Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants, 15th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player HighlightsKKR vs LSG, 15th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player Highlights

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, byes, 1 run, LSG with the heist of heists. Look at the celebrations from them. Rathi runs out and hugs Mukul Choudhary. Avesh Khan is running away in delight - arms raised in triumph. Mukul has become the unlikely hero. Angkrish Raghuvanshi had the chance to become a Jos Buttler but he fails to hit direct and the game is done. It's a good delivery, short of length and across Mukul Choudhary outside off, who pulls and Raghuvanshi had the chance to hit direct, had he done so, Avesh could've been short. Yes as I watch it again. Avesh was just short with a direct-hit as he doesn't dive. The keeper tried the over-arm throw and got it wide of the stumps. The ball hits Mukul but by then the game was over. Replays show that Raghuvanshi had the right glove off and showed his disappointment when he missed. Meanwhile Mukul with folded hands looks heavenwards and prays. Avesh with a fist-pump. Russell and Pant both look heavenwards but with contrasting emotions. What a game. What a win for LSG. Two nights in a row - the IPL has produced thrillers. What an advertisement for the league

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, SIX, Mukul Choudhary you beauty! What a knock. 50 for him. The scores are level. Vaibhav Arora on his haunches. KKR fans can't believe what they are seeing. It's full and wide outside off, Mukul Choudhary gets across and lofts with such power, it flies over sweeper cover. Once it left the bat, it was six. Such was the hit. Talk about timing them. Mukul points at the heavens. Vaibhav with a disconsolate expression - wondering what more could've he done with that ball. Meanwhile Rahane claps and tries to encourage Vaibhav

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, no run, again superb bowling. This is fine bowling. Fires the yorker length and it's well outside off, Mukul Choudhary shuffles across and looks to scoop, misses, is nutmegged and it's a dot. Two dots and the equation shifts again

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, no run, beautiful yorker length delivery outside off, angling away from the right-hander, Mukul Choudhary drives and misses. Under the bat. Bowled to his left

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, SIX, Mukul Choudhary you beauty! This is a short of length delivery on off, he gets outside off slightly and belts the pull flat over deep backward square-leg. That was a poor delivery. Short boundary and it flies

Vaibhav Arora to Avesh Khan, 1 run, that's what LSG wanted. It's a short of length delivery on off, Avesh Khan goes on the back foot and tucks through the vacant mid-wicket area. Gives the strike back to Mukul Choudhary

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, SIX, wow! The Helicopter is out. And it has flown over long-on. Such a wristy and swag shot that is. It's a good ball too, full and following Mukul Choudhary outside the leg-stump, he brings out the helicopter and it has gone over the fence. Need such strong forearms

Vaibhav Arora to Mukul Choudhary, FOUR, Ramandeep charging to his left at deep square-leg gets a hand to it but it rolls away to the cushions, under the body as Ramandeep tried his best. A slower-ball and dug in short outside off, Mukul Choudhary gets forward and pulls hard and into the gap

Vaibhav Arora to Ayush Badoni, 1 run, short delivery down the leg-side, Badoni guides the pull to fine leg

Vaibhav Arora to Ayush Badoni, SIX, top edgeeee, man at fine leg and it just clears him. Fifth ball into the pitch this over. Badoni gets inside the line and tries the pull shot, top edge sails over the rope. Could have so easily been the third wicket of the over as well

Vaibhav Arora to Ayush Badoni, no run, short delivery down leg, Badoni looks to pull and misses. Btw, Badoni in as impact sub for Siddharth

Vaibhav Arora to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Angkrish Raghuvanshi!! This is a strangle down the leg-side. Not the best of balls as it was short and down the leg-side. Marsh tried to pull and gets the glove on it. Angkrish Raghuvanshi makes no mistake and Adrian Holdstock rightly raised the finger. Marsh wears a wry smile as he walks off. Very unfortunate for him. KKR have made a mega comeback and Vaibhav definitely seems to have a good understanding of what lengths to bowl. He is determied to bowl into the wicket and use this dry pitch. Mitchell Marsh c Angkrish Raghuvanshi b Vaibhav Arora 15(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Vaibhav Arora to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, short of length delivery on the off stump, flicked to square leg

Vaibhav Arora to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! It's the ball that's into the wicket that's got them the wicket. Look at Vaibhav Arora roar with a double fist pump. Short delivery, Markram thought he could deposit this deep beyond mid-wicket. But KKR had a man at the fence and the moment it went off the outer half of the bat, it didn't have the distance and holed out. Smart strategy from KKR to prise this wicket. Apart from that Saini over, they have actually been quite good. Aiden Markram c Rovman Powell b Vaibhav Arora 22(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

Vaibhav Arora to Aiden Markram, 1 run, full delivery on the stumps, Markram flicks to mid-wicket

Vaibhav Arora to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, pushed to mid-off

Vaibhav Arora to Mitchell Marsh, no run, it's more good length, it's tighter, so Marsh respects with a defence

Vaibhav Arora to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, Mitch Marsh attacks straightaway. What else you expect from him. Vaibhav dug this in and bowled a bit too short. The problem was the extra width available for Marsh to rock back and crack a nice cut shot off the back foot. Raced past point
