Close on the heels of a Norwester spell, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) rookie Mukul Choudhary’s whirlwind innings — an unbeaten 27-ball 54 that handed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) a three-wicket defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) — stunned not only the host but also thousands of its loyal fans at the Eden Gardens on Thursday (April 9, 2026) night.

Mentored by LSG coach Justin Langer and captain Rishabh Pant, the 21-year-old self-confessed M.S. Dhoni admirer was delighted to rise to the occasion.
