Mukul Choudhary recalls father’s sacrifice after Eden Gardens heroics

Kolkata, April 11(UNI) For young wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary, who lit up the Eden Gardens with a match-winning half century for Lucknow Super Giants against Kolkata Knight Riders in Thursday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 contest, it meant much more than just two points for his team but a reminder of the sacrifices his father made to help him chase his cricketing dreams.
Choudhary was the standout performer at the Eden Gardens, smashing an unbeaten 54 off just 27 deliveries, including seven sixes and two fours, to guide LSG to a thrilling three-wicket win. His innings came at a crucial juncture, with the side reeling at 128/7 and seemingly out of the contest before he turned the game around with a composed yet explosive finish.
The knock drew parallels with his earlier exploits in domestic cricket, where he had orchestrated a similar chase for Rajasthan against Delhi in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, underlining his growing reputation as a finisher.
