IPL 2026 — Mohsin Khan becomes third LSG bowler to pick five wickets in an innings

Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mohsin Khan picked five wickets on Sunday against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium in IPL 2026.

The left-arm pacer became only the third LSG bowler to claim a five-wicket haul. He ended his four over with figures of five for 23, making it the second-best spell for the franchise. The best figures for the side belong to England’s Mark Wood, who claimed five for 14 against Delhi Capitals in 2023.

Mohsin struck in his first over, removing Tim Seifert before nabbing Ajinkya Rahane in his second over. His third victim was Rovman Powell, who was undone by a bouncer and handed a faint edge off his glove to Rishabh Pant.

In his final over, Mohsin removed Cameron Green and Anukul Roy off successive deliveries to claim a career-best IPL haul.

Mohsin’s match figures were also the best by a left-arm Indian pace bowler, bettering the record held by Jaydev Unadkat for his five for 25 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Delhi Daredevils.
