NEW DELHI: Following their 5-run victory over the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya praised pacer Mohsin Khan for his outstanding performance in the final over, in which he successfully defended 11 runs.
Kunal, who is leading LSG in the absence of regular captain KL Rahul, said Mohsin is a bowler with a “big heart”.
“I was having cramps, I pulled a muscle. I have always been a team player, anything for the team, so happy with the result,” Krunal said during post match presentation.

“Mohsin has a big heart. He had surgery and playing IPL after such a thing, the sky is the limit. It has not been easy for us, really happy to end on a good note here. Good to give them (fans) a win in this last game at this venue,” Krunal said.
Marcus Stoinis’s unbeaten knock 89(47)* and collective economical spells from Lucknow Super Giants bowlers sealed 5-run victory against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.
