LSG vs KKR match summary last night: Lucknow Super Giants pulled off a dramatic last-ball win over Kolkata Knight Riders, chasing 182 and finishing at 182/7. The match was decided by just three wickets.
The star of the game was Mukul Choudhary, who played a stunning unbeaten 54 off 25 balls. He came in when LSG were 104/5 and the game was slipping away. At one stage, he was just 2 off 8 balls, but then he completely changed the match. With 54 needed from 24 balls, he attacked hard and finished the chase.
In the last over, LSG needed 14 runs. Choudhary hit a six, then after a couple of dot balls, smashed another six to bring it down to one run off the last ball. He missed the final delivery but ran a leg-bye to seal the win. Before him, Ayush Badoni played a calm knock of 54 and helped steady the innings after early wickets.
Earlier, KKR scored 181/4. Ajinkya Rahane made 41, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored 45. They added 84 runs together after an early wicket. Later, Rovman Powell finished strongly with 39 not out.
KKR were in control for most of the game and even had a very high chance of winning late in the match. But Choudhary hit multiple sixes in the final overs, turned the game completely and gave LSG a memorable win.
Key Takeaways from the LSG vs KKR Match
The biggest moment of the match was the rise of Mukul Choudhary. The 21-year-old played a match-winning knock of 54 not out. He finished the chase from a losing position. He scored 54 runs off the last 24 balls almost on his own, hitting seven sixes and showing both power and calmness under pressure.
Kolkata Knight Riders struggled badly in the final overs. They had the game under control while defending 181, but things slipped at the end. Cameron Green gave away 16 runs in the second-last over, and Vaibhav Arora could not defend runs in the final over, which allowed LSG to win.
There was also a controversial moment early in the match. Finn Allen was given out on a boundary catch by Digvesh Rathi. Replays suggested the fielder might have been close to touching the boundary. But the decision still went in favor of LSG, which created debate.
KKR’s batting problems continued again. They started well but lost momentum in the middle overs, going from a strong position to losing quick wickets. Even though Rovman Powell and Green added runs at the end to reach 181, the team once again failed to fully use a good start and are still without a win.
