Kolkata, April 10: In the IPL 2026 match held at Eden Gardens, the cricketing world is buzzing with the name Mukul Chaudhary. After an exhilarating game between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Chaudhary’s remarkable performance stole the spotlight.
Mukul played a stunning innings, scoring an unbeaten 54 runs off just 27 balls, which included seven magnificent sixes. His ability to hit sixes and finish the match reminded fans of former Indian captain MS Dhoni.
Emulating his idol, Mukul executed the famous helicopter shot, a signature move of Dhoni.
After the match, Mukul shared insights into his six-hitting prowess, stating, “My body is a bit stronger, and it comes naturally to me. I practice hitting 100-150 sixes every day, which helps increase the bat’s speed. I’ve been training hard for the past five to six months, and it’s reflected in my game.”
Regarding the helicopter shot, he mentioned, “I have practiced that shot since childhood. I have always admired how Dhoni finishes innings. He hits sixes even on yorkers. If you can hit a six on such deliveries, bowlers start thinking differently.”
LSG coach Justin Langer expressed his delight at Chaudhary’s performance, stating, “He has the potential to reach even greater heights. He is very young, and there is a spark in his eyes. He is hungry for success. When you first enter the scene, you work hard, and this could be a significant moment in his life and career.”
Previously, Langer had mentioned that he could transform Chaudhary into India’s most intimidating number 6 or 7 batsman within four months.
Uncapped Mukul was bought by LSG for ₹2.6 crore during the mini-auction for IPL 2026, based on his impressive domestic cricket performance.
