Robin Uthappa (50) used his experience to the fore to guide Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to 210/7 against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2022 contest at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. Asked to bat, Uthappa set the tone for the match with his brilliance, which included some fine pulls shots and cover drivers around the ground. He, however, lost his opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad (1) to a silly run-out.
Uthappa smashed eight boundaries and one six in his 27 ball knock.
Later, English all-rounder Moeen Ali (35) hit four boundaries and two sixes in his 22-ball knock with Shivam Dube (49) making most of the licence given to him. The India all-rounder hit five boundaries and two sixes in his stay of 30 deliveries.
Incoming batters Ambati Rayudu (27), Ravindra Jadeja (17), MS Dhoni (16 not out), then chipped in with important cameos to help the side read a challenging total at the Brabourne Stadium which has smaller boundaries.
Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was the most economical bowler for LSG as he returned figures of 2/24.
Fast bowlers Avesh Khan and Andrew Tye also scalped two wickets but leaked runs at around 10 runs per over.
