Lucknow Super Giants has made a remarkable comeback in its chase of 182 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Its comeback has been led by Mukul Choudhary, a 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Rajasthan that it picked up for Rs. 2.60 crore in the mini-auction.

Mukul scored 173 runs from five innings at a strike-rate of 198.85 for Rajasthan in the last edition Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after coming in as an injury replacement for Kartik Sharma.

On Thursday, Mukul announced himself on the IPL stage with a 27-ball 54 with two fours and seven sixes to lead his side a three-wicket win.
