कोलकाता vs लखनऊ, मैच 15, ईडन गार्डन्स, कोलकाता, 09 April 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

In-angler, on a length, on leg. Badoni tries to tuck it to the leg side, but misses and wears it on the pad.

Too full outside off, carved straight to cover.

 SIX! FIFTY FOR AYUSH BADONI! A very, very well-compiled half-century. His 7th in the IPL and the first in this season. Anukul misfires a full toss at knee height. Ayush Badoni accepts it gleefully and clears the deep mid-wicket fence with ease for a crucial six to cross his milestone. A fantastic knock from the youngster on a sluggish pitch. But he knows the job is far from done.

OUT! FIFTY AND OUT FOR BADONI! Wicket number 2 for Anukul Roy and the most important one in the game's context. Length ball outside off, and Badoni gets forward but has to stretch for it a bit extra. He goes inside-out over extra cover, but the bottom hand slips off the handle at the moment of impact. The ball loops in the air, and Rinku runs to his left from long off and settles under it without fuss. He is not dropping those at all. Lucknow Super Giants are 125/6, needing 57 runs from 32 balls.

Uses the wider angle, short on middle. Shami goes back and across and nudges it in front of square leg for a single.

Skids through from a length, on the stumps. Mukul Choudhary is rushed on the back foot and stabs it down to long on for a single. Anukul Roy is done with his spell, with figures reading 4-0-32-2.

Tossed up, full and on off, Mukul Choudhary looks to work it away but gets an outside edge along the ground to short third.

Beaten! Slower through the air, full and around off, grips and turns away sharply. Mukul Choudhary is finding it hard to read Narine. He pushes his bat in front but gets beaten on the outside edge.

Three dots in a row! Flatter and shorter, on off. Mukul Choudhary looks to punch it away but misses again.

Flighted, full and on middle, Mukul Choudhary goes down and sweeps it to deep square leg for a single.

Another dot! A carrom ball, full and on off, turns in now. Mohammad Shami falls over to his front trying to play and the ball sneaks past the outside edge.

OUT! TAKEN! Sunil Narine finishes an incredible spell of bowling with a wicket. 200 T20 scalps in India for Narine, he is the first overseas bowler to achieve this feat. The West Indian reaches that milestone with a delivery that's floated up, full and on middle, turning it in. Mohammad Shami looks to slog it with the spin but gets it more from the inside half of the bat. It flies straight towards deep square leg, where Anukul Roy takes a good catch around his waist. Narine punches the air in delight. You don't often see him showing his emotions. LSG are 128/7, needing 54 runs from 24 balls.

Short of a length and on middle, Mukul Choudhary pulls it hard but straight to deep square leg for a single.

Nails the yorker, on middle, Mukul Choudhary can only jam it out to the leg side.

FOUR! Superb effort in the deep, but it goes in vain! Back of a length and on middle. Mukul Choudhary connects well with his pull again. It zips to the left of deep square leg, where Ramandeep Singh moves and gets a good left hand on it, but it clips his boots and rolls to the fence for a boundary.

SIX! Wow..where has that come from? Vaibhav Arora goes fuller, follows the batter into the leg side. Mukul Choudhary brings out his inner MS Dhoni. Gets under it and nails the helicopter shot over the long on fence for a biggie.

Bangs this into the pitch, on middle, Mukul Choudhary heaves it away to deep mid-wicket for one.

A quick bouncer, around off. Avesh Khan opens up his body to whack it but fails to connect.

SIX! Mukul Choudhary is keeping LSG in this game! Short of a length and just outside off. Mukul steps across early. He waits for it and, using his wrists, gives it a big swat, sending the ball flying over the wide long off fence for a biggie. Unbelievable shot!

A full toss, on middle, Mukul Choudhary drills it hard but down towards long on. Denies the single.

Back of a length and around off, Mukul Choudhary heaves it away to deep mid-wicket but does not take the run.

SIX! Connects well again! Kartik Tyagi misses the mark and serves a juicy full toss, on middle. Mukul Choudhary stays deep inside his crease and launches it powerfully over the long-on fence for half a dozen more. 31 needed in 14 now.

Hits the deck hard and around off, Mukul Choudhary pulls it away to deep mid-wicket and takes the run. Avesh Khan has the free license to go big on the last ball.

A dot! Fuller and outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Avesh Khan backs away and swings hard but gets nowhere near the ball. 13 from the over!

In the air...SAFE! A slower bumper, on middle. Mukul Choudhary stays back and tries to flat-bat it down the ground but gets a top edge. It flies high in the air but lands perfectly between the converging long on and long off fielders. Dot ball.

Short of a length and on off, takes pace off. Mukul Choudhary goes through the pull shot early and misses. It hits his back and deflects towards short third. 

SIX! Gets hold of that one! Goes for the off-cutter into the deck, but it is just not enough. Mukul Choudhary manages to pick up the length, swivels and smacks it flat and over the deep backward square leg fence for another biggie.

Clever bowling! Takes pace off again, serves this full and outside off. Mukul Choudhary has a big slog across the line. Gets a slight outside edge on a couple of bounces to the keeper.

FOUR! Streaky but they all count! Short again and on middle, pace on this time. Mukul Choudhary goes for the pull again but gets a top edge over the keeper's head for a boundary. 20 needed in 7 balls now.

SIX! Pressure? What pressure? Cameron Green with another short delivery, slower again. Mukul Choudhary anticipates it early, waits for it and smashes it cleanly over the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen more. 16 from the over!

Golden run from Avesh Khan! Good length and on middle, Khan nudges it through mid-wicket for a single and gets Mukul back on strike. 13 needed in 5 balls now.

SIX! Into the stands! Mukul Choudhary, you beauty. Vaibhav Arora lands his back of a length and on middle, angling into the pads. Mukul makes no mistake of picking it up and whipping it over the deep square leg fence for another six. 7 needed 4 now.

Well bowled! Vaibhav Arora comes around the wide and executes the wide yorker to perfection, outside off. Mukul Choudhary cannot get under it and misses. 7 needed off 3 now.

Back-to-back dots! Vaibhav Arora sees the batter move across and delivers another wide yorker, outside off. Mukul Choudhary shuffles across a long way for the scoop but misses.

SIX! UNBELIEVABLE! Why play the scoop when you can do that? He brings up a superb MAIDEN IPL FIFTY as well, and will be hoping to finish the job now. Arora misses the yorker just by an inch, outside off. Mukul Choudhary backs away, crouches low and extends his arms to reach out for it. He carves it out, and the ball rockets over the deep extra cover fence for a biggie. SCORES LEVEL!

Vaibhav Arora goes for the bouncer for this last ball, and delivers it well, on off. Mukul Choudhary stands outside off for the pull but misses. Avesh Khan sets off for the bye, and Mukul has to go for it. The keeper, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, collects it, but cannot repeat what Jos Buttler did for GT last night and misses the stumps. LSG WIN A THRILLER BY 3 WICKETS!
