KKR Edge Past LSG in Dramatic Super Over Thriller

In a gripping IPL 2026 encounter, Kolkata Knight Riders held their nerve to defeat Lucknow Super Giants in a tense Super Over clash at the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow. Both teams finished tied at 155, but it was Sunil Narine who turned the game on its head with a sensational Super Over spell.

Defending a minimal total, Narine dismissed Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram, conceding just one run—the lowest Super Over score in IPL history. Rinku Singh then sealed the win in style, smashing a boundary on the very first ball.

Earlier, Rinku anchored KKR’s innings with a brilliant unbeaten 83 off 51 balls, guiding his side to 155 despite regular setbacks. For LSG, Mohsin Khan delivered a standout bowling performance, claiming five crucial wickets.

Chasing 156, LSG looked in control with Rishabh Pant (42) and Markram building a solid partnership. However, quick wickets shifted momentum. A dramatic final over saw Mohammed Shami smash a last-ball six to force a Super Over.

The match also featured controversy as Angkrish Raghuvanshi was given out for obstructing the field—a rare and debated dismissal.

With this win, KKR climbed to eighth place, while LSG slipped to the bottom of the points table.
