LSG vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Rinku Singh settles Super Over, caps man of the match display in rollercoaster thriller
Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders Highlights, IPL 2026: A low-scoring spectactular in Lucknow! Defending 155, KKR seemed at various stages to have won it before Shami hammered a last-ball six to force a Super Over. Sunil Narine delivered, and Rinku Singh with the winning runs.
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Second half of Super Sunday takes us back to the foot of the IPL 2026 table. It has been a campaign to forget for KKR and LSG alike thus far – Kolkata finally got their first win as they benefitted from a dropped catch to get over the line against RR, while after a winning start, LSG have dropped like a stone with four consecutive losses in their recent matches....Read More
At 9th and 10th in the table, the two teams have had campaigns to forget thus far. They are a far ways off from the playoff picture – and most would argue that they are already out of the running, with the quality of teams at the top of the table. But one thing the IPL continues to prove is that it's never too late while a mathematical possibility exists.
Nevertheless, a massive effort will be needed from the two teams to find the motivation and the consistency in performances. All of that will start as the teams get their campaigns started at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. KKR are coming in after a solid break, a week off after their first win, in which they team can take the momentum from a result and find real clarity in terms of what the team needs to achieve.
For LSG, the four match losing skid is certainly a massive concern. The players they have in their unit are not delivering to their potential, but there are still bright sparks – particularly in the bowling, where Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav have been in top form, and ensured that they have a semblance of competitiveness.
This match provides a chance for LSG to join the teams on six points and at least be within swinging distance, while for KKR, getting a win is already non-negotiable.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Himmat Singh squeezes four away! That's a good shot but LSG would have wanted to get within 15 – now it's Shami on strike with 17 to get. He either needs to get six to start the over or turn it over to Himmat Singh as quickly as possible.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GONEEEE!!! Pooran falls cheaply again

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Pooran connects for six! Better
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: That one he gets a hold of! Wide of off-stump, but it's a safe shot with no fielder on the boundary. No fielder was stopping that anyway. Fetches him six – and important one too, will give him a lot of confidence.
- 26 Apr 2026, 10:39:00 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GONE! Rishabh Pant falls on 42 trying to accelerate
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: HUGE MOMENT! Rishabh Pant tries to pull ot the reverse sweep but can only get glove on it – sneaks through to Seifert, who makes the grab on his second attempt. Umpire initially unmoved, but it's a good review – brushes his glove and he's gone!
78/3 now – the pressure is on! Are KKR ahead now?

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Required rate creeps above 10 – 82 needed from 48

- 26 Apr 2026, 10:24:43 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: PRESSURE TELLS! Green breaks partnership, Markram caught by Rinku!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: This won't be easy. One of these two needs to take the responsibility for a big over soon. THey are well set and have their eye in – they should be able to target one of the change bowlers here.
- 26 Apr 2026, 10:13:54 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Six for Markram! Important hit
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: The run-rate was stagnating, important to get some movement going again with a big hit. Markram gets one on length that doesn't turn much from Chakravarthy, and hammers it over long-on.
Still going at about run-a-ball, though.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: LSG score 37/1 off powerplay

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rishabh Pant! More of the please

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: STUNNING CATCH! Marsh gone early
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rovman Powell! Recovers so well – it's sent high into the air and Powell doesn't read it well, but tracks it, and reacts so well to pivot and grab it with two hands to send Mitchell Marsh back!
He's hurt himself – a lot of injuries with fielders hitting the ground hard in the last couple of days. Hopefully he recovers well.
KKR are well and truly in this.
- 26 Apr 2026, 09:36:24 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Marsh and Markram step out to open for LSG
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Mitch Marsh and Aiden Markram coming in to open for LSG, who keep chopping and changing – back to what should nominally work the best. Spin early on to target their weakness.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 155/7 – Rinky finishes on 83*(51)
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: What a crucial knock right at the death from Rinku Singh. Without him, they were probably looking at 110-120. His single-handed effort gives the bowling unit something to bowl at in the second innings.
- 26 Apr 2026, 09:17:52 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SIX MORE AND SIX AGAIN! What an innings from Rinku
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: AND AGAIN! Walks across, gets all of that one, no doubt about it to clear mid-on again!
Next ball Digvesh overpitches to provide a full-toss, and he has gotten all of that again! Four sixes in a row! Can he repeat and get five once again?

