elcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2026 encounter between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Kolkata Knight Riders in Lucknow.
It has been an underwhelming campaign for both teams this season. They occupy the bottom two spots in the IPL 2026 standings. The winner of today’s contest will have the opportunity to go up to eighth place.
Kolkata Knight Riders enters the game on the back of its first win of the season, at home against Rajasthan Royals. LSG, on the other hand, is on a four-match losing streak. Both sides have struggled for top-order runs this season. KKR has opted to play Tim Seifert in place of Finn Allen.
LSG rolled the dice, opening with Ayush Badoni in its last two contests, but the move did not pay much dividend. The team might go back to the settled overseas combination and will hope the middle order can finally come good today.

President Donald Trump, the first sitting U.S. president to attend the NBA Finals, was booed by fellow New York Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden on Monday before Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs.
Shown on the jumbotron saluting the American flag during the national anthem, Trump received a chorus of boos but downplayed the reception after the game — a 115-111 Spurs win that cut the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1.
“It was certainly amazing. It was, I think, mostly cheers,” he told reporters ahead of boarding Air Force One bound for Washington after staying until the game ended. “It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic.”
The Athletic reported that Trump, 79, a native New Yorker, drew louder boos than the Spurs.
Invited to attend Game 3 by Knicks owner James Dolan, Trump sat in a suite near midcourt, halfway up the seating area, in a box constructed for his visit with bulletproof glass. The glass was one of several security measures taken with Trump in attendance.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Trump was welcome to the first NBA Finals game in New York since 1999, when the Knicks lost to the Spurs, adding that the President is a “genuine Knicks fan.”
“What makes sports so special, especially when there’s so much that divides people, is that it’s something we have in common,” Silver told ESPN’s “Inside the NBA” before Game 3. “We should look for those things we have in common and build off that.”
According to ESPN, fans made rude gestures toward Trump upon his motorcade’s arrival at MSG, along with others holding signs that read “Trump must go.”
Multiple checkpoints were set up for fans, the media and stadium workers to show their ticket or pass to gain entry. Police and Secret Service personnel covered every corner outside the arena.
“Yes, there’s some inconvenience to the fans, but looking around at the arena, it’s packed,” Silver said. “People listened, they came early, they got through the extra security, which is necessary.”
Both coaches downplayed any talk that President Trump’s presence was a distraction to the teams ahead of Game 3.
“My focus is just what’s next and what’s in front of me, and Game 3 is front of us right now,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said. “I feel our group is that way, too.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also attended Game 3. He told the media he purchased his own standing-room-only ticket, spending nearly $1,000.
The world number one took home the U.S. Open on Sunday at Riviera Country Club, and in the process she picked up her fourth major championship title. Korda has previously won the Chevron Championship twice, and she initially broke through on the major circuit with a win at the KMPG Women’s PGA Championship back in 2021.
With Korda picking up her third different major, the hardest to win in the U.S. Open, conversations have understandably turned to a certain subject… the career grand slam.
Recent Career Grand Slams in golf
Professional golf is only a year and change removed from seeing this feat on the men’s side of the game. Rory McIlroy finally won the Masters in 2025, and amazingly he doubled down on that by repeating as its winner this year. Interestingly, next week will offer an opportunity to see someone join Rory in the club on the men’s side as Scottie Scheffler needs only a U.S. Open title himself to do it. He has a chance next week as noted.
Back to Nelly and the women’s game, the LPGA recognizes a career grand slam as a player having won four different majors even though there are currently five. At present time there is the Chevron, the U.S. Open, the Women’s PGA Championship, the Women’s British Open, and back in 2013 the Amundi Evian Championship was formally established as the fifth major.
Korda needs only the British or Evian to claim her career grand slam, and both have yet to be played this season. This means she will have to bites at the proverbial apple.
Nelly has won each of the two majors played this season so she will be the heavy favorite in all likelihood in the coming months.

It is going to be fascinating to watch unfold.

Nelly Korda has already conquered just about everything that she can in professional golf. Given that she is only 27 years old it is all pretty surreal.
