LSG vs KKR LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Mohsin Khan takes 5-fer, removes Cam Green as KKR stare down the barrel

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Spoke too soon! Once too often from the big Australian – and maybe he should have looked for less risky boundary options against LSG’s best bowler on the night. Ugly hoick across the line, slower one outfoxes him, sliced straight up for Pant to take very easily.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Good from Green. Goes after Mohsin. KKR need to get a move on with their best batting pair at the crease. They still have batting to come.

Next ball he goes again, and gets lucky as it lands in no man’s land.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed for KKR. Cam Green targets George Linde. First one is realtively full so he hammers it down the ground. Next ball, reads the over-correction, rocks back onto his back foot and clears midwicket with ease.

59/4 after 9 overs.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another wicket! KKR crumbling. Dug in short by Mohsin, Powell tries to hook, but catches just a little bit of glove and easily taken by Pant.

Mohsin has been terrific tonight, some performance from him thus far. KKR 31/4, in huge trouble.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Not a second to breathe at the moment! Powell knocks it to midwicket and Green sets off – never a run there, and he’s sent back. Prince Yadav has all the time in the world to run up and get an easy throw off, but he misses from point blank range! And to make matters worse, he is having some words with bowler Rathi – but that’s not on anybody except himself.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: What’s going on here! Innocuous end to the fifth over as a run-out misses the stumps, but it’s a lengthy review. According to the third umpire, Raghuvanshi has changed direction knowingly in order to block the ball – but that’s very harsh! You really can’t say he’s done that even as the ball hits him.

Given out, and he’s enraged. Demolishes a boundary cushion on the way out, and Abhishek Nayar is having his choice of words with the fourth official.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Miscued into the air – Rahane can’t clear the infield, Aiden Markram takes an easy catch, and Mohsin Khan has another!

KKR simply not getting enough shots away. Rahane perishes, Mohsin Khan has been in great form.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Better from Rahane! Was on 2*(10) but that’s an improvement. Lively pickup shot that he picks the bones out of to send towering over midwicket. Much more of that needed.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Soft wicket! Seifert finally gets some width from Mohsin but his feet go nowhere. It’s a waft at the ball, off the toe-end, and floats to cover inside the ring.

3/1 in 2 overs – KKR looking stuck!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Ready for action at Ekana! Shami steaming in. Will want an easrly wicket and to prevent a fast start.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: George Linde comes in for LSG. Interesting to see their batting order, more than anything.

LSG XI: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (c&wk), Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Mukul Choudhary, George Linde, Digvesh Rathi, Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav, Mohsin Khan

Impact: Himmat Singh, Akshat Raghuvanshi, Abdul Samad, Avesh Khan, Manimaran Siddharth

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: No changes for KKR as they bat first. Matheesha Pathirana still doesn’t come in.

KKR XI: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Tim Seifert (wk), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy, Ramandeep Singh, Kartik Tyagi, Vaibhav Arora

Impact: Manish Pandey, Finn Allen, Tejasvi Singh, Navdeep Saini, Varun Chakravarthy

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Toss goes the home captain’s way, no surprise that they opt to chase.

Team news next.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: He was the most destructive batter in IPL 2025, but has arguably been IPL 2026’s worst. Hardly any runs, at a strike rate of 82 – a player of Pooran’s pedigree, that is scarcely believable.

LSG have options – Matthew Breetzke is a bank of runs in the white ball formats, and could come in. But LSG’s problems run so deep with the bat that unless Breetzke truly explodes, it won’t feel like much of an upgrade.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Little over thirty minutes until the toss at the Ekana Stadium. It has been amongst the more bowling-friendly surfaces this season, and teams will be hesitant to bat first knowing that they could be behind the 8-ball early. With spin and a slight two-paced nature, it should also be a ground where players like Varun and Narine enjoy themselves.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: There is a lot to discuss with regards to what is going wrong for these two teams, but it’s worth considering what is going right as well. For LSG, the strength this season has been the fast bowling, in particular Prince Yadav having a breakthrough year. With Mohammed Shami also looking like his usual dangerous self and Mohsin Khan chipping in with some good performances, the desire will be to see Mayank Yadav back at his best, after the express seamer had a poor return to action in LSG’s previous game.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR’s issue has been a struggle to find balance in their team, always leaving some gap in their team that has emerged as a weakness and subsequently been targeted by their opposition. With a lack of fast bowling quality proving devastating, KKR do have a boost as they travel to Lucknow – Matheesha Pathirana joins the team, and brings a little bit of X-factor to the game.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Now a year and a half into his tenure as LSG captain, Rishabh Pant hasn’t pieced it together – whether as captain, but particularly as a batter. He has shuffled up and down the batting and struggled massively for any sort of success in scoring runs. Now with calls for him to move back down the batting order again, another shuffle could be in store – potentially allowing Nicholas Pooran to bat where he had such success last year.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: The first time these teams met in this season, it looked as if KKR would get a win with LSG running out of batters and needing close to 50 in the last three overs. But that was the match where Mukul Choudhary, a young man from Rajasthan with big faith from Justin Langer, announced himself. A remarkable array of sixes and a clutch gene right at the end, hammering a cover drive for six to give LSG the result – one of the IPL’s most memorable knocks.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: The table doesn’t make for pretty reading, that much is for sure. KKR finally earned a win but that took them only to three points, still in last place at the halfway point of the season. Their performances have been regularly subpar. LSG, meanwhile, had a decent start with two wins in their first three matches – but have since lost four games in a row, their batting looking like a shell of the quality it should be at. Both teams have lacked in particular areas, and also gotten tactical calls wrong. At the halfway stage, the playoff teams already have ten points – catching up will require something truly spectacular from here.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: It might be 9th vs 10th, but doesn’t mean it will be bereft of drama. The Ekana Stadium prepares to host a cracking contest.
