The fans had their jaws dropped after seeing the nail-biting blockbuster IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. LSG emerged victorious by 3 wickets in the thrilling match, thanks to the blinder of a knock from their young sensation Mukul Choudhary, who scored an unbeaten 54 off 27 deliveries, including two fours and 7 long and hard-hitting sixes. Chasing a challenging target of 182 runs, LSG were struggling at 128 for 7 in 16 overs. It was the duo of Mukul Choudhary and Avesh Khan batting the crease, trying to revive the match, which felt like slipping away from LSG’s hands. The equation looked tough but not practically impossible; LSG required 54 off the last four overs. The 21-year-old batter took the matter into his own hands and kept smashing sixes in style to his team to the winning line. The equation came down to 14 off the last 6 deliveries. Choudhary smashed two sixes in the last over off Vaibhav Arora, especially that one six using his powerful wrist over deep covers for a six. He missed the last ball, but Avesh Khan was already ready, the duo ran for the bye and sealed the losing match.
