Mohsin Khan Shines in IPL Match Despite KKR’s Super Over Win
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), April 27: Mohsin Khan delivered an outstanding performance with his five-wicket haul, making a significant impact in the thrilling IPL 2026 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, KKR managed to secure a dramatic Super Over victory, leaving LSG disappointed.
Mohsin’s impressive spell of 4-1-23-5 was the first five-wicket haul of the season. He put LSG in control for much of the game but KKR fought back to tie the match and win. Mohsin started strongly, taking early wickets and maintaining pressure with regular breakthroughs, including dismissing Cameron Green for 34 runs.
Carlos Brathwaite praised Mohsin’s disciplined and aggressive approach on ESPNcricinfo, highlighting his ability to consistently hit the pitch hard and disrupt the opposition. Mohsin also made a significant impact in the middle overs, taking crucial wickets to keep KKR under pressure.
This performance was a strong comeback for Mohsin after injury setbacks that hindered his progress since his debut season in 2022. Sanjay Bangar, India’s former batting coach, noted Mohsin as India’s top left-arm seamer due to his skillset, including his ability to generate extra bounce and hit the perfect length.
Despite Mohsin’s brilliance, LSG fell short of victory. KKR held their nerve in the closing stages to win the Super Over. LSG will next face Mumbai Indians on May 4, with Mohsin’s form being a key strength for the team moving forward.
