing tournament on 31st March, Thursday. Having a look at the match, the skipper of Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and asked the opposition to bat.
Batting first, the Ravindra Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings posted a huge total of 210 runs on the board. Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube were the top scorers for the side, having scored 50 and 49 runs respectively.
Chasing the target, Lucknow Super Giants quite comfortably chased down the total with 6 wickets and 3 balls in spare. The skipper KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock gave a flying start to their innings, as they added 99 runs for the first wicket partnership.
Both of them scored 40 and 61 runs and Evin Lewis finished the match and remained unbeaten on 55 runs along with the youngster Aayush Badoni who played a quickfire of 19 runs from 9 balls.
I had to get out there and spend some time, says Quinton de Kock
After winning the match, Quinton de Kock shared a few words in the post-match presentation and said, " It was unbelievable. To winning these type of close games is always good for the team morale. Great win, boys batted really well.
We came out fighting and to come out on top is always special. We thought we can chase down 210. We understood after the first two or three overs that it was a really good wicket.
I'd say it was a par score on this wicket actually. It was nice to get out there and just bat, I wasn't in too much rush," Quinton de Kock was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
"Evin played a hell of a knock tonight which was unbelievable and so did the youngster. It was great for everyone. It was nervy, chasing 210 is always going to be a close game but the boys were quite calm.
It was mixed emotions between everyone. I was pretty calm myself, we knew what was going on out there. But still to get it done actually is still a hell of a job done," he added.
After that, KL Rahul, Gautam Gambhir and their teammates were caught singing a victory song in a video posted by Lucknow Super Giants on their official Instagram handle.
