One of the most incredible wins of IPL 2026 was snatched by Lucknow Super Giants and 21 year old Mukul Choudhary was at the forefront of it all. This win became even more special as his rise had been predicted a few days prior by Arjun Tendulkar. The Kolkata Knight Riders looked like they had the game under control after setting LSG a target of 181 on a flat Eden Gardens pitch. The chase started disastrously for the Super Giants as they had Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh dismissed within the first 4 overs. Rishabh Pant walked back to the pavilion in the 9th over which reduced the Super Giants to 73/3. Their woes amplified asAbdul Samad fell to take the score to 104/5. It was then that Mukul Choudhary walked in and blew the game wide open. Arjun Tendulkar's Prediction Goes Viral Before the start of IPL 2026 Arjun Tendulkar attended an interview on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube channel. When asked to mention an LSG player who could turn into a big star within the next 2 years, Arjun quickly nominated Mukul Choudhary without a second thought. "Mukul Choudhary bohot acche Chakke marte hai. Kal practice match mein main uske chakke dekhke bohot impress hua. (Mukul is an excellent hitter with the bat. Yesterday, in the practice match, I was really impressed by his six-hitting ability)".

The left-handed batsman stitched crucial partnerships with Ayush Badoni and Avesh Khan to keep the chase alive. Attacking the KKR bowlers like Navdeep Saini, Kartik Tyagi and Cameron Green, Mukul brought the pressure back on the hosts. The match went into the final over, and the Super Giants required 14 runs to win. Vaibhav Arora was handed over the ball, and could not hold his nerves. The first ball was smashed for a six which eased the pressure. Two dot balls followed, but Mukul found the width and blasted the next delivery high into the sky over a wide yorker to bring the scores level. The last ball from Arora saw Mukul and Avesh Khan sneak in a leg bye to secure a memorable victory for LSG. The stunning inning not only guided the Super Giants home but also put Mukul Choudhary on the map. Arjun Tendulkar's prediction of Mukul being someone to watch has now turned into an internet trend, with netizens admiring the MI player's acumen.
