CSK vs LSG: While Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were chasing a target of 211 runs set by Chennai Super Kings, an audience in the crowd was injured by a six hit by young batter Ayush Badoni (CSK). LSG defeated the defending champions with three balls to spare in match six of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
With 34 runs needed in the final two overs, skipper Ravindra Jadeja turned to medium-pacer Shivam Dube. Badoni was sitting deep inside the crease, sensing an opportunity to make full use of that over. Badoni swiped the ball hard towards deep square leg as Dube bowled a short delivery, and it went on to hit a lady in the stands.

Despite the fact that the ball struck the audience, she appeared to be unharmed. Meanwhile, Badoni and match-winnerwinner Evin Lewis (55* off 23 balls) tried to take advantage of the over and scored 25 runs.
With only nine runs needed in the final over, Badoni hit the first legitimate ball for a six, followed by a single, as the newcomers secured a resounding victory over the defending champions. Skipper KL Rahul (40 off 26 balls) and Quinton de Kock (61 off 45 balls) were also instrumental in chasing down the big target.
Earlier in the game, after winning the toss, skipper KL Rahul invited CSK to bat, and the Men in Yellow came down with all guns blazing. Robin Uthappa (50 off 27 balls), Moeen Ali (35 off 22 balls), Shivam Dube (49 off 30 balls), and Ambati Rayudu (27 off 20 balls) all contributed significantly to the team’s success. CSK made 210/7 in 20 overs, thanks to skipper Ravindra Jadeja (17 off 9) and former captain MS Dhoni (16* off 6 balls) finishing strongly.
