LSG vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Rinku Singh’s heroics seal dramatic Super Over win for KKR

Anukul Roy to Ayush Badoni, SIX! Tossed up, around off, Ayush Badoni steps a shade across the stumps, plants his front foot close to the pitch of the ball and smashes this over the fence for a biggie towards the wide long off region. 100 UP FOR LSG!

Anukul Roy to Ayush Badoni, Full and on leg, Ayush Badoni tucks this down to long on for a single. 

Anukul Roy to Himmat Singh, LEG BYE! Fired onto the pads, Himmat Singh looks to flick this through short fine leg but misses and gets it brushed off his pads for a leg bye. 

Strategic Break! With the dismissal of Mukul Choudhary, who played a match-winning knock against KKR in the previous meeting, the visitors will feel they are ahead in this game. However, LSG were in a similar situation, and maybe they can unearth another hero, making his name on the world stage. They still have Ayush Badoni out there, who will hold the key in this chase for them. Kolkata Knight Riders will want to keep chipping in with the wickets and not allow the hosts to get back in the game, as they did in Kolkata. Also, Himmat Singh comes out to the middle now.

Anukul Roy to Mukul Choudhary, OUT! CAUGHT! The chase is falling apart for the Super Giants now. Short of a length, around middle and leg, Mukul Choudhary goes deep in the crease and looks to take on the boundary rider at deep mid-wicket, targeting the larger boundary as well. Doesn't get enough power behind the ball and ends up hitting it to the right of Rinku Singh in that region. Rinku runs well to his right and gathers this nice and clean. Mukul Choudhary departs for just 1. 

Anukul Roy to Ayush Badoni, Short and around off, Ayush Badoni cuts this to deep point for one. 

Sunil Narine to Ayush Badoni, Tossed up around off, Ayush Badoni guides this to the left of backward point and takes a single. 

Sunil Narine to Ayush Badoni, Short and quick, outside off. Badoni cuts it off the back foot, but the backward point fielder dives to his left to cut it off.

Sunil Narine to Mukul Choudhary, Fuller around middle and off, Ayush Badoni goes for a sweep but doesn't connect with the bat. A loud appeal for LBW by the keeper and Rahane at first slip but not much by Narine. The umpire just laughs it off but Rahane goes upstairs. A clear spike as the ball is next to the glove of Mukul on the UltraEdge, and the on-field decision stays.

Pooran's difficult IPL continues. LSG slip down to 89/4. In walks Mukul Choudhary at number 6.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Pooran falls into the trap set by Rahane and Varun. Chakaravarthy continues to bowl a quicker one, full and wide of off, Nicholas Pooran chases this and looks to loft this over covers but gets only an outside edge that goes straight into the hands of a very fine short third. Sunil Narine takes a sharp catch there. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, Quicker one, full and wide outside off, Nicholas Pooran swings and misses. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, Short of a length, around off, Nicholas Pooran pats this to cover-point. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, WIDE! Once again, Varun fires this full and wide outside off, flirting with the tramline. Nicholas Pooran doesn't offer any stroke at it, expecting a wide, but the umpire keeps his arms down. Pooran sends this upstairs for a review. The replay shows that there is nothing inside the tramline, and this turns out to be an excellent review by Pooran. Wide given. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, Darted across the batter, on off, Nicholas Pooran slashes hard at it but gets beaten. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Now these are dangerous signs for KKR as Pooran is looking in the mood. Tossed up, full and wide outside off, Nicholas Pooran steps towards the pitch of the ball and lofts this handsomely over the fence towards the deep extra cover region for a biggie. 

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ayush Badoni, Quicker one, wide of off, Ayush Badoni stays onto his back foot and cuts this to deep point for a single.

Spin has done the trick here. Ayush Badoni is the next man in. A slip in place for him as well.

Sunil Narine to Rishabh Pant, OUT! GONE! Narine strikes and strikes big, putting an end to this budding stand. He keeps KKR well and truly alive in the contest. Quicker and fuller, wide outside off, Rishabh Pant goes for a reverse sweep but misses and loses his balance as well. Tim Seifert gathers this on the second attempt and appeals for a caught behind but the umpire denies it. Ajinkya Rahane sends this upstairs for DRS. A clear spike on the UltraEdge as the ball is next to Pant's glove. An excellent review by KKR, forced by Tim Seifert and the home side loses their skipper. As they say, you live by the sword and die by it as well. Pant falls and the Super Giants are 78/3, chasing 156.

Sunil Narine is back on. He has conceded 13 runs in his first two overs.

Sunil Narine to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! A Pant special for four. Short of a length, on middle and off, Pant shuffles across and smashes this over the fielder at short fine leg for a boundary. Pant does fall over but hits this well behind the fielder for four. 

