The IPL 2026 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders was a nail-biter, culminating in the season's first Super Over. KKR's young pacer, Kartik Tyagi, faced intense pressure while defending 17 runs in the final over. He bowled two above-waist-high full tosses to LSG's Himmat Singh, which typically would lead to a bowler's suspension. However, due to Clause 41.7 of the IPL Playing Conditions, Tyagi was allowed to continue as the deliveries were deemed 'unfair' but not 'dangerous'. The umpires confirmed that the second full toss did not pose a risk of injury, allowing Tyagi to finish the over. Despite conceding runs, he managed to take a wicket and only allowed one run off the next two deliveries. The match concluded dramatically when Mohammed Shami hit a six off the final ball, leveling the score and forcing a Super Over.
