Mukul Choudhary's 54* Seals LSG's 3-Wicket IPL Win Over KKR

Lucknow Super Giants secured a thrilling three-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on the last ball of their Indian Premier League match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 9, 2026, chasing down a target of 182 in a dramatic turnaround powered by an unbeaten half-century from rookie batter Mukul Choudhary.

Batting first after losing the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders posted 181 for four in their 20 overs on a slow surface that offered some grip for bowlers. Captain Ajinkya Rahane anchored the innings with 41 off 24 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes, while young opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi contributed 45 off 33 balls with five fours and two sixes. The pair built an 84-run second-wicket partnership that steadied the innings after Finn Allen departed for 9. A mid-innings slowdown followed, with KKR losing three wickets for minimal runs as boundaries dried up for 30 deliveries. However, a late flourish from Rovman Powell, who remained unbeaten on 39 off 24 balls with four fours and two sixes, and Cameron Green, not out on 32 off 24 balls, added 70 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket to push the total to a competitive mark.
