In a closely contested match during IPL 2026, Mohsin Khan delivered a stellar performance for Lucknow Super Giants, claiming 5 wickets for 23 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders. His disciplined bowling helped reduce KKR to 73 for 6, but despite his efforts, LSG lost in a Super Over. Former T20 World Cup winner Carlos Brathwaite praised Mohsin's bowling technique, particularly his ability to maintain a consistent length and attack the pitch effectively. Sanjay Bangar, former India batter and coach, noted the scarcity of left-arm seamers in Indian cricket, suggesting that selectors should keep a close eye on Mohsin's development as he possesses the potential to be a standout player. Mohsin made his IPL debut in 2022, taking 14 wickets in nine matches, but injuries have hindered his progress. LSG will take a break before their next match against Mumbai Indians on May 6 at Wankhede Stadium.
