IPL 2026: Whatever performance I've had should convert into a win, says LSG's Mohsin Khan

Mohsin Khan takes 5-23, best figures in IPL 2026, as LSG restricts KKR to 155/7. The pacer credits fitness work and team plans for his performance.

"Whatever performance I've had should convert into a win - Mohsin Khan"

Lucknow, April 26

After picking a brilliant 5-23 for Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League 2026 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan said his only priority was to ensure his performances are converted into a victory for the side.

Mohsin's five-for, the best bowling figures in IPL 2026, helped LSG keep KKR to 155/7. "Right now, I'm only thinking that the team should win first. Whatever performance I've had should convert into a win, and our team should win. We will try to bat well too - winning is very important for us," Mohsin said to broadcasters after his spell at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium.

He also confirmed that he was fully fit and credited his off-season work with trainer Soham Desai for keeping him in shape. "I'm absolutely fine, fully fit. I've worked really hard, especially in the off-season with our trainer, Soham bhai. My body feels good, and everything is going well," he said.

Mohsin explained how he executed the team's plans, particularly against individual batters, and how variations on the slow surface brought him success. "Whatever we discussed with Rishabh bhai and the plans we made for each batsman, I tried to follow exactly that.

"I read the pitch, and I felt that if I bowled a slower ball, it would hold up a bit. I sensed a shot was coming, so I changed the pace, and that got me the wicket. I'm focusing on my body, just trying to stay fit and healthy and keep playing matches. That's all," he said.

Despite LSG conceding 55 runs in overs 17-20, Mohsin remained confident about the team's chances of winning the game. "We bowled good overs. Maybe a few runs came in the last one or two overs, but we're going to win today. The score is decent."

What a comeback story! Mohsin was injured for so long, and now he's back with a fifer. His work with Soham bhai in the off-season is really showing. But honestly, LSG's death bowling is still a concern - 55 runs in the last 4 overs is too much. Need to fix that for playoffs.

Impressive discipline from Mohsin. He read the pitch perfectly and adjusted his pace accordingly. That slower ball dismissal was classic left-armer's craft. But 155 is chaseable on any given day - LSG batting needs to step up now. Rooting for them!

Mohsin's humility is refreshing. He's not taking credit, just says 'whatever plan Rishabh bhai made, I followed it.' That's pure team player mentality. But let's also appreciate Soham Desai's work - getting a fast bowler fit in IPL is no joke. 💪

Great spell, but I hope LSG's batsmen don't take this lightly. Mohsin did his job perfectly - now it's time for the top order to repay the bowlers. KL Rahul and co. need to show some intent on this slow wicket. Come on Lucknow!

One criticism though - why did LSG concede so many in the death overs? Mohsin's fifer is great, but if they can't close out games, it's pointless. The score is chaseable but not a cakewalk. Let's see if the batters have learned from previous chases. Yaar, IPL tension hai!
