The remarkable stand, which came off just 24 balls, flipped the script and exposed KKR\u2019s struggles at the death.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Chasing 182, LSG were reeling at 128\/7 in 16 overs despite a composed 54 from Ayush Badoni. But Mukul, playing just his third IPL game, produced a sensational counterattack that will be remembered for years.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Mukul Choudhary\u2019s six-hitting blitz enters record books<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Mukul\u2019s innings was not just about impact but also about milestones. He smashed seven sixes \u2014 the most by an LSG batter while batting at No.7 or below. That tally also equals the record for the most sixes hit by any batter from that position in a successful IPL chase, matching Dwayne Bravo\u2019s feat for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians in 2018.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>As the pressure mounted, Mukul found an able ally in Avesh, and together they scripted history with their match-winning stand. The partnership not only sealed an unlikely victory but also highlighted LSG\u2019s growing dominance over KKR. This was LSG\u2019s fifth win in seven head-to-head meetings against KKR, including their third victory at Eden Gardens in four attempts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">ALSO READ:<\/span> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/ipl-2026-sanjiv-goenkas-emotional-hug-for-mukul-choudhary-goes-viral-after-lsg-win-watch\/articleshow\/130156579.cms\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Sanjiv Goenka\u2019s emotional hug for Mukul Choudhary goes viral after LSG win \u2014 Watch<\/a><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">KKR falter at the death again<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Facing <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/cameron-green\/66870\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Cameron Green<\/a> in the penultimate over, Mukul smashed two sixes and a four to swing momentum.
