IPL 2026: Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh Help KKR Clinch Super Over Win Over LSG (ld)

Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narines double strike and Rinku Singhs decisive boundary helped Kolkata Knight Riders clinch a dramatic Super Over victory against Lucknow Super Giants and get off the bottom spot in the points table in a tightly contested clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday. After both teams were tied at 155, the 16th such instance in the tournaments history, thanks to a last-ball six from Mohammed Shami, it paved the way for the first Super Over of the ongoing season to take place. LSG sent out Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram, followed by Rishabh Pant. Narine was entrusted with the ball and immediately swung the contest in KKRs favour. Pooran was bowled on the first delivery while attempting a slog sweep. After Pant managed a single, Markram fell to a brilliant relay catch involving Rovman Powell and Rinku Singh near the boundary rope, meaning LSG could make only one run in their Super Over innings the lowest score in the one-over shootout in an IPL game. In reply, KKR relied on Rinku and Powell to finish the job. Prince Yadav was given the responsibility of defending four runs, as Mohsin Khan, who had taken a five-for earlier, was subbed out. As soon as Prince missed the yorker, Rinku opened the bat face and sliced through the square boundary on the off-side, and the boundary sealed victory for KKR off the very first ball of their chase. The finish capped a remarkable night for Rinku, who earlier smashed four sixes in the final over to take LSG past 150 by hitting his highest T20 score of 83 not out off 50 balls, and took four catches in the outfield in regular game time. With Narine delivering with precision under pressure, Rinkus composure and power ensured KKR got their second win of the season. Previously, things hadnt gone right for KKR as Mohsin ran through the line-up to pick 5-23, the best figures in this season. Rinku then stepped up to lift KKR out of trouble through his unconquered 51-ball knock laced with seven fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 162.75, including hitting Digvesh Rathi for 26 runs in the final over. KKRs innings began shakily as Tim Seifert chipped to cover off Mohsin, who then removed Ajinkya Rahane for 10 after miscuing to mid-on. Angkrish Raghuvanshi was controversially adjudged out for obstructing the field on nine, while Rovman Powell departed soon after gloving behind off Mohsin to leave KKR at 31/4 in 6.1 overs. Cameron Green attempted a counterattack, striking three sixes in his 21-ball 34, but Mohsins relentless spell accounted for him as well. The left-arm pacer completed a five-wicket haul by dismissing Anukul Roy for a golden duck, as KKR looked destined for a below-par score. Rinku, however, held firm and stitched brief stands of 20 and 62 not out with Ramandeep Singh and Sunil Narine. He reached his fifty off 42 balls with a drive off Mohammed Shami in the 19th over. His acceleration came late but decisive. After surviving a review in the final over, he launched Rathi for four consecutive sixes over long-on, deep extra cover, long-on again, and cow corner in a stunning display of power hitting. That sequence propelled KKR to crossing the 150-run mark, something which seemed improbable when the side was seven down, as Rinkus late surge gave the three-time champions a fighting chance to win the game. Chasing 156, LSG lost Mitchell Marsh early to Vaibhav Arora in the powerplay, but Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram steadied the innings with a 57-run stand. Markrams fluent 31 ended with him caught by long-off, while Pant never kicked into taking more risks until he was dismissed for 42 by Sunil Narine after a successful review. Nicholas Pooran fell cheaply to Varun Chakaravarthy, continuing his lean run and leaving LSG in trouble. Ayush Badoni (24) and Himmat Singh (19) then revived hopes with aggressive strokeplay. George Linde added quick runs but was caught by Rinku, who had a standout night in the field with four catches. With the equation at 17 runs needed off the final over, Kartik Tyagi bowled the final over, which swung wildly. He bowled a no-ball, then saw Himmat carve a free-hit for four before having him caught at deep square-leg. With eight needed off four balls, Prince Yadav managed only a bye, leaving Shami on strike. After a dot ball, Shami launched the final delivery over the fence at long-off to tie the scores. From there, LSG couldnt get past Narine and Rinku as they now occupy the bottom spot in the points table. Brief scores: With eight needed off four balls, Prince Yadav managed only a bye, leaving Shami on strike.

Lucknow Super Giants: Mohammed Shami struck a dramatic six off the final ball to ensure Match 38 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders goes into a Super Over after both teams finished on 155 in a pulsating contest at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday. KKR tried their best to close out the game, but Shami hitting a six off Kartik Tyagi on the last ball meant a one-over shootout would decide the result.

Lucknow Super Kings: After picking a brilliant 5-23 for Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan said his only priority was to ensure his performances are converted into a victory for the side.

IPL 2026: Rinkus Unbeaten 83 Takes KKR To 155/7 After Mohsin Picks Five-for

Kolkata Knight Riders: Rinku Singhs highest score in T20 cricket an unbeaten 83 off 50 balls - rescued Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from a precarious situation and lifted them to 155/7 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday.

IPL 2026: KKR Batter Raghuvanshi Given Out For Obstructing The Field Against LSG

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Angkrish Raghuvanshi on Sunday became only the fourth batter in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 history to be dismissed for obstructing the field, during his sides clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The rare dismissal occurred on the final ball of the fifth over of KKRs innings. Raghuvanshi, batting on nine off seven deliveries, punched the ball towards mid-on off pacer Prince Yadav and set off for a single before aborting the run midway after being told to do so by all-rounder Cameron Green. In his attempt to return to the crease, Raghuvanshi made a turnaround from one side of the pitch to the other and was struck by the incoming throw. Seeing that, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant and his teammates immediately appealed for obstructing the field. The matter was sent upstairs, where third umpire Rohan Pandit reviewed the footage and determined that the batter had clearly altered his running path while attempting to get back to his crease, thereby intentionally interfering with the throw.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders in their eighth match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season on Sunday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. LSG head into the fixture after a setback against Rajasthan Royals, a result that has put them under pressure in the standings. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs from the bowling unit, which delivered disciplined performances. Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan stood out with economical spells. Led by Rishabh Pant, the Super Giants have had an inconsistent first half of the campaign and now face a crucial phase. With seven league matches remaining, the team will be aiming to string together victories to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their previous encounter with Kolkata produced a nail-biting finish, with Lucknow edging out a three-wicket win off the final delivery. On that occasion, Mukul Choudhary played a match-winning knock of 54 not out from just 27 balls, smashing seven sixes to guide his side home in dramatic fashion. For Kolkata, concerns remain around their bowling resources. Injuries to key pacers Harshit Rana and Akash Deep have weakened the attack, while experienced campaigners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have yet to consistently hit top form. However, Chakravarthy showed signs of resurgence recently with a three-wicket haul against Rajasthan, offering some optimism for the defending champions.
