Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are currently facing each other in Match 30 of the IPL 2025 season at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Invited to bat first, the hosts got off to an underwhelming start as they lost two wickets and scored only 42 runs in the powerplay. While the CSK pacers bowled exceptionally well despite the field restrictions, they were ably supported by the fielders.
One great piece of fielding was witnessed when Rahul Tripathi plucked a stunner near to dismiss Aiden Markram for just 6 runs.
On the final delivery of the first over, Markram looked to whip a back of a length delivery by Khaleel Ahmed. However, the LSG opener ended up closing the face of his bat, and the ball took the leading edge and went high in the air.
Tripathi ran behind, kept his eyes on the ball all the way through to grab a stunning catch diving forward.
