In the highly anticipated game of the IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) emerged victorious in the Super Over match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.

After suffering a loss in the match, LSG's skipper Rishabh Pant said, "See, I think we definitely need a break. I think we're gonna refresh, there is always pressure and it's gonna be pressure game always, but at the same time, we have to look for answers inside, not outside. And just keep it simple. Just take accountability, each and every guy. Like, it can't be about one or two guys. It has to be about the whole unit and a lot of people will take accountability for that for sure. (Pooran is out of form, what was the thought process behind sending him) We had a discussion as a group we had a discussion and the name came up was Nicholas Pooran. He might not go through the best form of his life, but at the same time, you will trust your player in a hard situation like this. They're gonna come up nicely. So, no excuses there. Just looking at the positive, there might not be enough positive right now, but I think after the break, there will be a lot of enough positive for sure. (Thoughts behind bowling Digvesh Rathi?) See, there are always time in cricket where you can turn a little bit of bowling at the same time. But sometimes bowlers got to bowl those hard overs. And there will be time when I have to give him that in middle overs because I was looking for a wicket. I just didn't get one. That was the thought process behind it. And too many minds doesn't make it easy on the ground".
