Stoinis’ innings was in direct contrast to the silken smooth knock of Gaikwad. Stoinis (124, 63b, 13×4, 6×6) led the Lucknow Super Giants chase to end up scoring at 213/4. Gaikwad (108, 60b, 12×4, 3×6) and Shivam Dube (66, 27b, 3×4, 7×6) had added 104 runs for the fourth-wicket stand to power the Chennai Super Kings to a competitive 210/4.
With the win, Lucknow handed Chennai their first home defeat of the season. This is also the highest successful chase at this venue. Thus, LSG also scored a rare back-to-back home and away win over Chennai as they had won the match at Ekana Stadium a few days back.
Stoinis remained unbeaten 124 off 63 balls with 13 fours and six sixes which is the highest individual score in IPL in a run-chase.

Gaikwad’s knock, his second IPL hundred, was studded with 12 fours and three sixes. Shivam Dube muscled his way to a 27-ball-66, hitting seven sixes. For LSG, Matt Henry took one wicket for 28 runs.
