Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul was all praise for Marcus Stoinis` match-winning 63-ball-124 not out against Chennai Super Kings as he felt that the home team`s score of 210 for 4 was at least 30 runs above-par on that particular Chepauk track. Stoinis` special effort overshadowed a classy century by CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad in their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday as LSG won by six wickets.
Rahul, who once said strike-rates are over-rated in T20s, admitted that a total like 180 which was considered challenging might not be enough in the day and age of `Impact Player`. "Very special (win), especially when it is a game like that. It felt like we were way behind the game in the chase. Just to pull off a victory feels special," Rahul said at the post-match presentation ceremony. Rahul said their win against CSK in Lucknow had little context on a very different Chennai deck. "These were different conditions. They got off to a good start and put pressure on the bowlers. I didn`t think it was a 210 wicket.
