'Lucknow Ki Saans Thami, Chennai Ne Dikhaya Dhamaka' – Fans erupt with joy as CSK clinch thrilling win over LSG in IPL 2025

The 30th match of IPL 2025 was a thrilling match, Chennai Super Kings finally ended their five-match losing streak with a nail-biting win against Lucknow Super Giants. CSK won the match with just three balls to left and it was none other than M.S Dhoni who turned back the clock and finished game in style.

After winning the toss, MS Dhoni chose to bowl first. Lucknow didn’t get the best of starts. Aiden Markram got out early for 6, and Nicholas Pooran, who’s been in great form this season, also failed, scoring just 8. Both wickets fell before the team reached 25 runs. From there, Rishabh Pant and Ayush Badoni tried to steady things. They added 32 runs together before Badoni got out for 22. Pant stayed at the crease and scored a fighting 63 runs off 49 balls. Though he batted till the end, he was a bit slow. Towards the end, Abdul Samad added quick 20 runs in 11 balls, and Lucknow finished on 166 for 7 in their 20 overs.

Dhoni became the finisher in the run chase

CSK set a target of 167 and opened with young Shaik Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra, who gave a strong start with a partnership of 52 runs. Rasheed contributed 27 off 19 balls, while Ravindra made 37 off 22. However, CSK lost momentum as Rahul Tripathi and Ravindra Jadeja were dismissed cheaply, and Vijay Shankar didn’t last long either. Shivam Dube struggled to time the ball, increasing the pressure. That's when Dhoni came to the crease, and the atmosphere in the stadium changed immediately.

With 25 runs required from 15 balls, Dhoni wasted no time, hitting boundaries from the get-go. Dube also regained his rhythm, hitting a four and a six to reduce the pressure. With just 12 runs needed from 10 balls, the experienced duo calmly guided the team through the final over and sealed the win in style.

In the last over, Shivam Dube smashed a four to won a crazy game. Dhoni stayed unbeaten, and once again played the role of the perfect finisher. Ravi Bishnoi bowled brilliantly for Lucknow, taking 2 wickets for just 18 runs, but it wasn’t enough. This win was a big relief for CSK fans and a reminder that when Dhoni is at the crease, anything is possible.

It ecstatic that CSK finally won but they need to buck up their top order to take responsibility with +SR. Also, avoid going in deep again & again.#CSKvsLSG #CSKvLSG #LSGvCSK #LSGvsCSK #WhistlePodu pic.twitter.com/JtM5FZxs7N
