“Bringing Back Memories of MS Dhoni” - Former Cricketer’s Massive Praise for Mukul Choudhary After KKR vs LSG IPL 2026 Clash
The 21-year-old finished unbeaten on 54 off 27 balls as LSG chased 182 with three wickets to spare.
- On Thursday night at Eden Gardens, Lucknow Super Giants rookie Mukul Choudhary struck an unbeaten 27-ball 54, handing Kolkata Knight Riders a three-wicket defeat in the Indian Premier League.
- Mentored by LSG coach Justin Langer and captain Rishabh Pant, Choudhary prepared by hitting 100-150 sixes daily during practice, drawing inspiration from MS Dhoni's finishing style.
- With LSG struggling at 128 for 7 while chasing 182, Choudhary anchored the innings as the jumbotron flashed "54 needed off 24." He scored just two off eight balls initially before accelerating.
- Choudhary credited his domestic experience for maintaining composure under pressure, stating he could "win it if I stay till the end." He secured LSG's victory with calculated aggression in the final overs.
- A strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy performance prompted IPL scouts to launch a bidding war in Abu Dhabi, leading LSG to sign the Rajasthan native for INR 2.6 crore last December.
