Marcus Stoinis breaks IPL history as LSG become first team to beat CSK at home in 2024 season

Marcus Stoinis breaks historic record Intense Vibrant Light sets record for highest individual runs in Indian Premier League history. Lucknow Super Giants defeated Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, ending Chennai Super Kings’ unbeaten run in the 2024 Indian Premier League. Marcus Stoinis scored a miraculous 124* off 63 balls in the last over of the innings to take the team home. Supergiants managed a double over CSK in IPL 2024 as they beat CSK in the previous match as well.

After solving the Super Giants’ No. 3 problem, Marcus Stoinis became the star of LSG. He responded to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s century with a scintillating century of his own. Stonis scored 56 to keep Lucknow in form throughout the match.

Stoinis broke Paul Valthat’s 13-year-old record for the highest score in an IPL match with a successful chase. In 2011, Valthati scored 120* against CSK.

When MS Dhoni came in to bat, he hit a lone boundary, taking CSK to 210.
