Mohsin Khan, a pacer for Lucknow Super Giants, showcased a stellar performance by claiming five wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium during the IPL 2026 match. This achievement made him only the third LSG bowler to achieve a five-wicket haul. Ending his four-over spell with figures of five for 23, Mohsin’s performance was the second-best in the franchise’s history, with the best belonging to Mark Wood who claimed five for 14 against Delhi Capitals in 2023.
Mohsin’s impressive display began early in the match, as he removed Tim Seifert and Ajinkya Rahane in his first two overs. He continued his dominance by dismissing Rovman Powell with a well-executed bouncer that resulted in a faint edge to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. In his final over, Mohsin added to his tally by getting rid of Cameron Green and Anukul Roy with consecutive deliveries, achieving a career-best IPL haul.
Not only did Mohsin’s performance stand out for LSG, but it also marked a milestone for left-arm Indian pace bowlers. His match figures surpassed the previous record held by Jaydev Unadkat for his five for 25 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Delhi Daredevils. Published on Apr 26, 2026, Mohsin’s remarkable achievement highlighted his prowess and contribution to Lucknow Super Giants’ success in the IPL.
