LSG lost both openers within five overs. Captain Rishabh Pant also got out cheaply for 10 runs. However, Ayush Badoni fought well and scored 54 off 34 balls. At one stage, Lucknow Super Giants were 104/5 and then 128/7. But then came Mukul Choudhary, who stole the win from KKR’s mouth.
The 21-year-old scored his maiden IPL fifty and made an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, with seven sixes and two fours. He scored 30 runs in the last two overs to help LSG win the match, and KKR suffered another defeat from a winning position.
