Lucknow, April 27 -- Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Super Over in their IPL 2026 match at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday to remain alive in the race for the playoffs. Former cricketer Irfan Pathan lauded KKR spinner Sunil Narine for bowling a brilliant Super Over under pressure.

The 37-year-old Narine was called to bowl the Super Over for KKR when the scores were tied at 155 after 40 overs in the match. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran on the very first delivery of the over and got rid of Aiden Markram on the third delivery to finish their inning with just one run.

Rinku Singh hit the winning boundary to win the match for KKR as they registered their second victory of the season in eight matches.
