Chennai Super Kings’ uncapped batter Urvil Patel played out a fantastic knock to help his side reach closer to the target of 204 against the Lucknow Super Giants in match number 53 of the Indian Premier League 2026 season, here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This is a crucial encounter for CSK, who are eyeing a spot in the play-offs despite a poor start to their season.

LSG posted a formidable 203/8 after being put in to bat by CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. The highlight was a breathtaking assault by their Australian recruit Josh Inglis, who smashed 85 off just 33 balls (10 fours, 6 sixes), helping his side to a blistering powerplay where they scored at over 15 runs per over.

However, CSK clawed back through Jamie Overton, who triggered a massive collapse, finishing with figures of 3/36. From 112/2, LSG stumbled to 147/6 as the middle order, including Rishabh Pant (15), failed to capitalize. A late cameo from Shahbaz Ahmed (43 off 25) ensured LSG crossed the 200-mark.

When CSK came into bat, openers Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad got out after a 45-run 1st wicket stand. Samson got out for a score of 28 off 14 while Gaikwad departed after a knock of 42 off 28. But that’s when Chennai’s uncapped batter Urvil Patel started the storm.
