MS Dhoni was unhappy with Deepak Chahar, who was sloppy on the field in Chennai Super Kings’ defeat against Lucknow Super Giants. The hosts put up 210/4 runs on the board and had the situation under control till the 12th over of the innings, but Marcus Stoinis’ memorable hundred helped Lucknow complete a rare double over the five-time champions.
Chahar, who was given two overs, midfield in the death overs. The shots by LSG batters could have been stopped easily, but Deepak slipped to concede two boundaries. It not only kept the visitors in the game but also put pressure on the bowlers.
Dhoni didn’t say anything, but he was angry about the pacer’s efforts. Fans also reacted to Chahar’s mistakes.
Earlier m, Ruturaj Gaikwad (108) and Shivam Dube (66) took the total to 210)4 in 20 overs.
Stoinis struck 124 runs off 63 balls, packed with 13 fours and 7 sixes. Nicholas Pooran (34) and Deepak Hooda (17) played match-winning knocks.