Kartik Tyagi to Nicholas Pooran, Excellent deception! Off cutter, full and wide outside off. Pooran swings the bat to blast it into the cover gap, but only manages to get an under-edge and the ball rolls back to Seifert. Just 7 from the over. LSG need 82 from 48 balls.

Kartik Tyagi to Nicholas Pooran, Wide yorker, at 142.9, and marginally inside the tramline, outside off. Nicholas Pooran opts to leave.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, On the fuller side, smidge outside off. Pant steers it past point for a single.

Kartik Tyagi to Nicholas Pooran, At pace now, the yorker, on off. Pooran carves it to mid off and they cross over hastily for a single. Rahane rushes forward, picks the ball, releases the throw to the bowling end, but misses his shy, allowing Pooran to motor in.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, Fuller ball, outside off. Pant knifes the slower ball through cover-point for a single.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Pretty audacious, but Pant did what he does best. Pitched fuller on the leg stump line. Rishabh Pant moves across in the crease and despite his head falling over to the off side, he manages to whip that over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. One bounce and over the ropes.

Will Ajinkya Rahane bring spin back on? No, he sticks with Kartik Tyagi.

Cameron Green to Nicholas Pooran, Closer to the off pole, on a length, Nicholas Pooran watchfully blocks it back to Green. Just 4 runs and a wicket from this over.

Cameron Green to Rishabh Pant, At 134.6 kph, this is bashed on a length, outside off. Rishabh Pant advances down the track and thrashes it to deep point but there is protection in the form of Kartik Tyagi. Just a single.

Cameron Green to Nicholas Pooran, Fuller on off, Pooran presses forward and eases it wide of point for a single.

Cameron Green to Nicholas Pooran, Length ball from around the wicket, 137.5 kph, angled in at the batter. Pooran hops up and tucks the bat close to his body to defend.

A crucial breakthrough for KKR. That brings Nicholas Pooran out to the middle now.

Is that a clean grab? If it is, then Rinku Singh has pulled off a blinder here. He looks very confident and the third umpire is called upon. The replay shows that Rinku has kept his foot inside the ropes before releasing the ball and it is a fair catch. Markram has to walk back.

Cameron Green to Aiden Markram, OUT! A SPECTACULAR CATCH! Rinku Singh cannot do anything wrong in this match and one can see how much it means to Cameron Green and KKR. On a fractionally fuller length, on the off stump line. Aiden Markram gets on the front foot and tries to clear the long off fence, but seemingly does not hit it off the middle of the bat. The ball still has the wheels to clear the ropes, but Rinku comes charging across to his right from long off and plucks it. But as soon as he realises that the momentum is taking him over the ropes, he lobs the ball up in the air, balances himself nicely, comes back in the playing area and takes it in the second attempt. The replay shows that no part of his boot is in contact with the ropes while holding the ball. Not the tallest man out there, is Rinku, but he always is a live-wire in the field. Lucknow Super Giants are 65/2 as the dangerous Aiden Markram walks back to the hut.

Cameron Green to Aiden Markram, Slightly fuller by Green, outside off. Markram plays from the crease and chips it wide of extra cover. Rinku Singh runs to his left from long off and cuts it off. Two taken.

Kartik Tyagi to Aiden Markram, The pace-off delivery, into the pitch, outside off at just 118.1 kph. Markram stands tall and scythes it to sweeper cover for a single. At halfway, Lucknow Super Giants are 63/1, needing 93 runs from 60 balls.

Kartik Tyagi to Aiden Markram, Beaten by bounce and pace! Well-directed short delivery, just outside off. Aiden arches back and tries to unleash the upper cut, but misses to put his bat on the ball. Good heat from Kartik so far. All of his balls have clocked above 145 kph.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, Hard length, angled around off, at 148.9 kph. Pant weighs on the back foot and pulls it to deep square leg for a single.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Signature Pant stroke! A bit too full, on the leg stump line. Rishabh Pant crouches a bit and gets under the ball nicely before whipping it behind square. Hits it a bit uppishly and into the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, Back of a length, on middle, Pant stays put and dinks it to mid-wicket.

Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, Begins with a hard length ball, angled from middle to off. Rishabh Pant charges down the track and stays leg side to thrash it over the in-field on the off side, but toe ends it to mid off.

Strategic Break! Despite losing a wicket, Lucknow Super Giants have done well through Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant to steady the ship. Even though the boundaries may be hard to come by, they have done well to rotate strike and run the game along. LSG know that if they keep wickets in hand, even if the asking rate goes up slightly, they can manage it. Kolkata Knight Riders have done well to keep the runs in check, but they have to pick up wickets to make a game out of this one. Here is Kartik Tyagi to bowl after the break.
