Mohsin Khan's 5/23 vs KKR — Career-Best Spoiled by a Final-Ball Six

26 April 2026Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight RidersIPL 2026, 38th Match — Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders1 min readSeverity: Mild

Summary

Mohsin Khan produced career-best figures of 5/23 against KKR at Ekana on 26 April 2026 — the LSG left-arm seamer's first IPL five-for. The bowling effort was eventually overshadowed by Mohammed Shami's final-ball six and Sunil Narine's Super Over for KKR, but the spell will stand in Mohsin's career as the night he announced himself as a death-overs specialist.

What Happened

Mohsin attacked the stumps from the first ball of his spell and was rewarded with early wickets. The five-for came off length deliveries, slower-ball bouncers, and the kind of nip-back that left-arm seamers can produce at fast-medium pace. By the time he had finished his quota, LSG looked to have set up a clear win.

The reversal — Shami's final-ball six off Tyagi to tie regulation play, and Narine's surgical Super Over — overshadowed Mohsin's effort in the post-match coverage. But 5/23 in IPL T20 cricket is a career-shaping spell, and Mohsin will return to it as a marker for years to come.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Leads IPL 2026's Impact Charts at 15 — Year of the Sequel

Rajasthan Royals

5 May 2026

A year after becoming the youngest centurion in IPL history at 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi spent the IPL 2026 league phase doing something even harder: leading the tournament's batting impact charts as a 15-year-old. By the end of the league stage, Suryavanshi sat on 499.91 batting impact points and 404 actual runs — the highest impact score of the season, ahead of established internationals — and Rajasthan Royals had built a top-four campaign almost entirely around him.

Alan Isaac — The Chartered Accountant Who Became ICC President

International Cricket Council

1 July 2012

Alan Isaac is the New Zealand chartered accountant who became President of the International Cricket Council in 2012, an unusually direct route from a Wellington accountancy practice to the most senior elected office in world cricket. Isaac served as ICC President from 2012 to 2014 and is one of the very few cricket administrators in modern times whose primary professional background was in accountancy and corporate governance rather than in playing or coaching.

Sunil Gavaskar's 6,000 Test Runs — The 1981 Milestone on the Road to 10,000

India

1 March 1981

Sunil Manohar Gavaskar reached 6,000 Test runs in 1981, during India's home season — a milestone that placed him among the very small group of batters who had ever reached the figure to that point and that confirmed his trajectory toward the 10,000 mark he would eventually become the first batter in Test history to cross. The 6,000-run milestone is a less-celebrated cricket landmark than the 10,000 he reached in 1987, but it was the moment Gavaskar's career arc became unambiguously historic.
