IPL 2026: Lucknow Super Giants snatched a dramatic three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders three-wicket in a last-ball thriller, thanks to an unbeaten knock from Mukul Choudhary unbeaten 54 off 27 balls in Match 15 of IPL 2026 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday.
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, LSG’s bowlers executed a disciplined performance to restrict the home side to a competitive total of 181 for 4 in 20 overs. The Eden Gardens pitch offered decent bounce and carry early on, but KKR’s batters found ways to accelerate in patches. Young Angkrish Raghuvanshi top-scored with a fluent 45 off 33 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes.
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane provided a solid platform with an aggressive 41 off just 24 deliveries, which featured four fours and two sixes. In the death overs, Rovman Powell (39 off 24 balls) and Cameron Green (32 not out off 24) stitched a crucial 70-run partnership off just 40 balls, helping KKR post a challenging total.
For LSG, star pacer Digvesh Singh Rathi stood out as the pick of the bowlers, as he finished with impressive figures of 1 for 25 in his four overs spell. His variations and tight lines disrupted KKR’s rhythm at key moments. The rest of the attack, including experienced campaigners like Mohammed Shami and Avesh Khan, maintained pressure, preventing the home team from launching a full-scale assault.
