CSK vs. LSG match: Chennai Super Kings become the only IPL team to achieve an elusive record in T20 cricket.
- Chennai Super Kings make history in the IPL as they become the first team to achieve a rare record in T20 cricket during their match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Discover the remarkable feat and its implications in the world of cricket.
CSK vs. LSG match: On April 23, Chennai Super Kings accomplished a unique achievement in T20 cricket. No other IPL club was able to do what the five-time champions did.
At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 23, 2024, the Chennai Super Kings and the Lucknow Super Giants played an Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 cricket match. The captain of the Chennai Super Kings, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and his teammate, Shivam Dube (R), ran between the wickets.
After losing against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 23, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) dropped from third to fifth place in the standings. They had lost three of the previous five games. But throughout the game, it accomplished a remarkable first for T20 cricket.
In T20 cricket, CSK made history last night by being the only IPL team to post 34 200+ totals. By doing this, they tied Somerset’s record for the most 200+ totals in men’s T20 cricket around the globe.
When captain Ruturaj Gaikwad hit 108 off 60 balls to stay undefeated against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Chennai amassed their 34th 200+ total. The fact that his century went in vain because all-rounder Marus Stoinis’s undefeated 124 off 62 balls helped LSG win the game is a whole other tale.
When it comes to the most 200+ T20 totals in the world of cricket, the Indian national squad trails only Somerset and Chennai. India has amassed 34 such totals, followed in third place by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Yorkshire with 29 each.
To now, CSK has amassed 31 out of 200+ IPL points. The Champions League Twenty20 provided the remaining three totals. When it defeated the Dolphins of South Africa in the 2014 multi-nation T20 tournament, it scored 242/6.
The previous year, Chennai defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with a score of 202/4. Against the Wayamba cricket team of Sri Lanka in 2010, they scored 200/3.
RCB came next, then CSK.
RCB has a 26-game IPL record, whereas CSK has five. Bengaluru has so far amassed a total of 3,200+ points in the Champions League Twenty20. 2011 saw the RCB score 215/8 versus South Australia. They defeated Somerset by 206/6 in the same year. They beat Australia’s New South Wales again in 2011 with a score of 204/4.
The Otago Cricket Team from New Zealand now holds the record for the greatest Champions League Twenty20 score (242/4). When playing Mongolia in T20 format, Nepal has the greatest team score (314/3) ever recorded. The next team to bat is SRH, who defeated RCB on April 15 of this IPL season by scoring 287/3.
