LSG Made A Huge Mistake Of Sending Nicholas Pooran In The Super Over: Dasgupta
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta has raised questions over Lucknow Super Giants tactical calls in their Super Over defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders, stating that sending out-of-form Nicholas Pooran to bat in the Super Over ahead of Mitchell Marsh was a huge mistake. Analysing LSGs narrow loss in Lucknow, Dasgupta pointed to both execution and decision-making lapses, particularly in the Super Over, where the team faltered under pressure despite having a strong batting line-up. LSG had two back-to-back games, one against RR and one against KKR, where they should have won. I understand that against Kolkata, it wasnt an easy pitch to bat on, but you would expect them to chase 155 comfortably. Not being able to chase with that kind of batting order is not good for the morale of their dressing room, Dasgupta told JioStar. You know quite well that your batters are unable to score runs and on top of that, you made a huge mistake of sending someone like Nicholas Pooran to bat in the Super Over ahead of Mitchell Marsh, who has been their top run-getter this season. Mitchell Marsh, Himmat Singh and Aiden Markram should have been the ideal three batters to play in the Super Over. Instead, they sent an under-confident Pooran. In T20 cricket, losing close games like these back-to-back can break a teams season. LSG need to fix their batting order and decision-making quickly, or the Playoffs will slip away, he added. LSG, who failed to chase a modest target and then managed just one run in the Super Over, have now slipped under pressure in the points table, with concerns mounting over their batting order and on-field calls in crunch situations. Turning his attention to the upcoming fixture between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, Dasgupta said that the defending champions appear better placed than the hosts, especially in terms of momentum and overall balance, despite a few minor concerns.

IPL 2026: Rinku's Counterattack And Narines Composure Were Key To KKRs Win, Opines Irfan Pathan
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan credited Rinku Singhs late counterattack and Sunil Narines composure under pressure as the defining factors behind Kolkata Knight Riders dramatic Super Over win against Lucknow Super Giants in their recently concluded IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Reflecting on the nature of the contest, Pathan highlighted how the conditions in Lucknow played a significant role in keeping scores in check and bringing bowlers into the game. The quality of bowling was outstanding, and the pitch definitely had something in it, a bit of bounce and movement, which made batting challenging. Weve seen that in Lucknow this season, posting big scores havent been easy. But the turning point was Rinku Singhs counterattack against Digvesh Rathi. That one over where he scored 26 runs completely shifted the momentum. Even though KKR lost a few key moments, that phase changed the game, and from there, they found a way to stay in the contest and eventually come out on top, Pathan told JioStar. KKR, who were struggling big time earlier in the innings, found a lifeline through Rinkus explosive hitting as his 83-run knock propelled them to a competitive total of 155 and ultimately forced the match into a tie. Pathan also reserved special praise for Narines execution in the Super Over, where the veteran spinner dismantled LSGs hopes with a clinical spell. What stood out was the quality of the delivery that he bowled to dismiss Nicholas Pooran and the calmness with which Sunil Narine executed it. To do this consistently over the years, especially in pressure situations like a Super Over, is remarkable. He has faced challenges in his career, but hes always found a way to come back stronger. You dont often see teams turning to a spinner in moments like these, but Narine is an exception. His composure, even when others are appealing or under pressure, allows him to focus on the finer details, and once again, he delivered when it mattered most. Narines Super Over, where he conceded just a solitary run while picking up crucial wickets, left KKR needing only a couple of runs to seal victory, a task they completed off the very first ball as Rinku sent it away for a boundary. Further analysing Rinkus innings, Pathan underlined the batters game awareness and ability to take responsibility in crunch situations. Narines Super Over, where he conceded just a solitary run while picking up crucial wickets, left KKR needing only a couple of runs to seal victory, a task they completed off the very first ball as Rinku sent it away for a boundary.

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.

BJP will end 'goonda raj', 'syndicate raj' if it comes to power in Bengal: Amit Shah
Kolkata, Apr 26:Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the BJP will end goonda raj and syndicate raj in West Bengal if the party comes to power in the state. Addressing a public rally at Tehatta in Nadia district, Shah also claimed that voters wiped out the Mamata Banerjee government in the first phase of the assembly polls itself. The BJP has already won 110 seats in the first phase of polls held on April 23, he said. There will be an end to 'goonda raj' and 'syndicate raj' in West Bengal if the BJP assumes power in the state. Do not be afraid to step out and cast your votes, as the Election Commission has made ample arrangements. Nobody will be able to stop you from voting, Shah said. He said if the BJP is voted to power, it would identify infiltrators hiding in the state and take necessary action against them. The senior BJP leader had to cut short his speech because of sudden heavy rainfall despite a large gathering at the venue. Later, speaking at another gathering in Ranaghat in the same district, Shah alleged that most of the cattle smuggling takes place through Nadia.

Mohsin Khan Carnage In Lucknow, Becomes First Bowler To Pick Five Wickets In IPL 2026
Rinku Singh's resilient unbeaten knock of 83 off 51 balls helped Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) overcome Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) Mohsin Khan's career-best bowling figures of 5 for 23 in four overs, as they posted 155 for 7 in 20 overs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match on Sunday
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. After being put into batting first, things hadnt gone right for KKR as left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan ran through the line-up to pick 5-23, the best figures in this competition. 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. The total is not daunting to chase down for LSG, yet on a surface where batsmen have struggled to settle, Rinkus late surge has given KKR a fighting chance to get their second win in the competition.

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.

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.
