LSG vs KKR IPL 2026: Mohsin Khan took a five-fer during LSG's IPL 2026 match against KKR. He is now the third bowler from the team to achieve a five-wicket haul. Mohsin registered impressive figures of 5/23 in his four overs. This was the second-best bowling performance for any team. Mark Wood holds the best record against the Delhi Capitals, with 5/14 in IPL 2023.
Mohsin made a significant impact. He took Tim Seifert's wicket in his first over and then dismissed KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane. In his third over, he claimed Rovman Powell's wicket with a rising bouncer, which touched Rishabh Pant's glove.
In his final over, Mohsin took two consecutive wickets, first dismissing Cameron Green and then Anukul Roy, completing his five-wicket haul and achieving his best bowling figures.
Mohsin set a new mark for left-arm Indian fast bowlers. He surpassed Jaydev Unadkat's previous record of 5/25 against Delhi Daredevils while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Mohsin's 5/23 is his best in the shortest format. He rattled KKR's batting by taking crucial wickets: Rahane, Seifert, Green, Powell, and Roy.
Rinku Singh scored 83* off 51 balls and hit a brilliant half-century. He took Mohammed Shami to the cleaners during the 19th over, forcing 6, 4, and 4. Later, he hit four consecutive sixes off Digvesh Rathi, helping the team post a target of over 150 runs.

Rinku was KKR's lone standout while Mohsin commanded the spotlight.
Mohsin's plan was simple: aim for the black soil surface. This surface produces extra bounce at different speeds, giving opposition batters a tough time.
Mohsin began with a wicket maiden and displayed variety in two of his wickets.
