A Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star bowled a magnificent spell in the Eliminator of the UP T20 League in Lucknow. He stepped up when it mattered the most for his team and churned out a match-winning performance in a must-win encounter.
Mohsin Khan, the left-arm pacer of Lucknow Super Giants, took as many as four wickets while conceding only 20 runs in his three-over spell. He generated extra bounce off the deck by taking full use of his height and troubled the batters with his sharp bowling.
He dismissed Almas Shaukat, Yashovardhan Singh, Prince Yadav, and Abhishek Yadav to complete a four-fer to take his team to the next stage. The batters tried to hit him at times but couldn’t get their timing right and kept losing their wickets one after another.

A few of them were undone by the extra bounce into the body, to which they had no answers and played in awkward positions. Overall, Mohsin’s figures in the end read 3-0-20-4 and was the best bowler in the game, winning the Player of the Match award for his fabulous effort with the ball.
