Mohsin Khan's 5/23 vs KKR — Career-Best Spoiled by a Final-Ball Six

Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders

26 April 2026

Mohsin Khan produced career-best figures of 5/23 against KKR at Ekana on 26 April 2026 — the LSG left-arm seamer's first IPL five-for. The bowling effort was eventually overshadowed by Mohammed Shami's final-ball six and Sunil Narine's Super Over for KKR, but the spell will stand in Mohsin's career as the night he announced himself as a death-overs specialist.
