‘Destiny is still in our hands’: Rovman Powell remains upbeat after KKR’s defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 | Cricket News

3 min readApr 10, 2026 07:30 AM IST The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) suffered their third loss of IPL 2026, going down in a last-ball thriller to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Eden Gardens on Thursday. The defeat left them with one point from four matches and ninth on the points table. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side may be struggling for form, but their West Indian all-rounder, Rovman Powell, remained optimistic about a turnaround. “If you look at IPL history, teams that win are the ones that peak in the middle and later stages. It’s not easy when you don’t start well, but our destiny is still in our hands. We still have games left. If we keep putting in the work, the results will come. Sometimes it’s not just about the result – tonight was a good game, we just ended up on the wrong side. But wins will come if we keep doing the right things,” he said after the match. Powell admitted that KKR had let an opportunity slip at home, while crediting …

The journey behind Mukul Choudhary’s 54*: A move, a setback, a shift | Cricket News

3 min readApr 9, 2026 11:56 PM IST On a humid Thursday night at Eden Gardens, Mukul Choudhary played the kind of innings young cricketers dream about. His unbeaten 54 off 27 balls helped Lucknow Super Giants chase down the 182-run target against Kolkata Knight Riders, clinching a tense win in the final over. It looked like a breakthrough moment. In reality, it was the result of years of quiet effort. Mukul grew up in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu, where serious cricket infrastructure is hard to come by. His father, Dalip Kumar Choudhary, always wanted him to pursue the sport, but didn’t quite know how to make it happen in the beginning. Money was tight, and opportunities were limited, but he kept looking for a way. That chance came when Mukul was sent to a cricket academy in Sikar. Back then, he was a medium-fast bowler, focused on making a mark with the ball. Batting was not the plan. But one day, the team needed a wicketkeeper. Mukul stepped in. It was a small moment at the …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 9, 2026 11:31 PM IST Mukul Choudhary helped Lucknow Super Giants pull victory out of the jaws of defeat and leave Kolkata Knight Riders winless after four matches in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) as they won a thriller by three wickets at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Choudhary finished unbeaten on 54 off 27 balls, almost single-handedly turning things around for LSG in their chase of a target of 182. KKR were dominant for much of the LSG chase. Vaibhav Arora’s double strike in the fifth over sent back LSG’s potent opening partnership of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Markram fell off the very first ball of the over, while Marsh departed off the third. Cameron Green then took the ball in his hands at last and struck almost straight away, dismissing LSG captain Rishabh Pant with his second ball in the ninth over. Ayush Badoni tried to give LSG impetus but KKR kept chipping away at the other end to stay in control. Badoni himself finally fell on …

3 min readApr 9, 2026 10:56 PM IST It’s difficult to win a game of cricket with 10 players. It’s even tougher to do so when two, who are also experienced internationals, don’t pull their weight. But that’s exactly what Kolkata Knight Riders are having to contend with. Ajinkya Rahane was peeved when his strike rate after the Powerplay was brought up during a recent press conference. A score of 41 in 24 balls – a strike rate of just over 170 – against Lucknow Super Giants may look alright, but isn’t quite so given the benchmark set by openers for other teams. Once his opening partner Finn Allen departed, the scoring settled into a pattern of rotation of strike punctuated with boundaries now and then, even in the Powerplay, as Angkrish Raghuvanshi too played similarly. In the current IPL, a score of anything less than 60 in the first six overs is unsatisfactory and KKR got 56 only after a 16-run over provided by Avesh Khan to round off the field-restriction period. After the …

Rishabh Pant ’empowers his bowlers’, is a ‘players-first captain’, says LSG spin bowling coach | Cricket News

2 min readApr 9, 2026 12:47 AM IST Rishabh Pant’s captaincy has earned praise from Lucknow Super Giants’ spin-bowling coach Carl Crowe. LSG face the Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday having won their last match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad to bounce back from the defeat they suffered before that to the Delhi Capitals. Crowe said that Pant empowers his bowlers as a captain. “I would say he definitely empowers his bowlers. He is very keen to hear their views in team meetings and is interested in understanding their perspectives and plans. Personally, I’ve really warmed to him,” he told reporters on the eve of the match against KKR. “One thing he does really nicely — it may seem small — is that when he enters the room as captain, he says ‘hello’ to every single person and shakes their hand. As a leader, that makes you feel welcome and that you belong, and I really like that about him.” Crowe said that Pant tries to guide bowlers as much as he can but he also …
