LSG vs KKR, IPL 2026: Rinku Singh leaves his stamp on dramatic contest before Shami forces Super Over – Action in Images
One of the most exciting matches of the year, as a topsy-turvy match headed all the way to a Super Over, but with plenty of drama preceding it in a low-scorer.
1/8
A clash between teams which started in the bottom two, but turned out to be one of the games in the year, just like their reverse fixture a couple of weeks earlier. On a low-scoring Bunsen burner in Lucknow, KKR limped to 155, but nearly managed to defend it before a heroic moment forced a Super Over. There, KKR got the points, and leapfrogged their way over LSG and MI alike.(PTI)
2/8
A heroic return for Mohsin Khan. Figures of 5/23, snapping through the entire KKR batting order, and dominating the bowling scorecard for LSG. The first 5-fer of the IPL season, and another claim at an Indian cap from one of its finest young fast-bowling talents.(PTI)
3/8
A controversial moment in the first innings – Angkrish Raghuvanshi was judged to have obstructed the field as he blocked a throw at the stumps on a run-out attempt. Was it intentional? To the only man whose decision mattered, the answer was yes – but a key talking point.(PTI)
4/8
Rinku Singh was the one saving grace for KKR. With wickets having collapsed, he played a patient first half of his innings. But it was his explosion at the death which made it all count. With a flurry of late sixes including four in the last over, Rinku reminded everyone why he is India's premier finisher of the generation, hammering 83*(51) to take the team to a competitive 155/7.(Hindustan Times)
