IPL: In the player auction for the IPL 2026 season, when the Lucknow Super Giants team left the other franchises behind and spent Rs 2.60 crore for 21-year-old Mukul Chaudhary, everyone was a bit surprised. In the first two matches of this season, Mukul Chaudhary was not able to show any special feat with the bat. After this, the story completely changed in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders and Mukul Chaudhary proved why LSG spent such a huge amount to get him. At one time in the match against KKR, the defeat of Lucknow Super Giants team seemed certain, when while chasing the target of 182 runs, they lost their 7th wicket at the score of just 128 in the 16th over. From here, the way Mukul Chaudhary turned the entire match around and returned with an unbeaten inning of 54 runs with the help of 7 fours and 2 sixes in just 27 balls, giving victory to Lucknow Super Giants, is being praised everywhere.

Let us tell you that Mukul Chaudhary is a big fan of former Team India captain MS Dhoni since childhood.
