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

LSG vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: It was a night of high drama in Lucknow as Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a remarkable Super Over victory against Lucknow Super Giants after both teams finished tied on 155 in regulation time.

LSG had dominated key phases of the match, especially with the ball, thanks to Mohsin Khan’s outstanding spell of 5 for 23. The left-arm pacer ripped through KKR’s batting order, removing Ajinkya Rahane, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy. His clever use of pace variations and lengths on a slow black soil pitch left KKR struggling for momentum for most of their innings.

However, Rinku Singh changed the narrative late in the innings. His unbeaten 83 off 51 balls anchored KKR’s recovery, and a late onslaught in the final overs, including a burst of boundaries and sixes, pushed them to a competitive 155 for 7.

LSG’s chase had moments of control but lacked finishing power. Rishabh Pant (42) and Aiden Markram (31) added 57 runs for the second wicket after Mitchell Marsh’s early dismissal. But both batters fell at key moments, leaving the innings exposed. The lower order kept hopes alive, dragging the game into a final over thriller.

The last over turned chaotic when Kartik Tyagi bowled two no-balls and leaked runs under pressure. Despite being allowed to continue, he was hit for a boundary that eventually led to Mohammed Shami smashing a last-ball six, forcing the first Super Over of IPL 2026.

In the Super Over, Sunil Narine produced a match-winning spell of precision. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran first ball and then Aiden Markram soon after, restricting LSG to just 1 for 2, the lowest Super Over score in IPL history.

Rinku Singh completed the job immediately, hitting a boundary off the first ball to seal victory. His overall contribution, including four catches in the field, made it a complete all-round performance. KKR moved to eighth on the table, while LSG slipped to tenth after yet another heartbreaking defeat.

STRATEGIC BREAK! It's been a difficult ride for the Knight Riders and Raghuvanshi's dismissal is gathering a lot of mixed reactions as well. The pitch is clearly on the slower side, and LSG's bowlers, particularly their frontline attack, were disciplined in keeping it stump to stump, offering the batters very little room to free their arms. However, Green decided to cut loose in the previous over and KKR would hope that was the jailbreak moment for them. More spin deployed. Here's Aiden Markram into the attack.

Mohsin Khan to Rovman Powell, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! It just keeps getting worse for the Knight Riders. Mohsin is over the moon as he picks up his third wicket. He bangs it short into the pitch, around the ribs of the batter, on the leg stump line. Rovman Powell lines up for the pull shot, but the ball brushes the gloves and Pant gathers it to his left. He appeals for caught behind and up goes the finger. KKR are 31/4 after 6.1 overs.

End of the Powerplay and it has been an outstanding one for LSG as they have restricted KKR to 31 for 3 after the first six overs. The top-order woes for KKR continue as LSG pin them to the wall with the top three back in the dugout. Rahane started with caution but played a false stroke, whereas Tim Seifert just couldn't get going. A controversial dismissal of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, as he was caught obstructing the field, all of this has added to the misery of KKR. On the contrary, LSG would be feeling even more that this is their game to lose from this situation.

Digvesh Singh to Rovman Powell, Wow, another mix-up between the batters and also between the fielder and the keeper. Bowled full on the pads, Rovman Powell clips it straight to short mid-wicket and the batters set off for a single. Prince Yadav picks up the ball and is caught between two thoughts - whether to throw the ball to the bowler or to go for the run out himself. He tries to do the first one but Digvesh isn't anywhere near the stumps. Then Prince just tries to run in and dislodge the bails with the ball in hand but ends up flicking it past the stumps as Green makes his way back.

Prince Yadav to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, OUT! RAGHUVANSHI IS GONE! This will raise a lot of eyebrows and will be debated about as well. Keeps the stumps in play, does Prince, on a good length. Angkrish Raghuvanshi nudges it off the front foot to the mid on region and looks to cross over. He is sent back from more than halfway as the mid on fielder is quick to get rid of the ball to the batting end. Raghuvanshi turns to scramble back but gets in the way of the throw as he changes direction, making a big U-turn. He dives to make his ground and the ball strikes his left foot. LSG are going upstairs, appealing for obstructing the field. The on-field umpires refer to the TV umpire, who feels that Raghuvanshi changed his direction intentionally and obstructed the field and is deemed out. Angkrish Raghuvanshi walks off the field and is absolutely fuming. Glum faces in the KKR dugout as they just cannot believe what happened out there.

LSG vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Kolkata Knight Riders edged out Lucknow Super Giants in a nerve-shredding Super Over finish after both teams were tied at 155 at the end of regulation play in a high-intensity IPL clash in Lucknow on Sunday. What followed was a contest defined by momentum swings, individual brilliance, and late drama.

LSG had pushed KKR to the limit in regulation time, restricting them to 155 for 7, largely thanks to a sensational five-wicket haul from Mohsin Khan. His spell dismantled the KKR top order and middle order, removing key batters including Ajinkya Rahane, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy. Despite Rinku Singh’s late burst of 83 not out, KKR looked below par at one stage.

In response, LSG’s chase never fully settled. Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram stitched a 57-run stand, but both fell at crucial moments, while the lower order struggled to finish the job despite getting close to victory. Mohammed Shami’s last-ball six off Kartik Tyagi forced the match into the first Super Over of the season.

In the Super Over, Sunil Narine turned the game decisively in KKR’s favour. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran on the first ball and later removed Aiden Markram, restricting LSG to just 1 for 2, the lowest Super Over score in IPL history.

Rinku Singh then finished the chase instantly with a boundary off the first delivery, sealing a famous win for KKR. His all-round impact, including four catches in the field, made him the standout performer of the night. The result lifted KKR to eighth on the table, while LSG slipped to the bottom after another narrow defeat.
