Mukul Choudhary scored an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, helping Lucknow Super Giants chase 182 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. The innings capped years of effort beginning in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu. Originally a medium-fast bowler, Choudhary transitioned to batting after becoming a wicketkeeper. Family support enabled his progression through academies in Sikar and Jaipur, eventually leading to his IPL auction pickup for Rs 2.60 crore.
