Star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis played one of the most iconic knocks in the match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, on April 23 (Tuesday). Stoinis revealed a mantra from former CSK captain MS Dhoni that helped him and LSG breach the Chepauk fortress.
Stoinis reveals Dhoni's mantra
Lucknow Super Giants posted a clip of Aussie star Marcus Stoinis from their official ‘X’ account formerly known as Twitter. The video dates back to February 24. 2024, and in the video Stoinis can be seen revealing Dhoni's advice to him about chasing big scores that he later successfully used against CSK as well in the epic clash.

"MS Dhoni told this one thing to me. He said in big games, everyone thinks that I've got to do something extra. I've got to do something different. His mantra and how he speaks to himself is he stays there, he stands still and he says everyone else is going to change. I'm going to be the only one here that doesn't change and that holds him ahead of everyone else.," Stoinis said in the video.
Stoinis' ton throws CSK out of top four
Lucknow Super Giants have regained their spot in the top four of the IPL 2024 points table after their stunning 6-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings. CSK have dropped to the fifth spot after their fourth loss of the season. Stoinis played an unbeaten knock of 124 runs off just 63 balls. His ton outshined Ruturaj Gaikwad's (108 not out off 60 balls) second IPL ton that he smashed in the first innings.
CSK batting first put 210 on the scoreboard with the help of Gaikwad's hundred and Shivam Dube's sensational fifty but it eventually fell short in front of LSG's efforts as they won the match with 3 balls still remaining.
