Lucknow Super Giants registered another brilliant victory in the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026. Taking on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 15th game of the tournament, Lucknow emerged victorious at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, defeating KKR by three wickets.
The clash began with Kolkata Knight Riders coming in to bat first and posting a total of 181 runs. Aiming to chase down the target, it was the performance of LSG’s Mukul Choudhary that helped them register the victory.
Coming out to bat in the middle order, Choudhary scored 54* runs in 27 deliveries and helped his side register the win. LSG chased down the target off the final ball, and after the game, skipper Rishabh Pant came forward and heaped praise on Mukul’s performance.
"When we see him (Mukul) in the nets, when you see someone, you can see that, but when you do it in the match, it just feels amazing. Yeah, like I don't have words to describe. It's just overwhelmed from the match, but what a fantastic effort,” Rishabh Pant said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
“Definitely. One thing I made sure that, personally, sometimes the trust and, when you believe in someone as a player, as a captain, they have a trust of the management, a player can do wonders, having that trust, I think definitely plays a big role,” he added.
