LSG vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: It was a night of high drama in Lucknow as Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a remarkable Super Over victory against Lucknow Super Giants after both teams finished tied on 155 in regulation time.
LSG had dominated key phases of the match, especially with the ball, thanks to Mohsin Khan’s outstanding spell of 5 for 23. The left-arm pacer ripped through KKR’s batting order, removing Ajinkya Rahane, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy. His clever use of pace variations and lengths on a slow black soil pitch left KKR struggling for momentum for most of their innings.
However, Rinku Singh changed the narrative late in the innings. His unbeaten 83 off 51 balls anchored KKR’s recovery, and a late onslaught in the final overs, including a burst of boundaries and sixes, pushed them to a competitive 155 for 7.
LSG’s chase had moments of control but lacked finishing power. Rishabh Pant (42) and Aiden Markram (31) added 57 runs for the second wicket after Mitchell Marsh’s early dismissal. But both batters fell at key moments, leaving the innings exposed. The lower order kept hopes alive, dragging the game into a final over thriller.
The last over turned chaotic when Kartik Tyagi bowled two no-balls and leaked runs under pressure. Despite being allowed to continue, he was hit for a boundary that eventually led to Mohammed Shami smashing a last-ball six, forcing the first Super Over of IPL 2026.
In the Super Over, Sunil Narine produced a match-winning spell of precision. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran first ball and then Aiden Markram soon after, restricting LSG to just 1 for 2, the lowest Super Over score in IPL history.
Rinku Singh completed the job immediately, hitting a boundary off the first ball to seal victory. His overall contribution, including four catches in the field, made it a complete all-round performance. KKR moved to eighth on the table, while LSG slipped to tenth after yet another heartbreaking defeat.
