The Lucknow Super Giants and the Kolkata Knight Riders game was another thriller within the initial stages of the highly anticipated contest in the IPL 2026. Mukul Choudhary, whose name had no significance in IPL until yesterday, has made a name for himself as a finisher for the Super Giants.
Kolkata had done everything right until the final five overs of the innings and were at the edge of their first victory this season; however, no one was aware of a looming storm in the form of Mukul Choudhary, the 21-year-old young wicket-keeper batter from Rajasthan.
"In the last match, I could play just 4-5 balls. I wasn’t dismissed, but I couldn’t connect the ball, then I talked to Rishabh bhaiya, & he told me not to think too much.
"My favourite will always be the same one (MS Dhoni)." - Mukul Choudhary
The role of a wicketkeeper-batter finishing off games in some style is not something new to the Indian fans. Someone had done this for India over nearly two decades, while he has been doing that for the Chennai Super Kings to date.
"My favourite will always be the same one (MS Dhoni); I mean, he's an idol in a way—we've always looked up to him," he explained.
"I've learned so many things from bhaiya (Rishabh Pant) too. The confidence he showed in me, and how he's always been explaining things to me, right from the first day he saw me. Every time, in every session, he talks to me and just says: trust yourself, I trust you, and that's it," the LSG star added.
Mukul Choudhary is another outcome of some stunning scouting by LSG
Despite that, LSG's scouts have done a fantastic amount of work in recognizing unique talents from several domestic platforms in India. They have brought to light the likes of Ayush Badoni, who has been part of the franchise since season 1.
The batter had a promising season for Rajasthan in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he amassed 280 runs off 10 matches. He has now scored an IPL half-century in a winning cause just within 3 matches of his debut.
