Lucknow Super Giants' disappointing IPL 2026 season continued with a seven-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals. A bizarre run-out blunder by Mohsin Khan, who missed an easy chance to dismiss Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, summed up LSG's struggles.
Prince Yadav's stunning delivery that bowled Virat Kohli for a duck in IPL 2026 has earned him high praise. Bowling coach Bharat Arun called it a 'dream ball' and lauded the young pacer's significant improvement this season, backing him for future national representation. Arun also expressed confidence in other LSG bowlers like Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar hosted several Lucknow Super Giants players for dinner ahead of their IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians. The gathering included captain Rishabh Pant and pacers Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, and Avesh Khan.
Former India pacer Zaheer Khan has expressed happiness over bowlers reclaiming their edge in IPL-2026, highlighting low scores being defended and teams bowled out for 70-odd runs. He praised RCB's Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his consistency, saying it could spark an India comeback, while urging patience with Jasprit Bumrah's lean patch. Zaheer also highlighted young quicks Mohsin Khan and Prince Yadav as exciting talents.
Tim Seifert was the first to go in the final ball of the second over. Mohsin Khan bowled a full delivery around off stump, and Seifert chipped it straight to Mukul Choudhary at covers. He was dismissed for 0 off 3 balls, giving Mohsin a wicket-maiden over.
Lucknow Super Giants crashed to their third consecutive home defeat this season, losing by 40 runs to Rajasthan Royals at Ekana Stadium on April 22. Chasing 160, LSG collapsed to 11/3 within three overs as Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger exploited the extra pace and bounce. Head coach Justin Langer admitted his batters have struggled to adapt to conditions resembling the WACA Ground in Perth, with LSG winning just six of 17 matches at the venue since 2024.
