Chennai, May 10: In the 53rd match of IPL 2026, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced off against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium. LSG achieved their highest powerplay score in this match, amassing 91 runs while losing just one wicket.
After losing the toss, LSG opened their innings with a fiery partnership between Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh. Marsh played the anchor role, while Inglis unleashed a barrage of boundaries. Inglis’s explosive batting helped LSG set a new record for the highest score in the first six overs of the league, surpassing their previous record of 90 runs against the Mumbai Indians.
Inglis completed his half-century in just 17 balls, making him the third-fastest player to achieve this feat for LSG in the league. He also set the record for the fastest fifty at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in IPL history. His impressive innings included 85 runs off 33 balls, featuring 10 fours and 6 sixes.
However, Mitchell Marsh struggled with the bat, scoring only 10 runs before being dismissed. Nicholas Pooran also had a quiet outing, contributing just one run before falling to Noor Ahmad. Captain Rishabh Pant started well but was bowled out for 15 runs after facing 12 balls. Aiden Markram was unfortunate, getting run out for just 6 runs.
For this match, LSG made two significant changes to their playing XI. Josh Inglis returned to the team after recovering from injury, while Avesh Khan replaced the expensive pacer Mayank Yadav. CSK, on the other hand, did not make any changes to their lineup.
