IPL 2022, LSG vs CSK, Report: Evin Lewis, Quinton De Kock Shine as LSG defeat CSK by 6 wickets

Evin Lewis, considers Chris Gayle as his inspiration batted, or rather, belted the ball like the legendary Jamaican to power Lucknow Super Giants to an incredible triumph over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL on Thursday. Lewis blazed away to an unbeaten 23-ball 55 as LSG, from a hopeless situation, overhauled an imposing target of 211 with three balls to spare. Openers KL Rahul (40) and Quinton de Kock (61) laid the foundation with a rollicking stand but the increasing required run rate made the task extremely difficult for LSG.

However, Lewis had other ideas and along with the talented Ayush Badoni, who played his part with a nine-ball 19, made it look quite simple in the end.