- 26 Apr 2026, 09:16:36 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 6! Rinku punches back at LSG
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed! Rinku Singh gets the better of Digvesh a couple of time s-- first just clears long on, then clears the extra cover fielder who is fielding a few metres in from the boundary to prevent the two to the longer side!
- 26 Apr 2026, 09:10:46 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 4, 4 – Rinku reaches fifty!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed little flurry of boundaries from Rinku Singh! Keeps finding himself in situation where he needs to reconstruct, but he has been doing it well. Goes after the bowling of Shami to take KKR to 129/7 with an over left to play. Can Rinku get 15-20?

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 100/7 with 4 overs to play

- 26 Apr 2026, 08:51:26 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Regular wickets! Ramandeep holes out
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Just ot enough power on it! Ramandeep tries to clear long on against the turn of Linde, and never has enough pop behind it. Comfortable catch for Marsh in the deep.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: FIVE-FER FOR MOHSIN KHAN! WHAT A PERFORMANCE
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Last ball of his spell and he has a fifth wicket! Another soft one as Anukul Roy clips it straight to midwicket inside the ring – but Mohsin has deserved this. He has come roaring back to make his re-introduction to the IPL, and this 5-fer has been him at his absolute best! Some performance, and KKR are in huge trouble at 73/6.

- 26 Apr 2026, 08:29:56 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GREEN GONE! Four for Mohsin
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Spoke too soon! Once too often from the big Australian – and maybe he should have looked for less risky boundary options against LSG's best bowler on the night. Ugly hoick across the line, slower one outfoxes him, sliced straight up for Pant to take very easily.
- 26 Apr 2026, 08:27:04 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Six more! Green keeps motoring
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Good from Green. Goes after Mohsin. KKR need to get a move on with their best batting pair at the crease. They still have batting to come.
Next ball he goes again, and gets lucky as it lands in no man's land.

- 26 Apr 2026, 08:20:07 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 6! Green counterpunches
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed for KKR. Cam Green targets George Linde. First one is realtively full so he hammers it down the ground. Next ball, reads the over-correction, rocks back onto his back foot and clears midwicket with ease.
59/4 after 9 overs.
- 26 Apr 2026, 08:08:47 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: BAD TO WORSE! Mohsin's third, Powell falls
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another wicket! KKR crumbling. Dug in short by Mohsin, Powell tries to hook, but catches just a little bit of glove and easily taken by Pant.
Mohsin has been terrific tonight, some performance from him thus far. KKR 31/4, in huge trouble.

- 26 Apr 2026, 08:05:11 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: PRINCE YADAV MISSES A RUN-OUT FROM TWO FEET!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Not a second to breathe at the moment! Powell knocks it to midwicket and Green sets off – never a run there, and he's sent back. Prince Yadav has all the time in the world to run up and get an easy throw off, but he misses from point blank range! And to make matters worse, he is having some words with bowler Rathi – but that's not on anybody except himself.
- 26 Apr 2026, 08:02:53 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: RAGHUVANSHI GIVEN OUT FOR OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: What's going on here! Innocuous end to the fifth over as a run-out misses the stumps, but it's a lengthy review. According to the third umpire, Raghuvanshi has changed direction knowingly in order to block the ball – but that's very harsh! You really can't say he's done that even as the ball hits him.
Given out, and he's enraged. Demolishes a boundary cushion on the way out, and Abhishek Nayar is having his choice of words with the fourth official.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another for Mohsin! Rahane gone
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Miscued into the air – Rahane can't clear the infield, Aiden Markram takes an easy catch, and Mohsin Khan has another!
KKR simply not getting enough shots away. Rahane perishes, Mohsin Khan has been in great form.
- 26 Apr 2026, 07:47:15 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: First six! Rahane connects
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Better from Rahane! Was on 2*(10) but that's an improvement. Lively pickup shot that he picks the bones out of to send towering over midwicket. Much more of that needed.

- 26 Apr 2026, 07:44:21 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GOT HIM! Seifert chips it straight to cover
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Soft wicket! Seifert finally gets some width from Mohsin but his feet go nowhere. It's a waft at the ball, off the toe-end, and floats to cover inside the ring.
3/1 in 2 overs – KKR looking stuck!
- 26 Apr 2026, 07:31:57 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Here we go! Rahane and Seifert vs Shami
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Ready for action at Ekana! Shami steaming in. Will want an easrly wicket and to prevent a fast start.
