Mukul Choudhary a ‘fearless prodigy’
IPL 2026: Mukul Choudhary delivered a stunning 25-ball half-century in his third IPL appearance, guiding Lucknow Super Giants to a remarkable victory against Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite his team's struggles, Choudhary's explosive hitting in the final overs secured a memorable win, drawing praise from Sunil Gavaskar as a 'fearless prodigy'.
Mukul Choudhary, a 21-year-old cricketer, delivered a statement performance in just his third IPL appearance, smashing a 25-ball half-century to pull off a remarkable win for against at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The innings has quickly put in the spotlight, with fans searching widely for the young batter after his match-winning effort.
When Mukul Choudhary walked in to bat, Lucknow Super Giants were struggling at 104 for 5 in the 13th over while chasing 182. The situation worsened as they slipped to 125 for 6 and then 128 for 7. Mukul Choudhary himself was on just 2 off eight balls at one stage, with the chase appearing to drift away.
Mukul Choudhary flips the chase: From 2 off 8 to match-winner
With 54 needed off the last 24 balls, Mukul Choudhary turned the match around almost single-handedly. His explosive hitting in the final overs sealed a memorable victory. Only one batter in IPL history, Kieron Pollard in 2013, has scored more than 50 runs in the last four overs of a successful chase, placing Mukul Choudhary’s knock among the most dramatic finishes the league has seen.
The innings has made Mukul Choudhary a talking point across cricket circles, with his calm start followed by a late surge under pressure standing out.
Sunil Gavaskar calls Mukul Choudhary a ‘fearless prodigy’
Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar heaped praise on Mukul Choudhary, describing the young batter’s effort as something special.
Speaking on Star Sports, JioStar expert Gavaskar said, “Unbelievable innings by this fearless prodigy, Mukul Choudhary. What I love about the IPL is that every day we get to see something different. We saw David Miller of Delhi Capitals play a fantastic knock and almost help his team get over the line against Gujarat Titans in the previous match, but that knock was played by a renowned World Cup star. Here, it is Mukul Choudhary, who stepped up and helped his side cross the finish line," he said.
Gavaskar went on to talk about Mukul Choudhary’s background and approach, pointing out how quickly he has made an impact. Mukul Choudhary, he said, is a young player who bats at number five for Rajasthan in domestic T20 cricket. He arrives in the IPL and produces an innings that gets everyone talking.

Gavaskar spoke about the composure Mukul Choudhary showed after arriving at the crease during a crisis. He said the youngster took his time, settled in properly and then began clearing the boundary with confidence. The way Mukul Choudhary executed his shots stood out, especially given the match situation.
"He even played the helicopter shot, which would have been very nostalgic seeing," he added.
That moment only added to the growing buzz around Mukul Choudhary, as fans linked the shot to one of the most iconic strokes in Indian cricket.
Gavaskar also reflected on the broader context of the match, calling the win an important one for Lucknow Super Giants. The side had been in serious trouble, but their younger players, led by Mukul Choudhary, pulled off a result that looked unlikely for most of the chase.
He pointed out that several key players failed to deliver. Mitchell Marsh did not score many runs, Aiden Markram managed only 22, while and Nicholas Pooran also struggled. Despite that, LSG found a way to win without depending on their main batters, something that marks a shift from last season when they leaned heavily on established names.
At the same time, Gavaskar highlighted concerns around Nicholas Pooran’s form. He said Pooran looked out of touch against KKR after being moved to the middle order to add firepower. Instead of timing the ball, he appeared to be swinging without control, which is not how he is usually seen. LSG, Gavaskar said, will need to help Pooran regain his confidence.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source
