Urvil Patel Scores 25 Off Avesh Khan in CSK Chase

Urvil Patel turned Avesh Khan’s fifth over into a 25-run burst, with three consecutive sixes carrying Chennai Super Kings from 47 for 1 to 72 for 1. The surge came in a chase of 204 runs in 20 overs against Lucknow Super Giants.

Urvil Patel Blasts Fifth Over

Ruturaj Gaikwad started the over with a massive six off the first ball. Patel then took over from the fourth delivery and cleared the rope on the fourth, fifth and sixth balls to punish Avesh.

That over changed the tempo of the chase in a single stretch. Chennai Super Kings did not just take boundaries; they stacked 25 runs off one pacer in one over, and Patel’s three straight sixes were the center of it.

Chennai Super Kings Reach 72 for 1

Before the fifth over, Chennai stood at 47 for 1. After it, they were 72 for 1, a jump that kept the chase of 204 alive with one wicket down and a lot more scoreboard pressure on Lucknow Super Giants.

The sequence also showed how quickly one over can swing a run chase when the batting side has a set platform. Gaikwad’s first-ball six gave the over a fast start, but Patel’s middle and late-over strike rate turned it into the defining passage of the innings.

Avesh Khan Takes The Hit

Avesh Khan was the bowler at the center of the damage, and the numbers around his over tell the story plainly. One six from Gaikwad, three more from Patel, and 25 runs overall left Chennai Super Kings well ahead of the pace they had before the over began.

For Lucknow Super Giants, the problem was not just the boundary count. It was the timing: the fifth over arrived after Chennai had already settled at 47 for 1, and the response pushed them to 72 for 1 without a wicket falling.
