KKR stun LSG in Super Over as Rinku, Narine star in IPL 2026 thriller
Kolkata Knight Riders edge Lucknow Super Giants in a dramatic Super Over after regulation ends tied; Rinku Singh shines with 83 and Narine delivers in the clutch.
In IPL 2026, a high-octane clash at BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow produced the first Super Over of the season, with two teams at the bottom of the standings producing a dramatic finish. The night belonged to Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants as the game went to a Super Over after a regulation finish that kept fans on the edge.
LSG looked on track in the chase, but Sunil Narine turned the game with the ball, removing Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram and keeping the chase tight to a single run in the critical stretch before the Super Over. Rinku Singh then showed why he's considered a match-winner, remaining unbeaten on 83 and sealing the chase with a boundary to finish the game in regulation time.
The Super Over proved decisive as Narine struck again, delivering a pivotal spell while LSG could muster just one run. KKR chased the target in the Super Over to clinch the victory and move up the standings.
The win gives KKR a much-needed spark early in IPL 2026, while LSG will hope to rebound quickly as the league progresses.
