RR vs RCB, IPL 2026: Unbeaten sides meet in battle Royal(e)

Green’s much-awaited return as a bowler in the ninth over was successful as LSG skipper Rishabh Pant miscued a pull to be caught at short fine-leg.

Other KKR bowlers chipped in to sustain the pressure. LSG lost wickets regularly even as a focused Ayush Badoni (54) scored a fine half-century. Mukul’s amazing show down the order kept KKR winless after four matches.

Earlier, Rahane and Raghuvanshi batted with composure and punished loose deliveries to help KKR log a decent 56 for one in the PowerPlay before forming an 84-run partnership.

Besides showcasing lovely straight drives, Rahane (41) improvised to pick his areas for big hits.

Promoted, the in-form Raghuvanshi (45) took his time before smartly hammering two fours and a six in consecutive deliveries on the off-side in Avesh Khan’s first over. He also exhibited his range by sweeping M.Siddharth and flicking Avesh over deep fine-leg.

The ploy to send Rinku Singh up did not succeed but Green (32) and Powell (39) added 70 crucial runs. While Green displayed patience, Powell presented glimpses of Andre Russell as he flexed his muscles in his cameo.

Mohammed Shami, who impressed with his accuracy, pace and movement, stood out with his class as LSG bowled plenty of dot balls.

A lesser-known Mukul Choudhary’s late blitzkrieg, an unbeaten 27-ball 54, earned Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) an unbelievable three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday.

After KKR rode on skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Cameron Green and Rovman Powell’s contributions to set a challenging 182, LSG rallied from a desperate situation to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat.

The 21-year-old braveheart from Rajasthan displayed his audacious strokeplay on both sides to help LSG score 30 in the last two overs and secure its second win in a thrilling last-ball finish.

LSG began its chase well before Vaibhav Arora removed Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh in the fifth over.

A master of these conditions, with the ball holding a bit on a spread of dew, Sunil Narine came back stronger to bowl cleverly and keep the batters quiet.

Chasing 184, LSG’s batters could not build any momentum and lost wickets on regular occasions. The core of LSG’s batting were dismissed while trying to attack the bouncer, and spinners Anukul Roy and Sunil Narine.

But enter Mukul Choudhary, just when it looked like the match was beyond LSG’s reach. Coming into bat when his team was reeling at 128/7 in 16 overs, Mukul smashed the KKR bowlers to all parts of the ground to take down the equation to one from one.

In the last ball, Vaibhav Arora nailed his slower bouncer to perfection and Mukul failed to hit it, but Avesh Khan managed to reach the striker’s end safely to seal a memorable victory for the visitor.

KKR vs LSG, IPL 2026: Tyagi credits Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Bravo for helping him manage pressure

That DC came this close was down to K.L. Rahul’s 92 and Miller’s late heroics. The hosts appeared to have run out of steam with 36 runs to get off the last two overs and four wickets in hand. But Miller, having retired hurt at the start of the 14th over due to a hand injury before coming back in the 17th over, hadn’t resigned to that idea. The southpaw walloped Mohammed Siraj for two sixes and a four in the penultimate over, whittling down the requirement to 13 off six balls.

In a game where runs were aplenty, Rashid lent a decisive hand with crucial strikes. The ace Afghanistan leggie had Nitish Rana caught at long-off thanks to an excellent grab by B. Sai Sudharsan in the 10th over, and then cleaned up the in-form Sameer Rizvi with a masterful wrong ’un.  

A little later, Axar Patel became Rashid’s third victim of the night. It eventually condemned DC to defeat by the narrowest of margins.
