CSK vs LSG Highlights, IPL 2026: Urvil Patel's fiery fifty powers CSK to five-wicket win over Lucknow
Chasing a big target of 204 runs, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson gave a blazing start by collecting 11 runs from the first over of Mohammed Shami and then 15 runs from Prince Yadav's over.
Digvesh Singh Rathi was introduced into the bowling attack in the fourth over, and Samson welcomed him with a four and a six. Rathi bowled him on the fourth delivery to get the first breakthrough for his side. Samson made 28 off 14 balls with the help of three fours and a couple of sixes.
Urvil Patel came to bat after that and got off the mark with a single. Patel hit a hat-trick of sixes in the next over of Avesh Khan.
Rathi was called to bowl again, and Patel hit him for four consecutive boundaries, including three sixes and a four.
Mohammed Shami came to bowl the next over, and Patel hit him for another six and completed his half-century with a single on the last delivery of the over.
Patel dedicated his record fifty to his father. During the celebration, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which had a note, "This is for you, Papa" written on it.
Patel joined Yashasvi Jaiswal for the record of the fastest IPL fifty in just 13 balls.
Shahbaz Ahmed got rid of Patel in the ninth over at the score of 65 runs. He played just 23 balls and hit eight sixes and a couple of fours.
Gaikwad kept holding the fort from one end, and runs kept flowing for the CSK. He departed in the 13th over after making a crucial 42 off 28 balls.
39 runs were needed in the last five overs, and Rathi bowled a crucial 16th over, conceding just four runs and dismissed Dewald Brevis.
Avesh Khan got rid of Akshat Raghuwanshi (18 off 18 balls) on the very first delivery of the next over. He conceded just five runs in the over, and Prince Yadav leaked nine runs in the next over, which left the CSK needing 21 runs in the last two overs.
Prashant Veer hit a six in Avesh's next over to collect 11 runs from the over, which left LSG to defend 10 runs in the final over.
With two left-handed batters at the crease, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant gave the ball to Aiden Markram, who started with a couple of wide deliveries. Then, Shivam Dube hit a couple of sixes to finish the match in style. CSK won the match with five wickets and four balls to spare.
Jamie Overton to Himmat Singh, On a length and angling into the leg side, Himmat Singh misses his flick as the ball goes off his pads towards mid-wicket. A leg bye taken.
Jamie Overton to Himmat Singh, SIX! Oh..that is a top shot! Short of a length and on middle, not short enough this time. Himmat Singh gets on top of the bounce, swivels and pulls it over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. 150 up for LSG.
Jamie Overton to Himmat Singh, A quick and sharp bouncer, on middle, Himmat Singh ducks under it.
Again, a wicket falls immediately after the break for LSG. This brings Himmat Singh to the crease.
On the first ball of the over, keeper Sanju Samson thought he heard a noise but Jamie Overton didn't even appeal for a caught behind, strange.
Jamie Overton to Akshat Raghuwanshi, OUT! CAUGHT! Number three for Jamie Overton. He cleverly rolls his fingers to take pace off, hits the length hard and on off. Akshat Raghuwanshi tries to flat-bat it down the ground but the ball just bounces a bit more and hits him high on the bat. It spoons towards mid off, where Urvil Patel takes a dolly. LSG are 147/6.
Jamie Overton to Akshat Raghuwanshi, WIDE! Hard length but angling down the leg side, Akshat Raghuwanshi swings at it but misses. Wided.
Jamie Overton to Akshat Raghuwanshi, Bangs this into the pitch, on middle, Akshat Raghuwanshi sways away and tries the upper cut but misses. Sanju Samson grabs it behind the stumps and appeals for the catch, but get no support from the others.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The Super Giants were 91/1 after the first 6 overs, and they are now 146/5 with 6 overs remaining. The Super Kings have made a brilliant comeback in the middle phase thanks to solid spells from the likes of Noor Ahmad and Jamie Overton. LSG don't have much batting to come after this and might be forced to use their Impact Sub early if a wicket falls soon after the break. On the other hand, CSK will be looking for more wickets because with plenty of overs still to play, if they don't keep picking up wickets, LSG could still go on and get to 200 runs. With that said, Jamie Overton (2-0-21-2) is back on.

Akeal Hosein to Akshat Raghuwanshi, OUT! AIDEN MARKRAM IS RUN OUT! It's going from bad to worse for Lucknow Super Giants here.

The replay also confirms the same, and just like that, LSG lose half their side.

The ball ends up taking the inside edge and goes back on to hit the stumps.
Jamie Overton to Rishabh Pant, Oh, deary me! A direct hit and Aiden Markram would have been out by a mile.
