Kolkata Knight Riders Triumph in Historic Super Over Thriller

Kolkata Knight Riders secured victory against Lucknow Super Giants in a historic Indian Premier League match where only one ball was needed in the Super Over to clinch the win. Rinku Singh's unbeaten 83 set the stage, with Sunil Narine delivering a decisive performance with the ball in the Super Over.

In a dramatic encounter that will be etched in Indian Premier League history, Kolkata Knight Riders edged past Lucknow Super Giants in the shortest Super Over ever recorded, clinching victory with just one delivery required.

Headlined by Rinku Singh’s stellar unbeaten 83, Kolkata set Lucknow a target of 156, which they matched off the last ball thanks to Mohammed Shami's six. Sunil Narine then single-handedly wrought havoc in the Super Over, conceding just one run and taking two wickets.
