Chennai Super Kings ended their longest losing streak in the Indian Premier League by defeating Lucknow Super Giants, who had a three-match winning streak. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's unbeaten 26 off 11 balls, supported by Shivam Dube, led Chennai to victory with three balls to spare, scoring 168-5 in response to Lucknow's 166-7.
Lucknow's spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Digvesh Rathi posed a challenge in the middle overs, but Chennai's strong finish, with Dhoni and Dube's partnership contributing 57 runs off 28 balls, secured the win. Shardul Thakur's expensive spell of 0-56 was notable in the match. Despite the victory, Chennai remained at the bottom of the IPL table, while Lucknow held the fourth position.
