Akash Singh brings out trending celebration after dismissing Ruturaj Gaikwad cheaply in LSG vs CSK I

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Akash Singh came up with a note celebration after taking the prized wicket of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL 2026 match at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday, May 15. The left-arm bowler dismissed Gaikwad for 13 runs off nine balls as the Super Kings lost their first wicket for 31.

The dismissal came in the fourth over of CSK’s innings. Akash bowled a hard length ball outside off that skidded after pitching. The right-hander went for a pull shot but was outfoxed by extra pace and bounce and miscued it to Nicholas Pooran, who completed a simple catch at mid-on. Following the wicket, Akash took out a paper note to celebrate along with his teammates. The message read:

“#Akki on fire — Akash knows how to take wickets in T20 game.”

Earlier this season, players like Urvil Patel (CSK) and Raghu Sharma (Mumbai Indians) have celebrated in a similar fashion. SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Abhishek Sharma began the trend in 2025.

A win would help the Chennai-based franchise stay alive in the race for the playoffs. They are fifth in the points table with six Victories in 11 games. On the contrary, LSG have already been eliminated from the knockout matches this season. They have secured only three wins in 11 games and are at the bottom of the points table.

The two teams previously locked horns in Chennai in their last game. CSK won that game by five wickets. As a result, the Rishabh Pant-led side would be keen to avenge their defeat and spoil the Super Kings’ chances in IPL 2026
