Devdutt Padikkal gave him company for a while but struggled to get going. Matheesha Pathirana put him out of misery by cleaning him up for 13 (19) in the 11th over. Nicholas Pooran played a brilliant cameo of 34 (15) to complement Stoinis' efforts to take their side near the target.
After Pooran's departure, Stoinis held his composure and stayed till the end to finish the match in 19.3 overs. His sensational knock of 124* (63) is the highest in a successful chase in IPL history.

"There was huge amount of dew and it took our spinners away from the game"- CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad after loss vs LSG in IPL 2024 clash
At the post-match presentation, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad reflected on the reasons behind their loss and said:
"Tough pill to swallow but good game of cricket. LSG played really well at the back end. We had in control till the 13-14th over. Hats off to Stoinis.
"It (dew) played a part. There was huge amount of dew and it took our spinners away from the game. If there was no dew, we would have controlled the middle overs and taken the game of cricket. It is part of cricket, you cannot control it. Long way to go (still) in the tournament."
Gaikwad added:
"Batting first, we could not have gotten more than that. To be honest, I never thought it was enough, it was about par. I knew it will go down till the last over. Credit to them, they batted really well."
GT and DC will face each other in the next match of IPL 2024 on Wednesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
