IPL 2026: Every season some new star emerges in IPL and this season a player has come before the world who has shaken the whole world with his batting. We are talking about Mukul Chaudhary who led Lucknow to victory by scoring unbeaten 54 runs in just 27 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders. Mukul Chaudhary hit 7 sixes in his innings and this player won the match for Lucknow on the last ball. There was a time when Lucknow was completely out of the match, it had to score 30 runs in the last 2 overs, the team was under pressure but Mukul Chaudhary did it easily. Mukul hit 4 sixes in the last 2 overs and the match went out of Kolkata's hands. Seeing the way Mukul Chaudhary played such an excellent inning under pressure, a question has arisen that will this player be seen in Team India soon?

Mukul Choudhary has guts

This is Mukul Chaudhary's first IPL season and he has played only 10 T20 matches in professional cricket, so it will be difficult for him to join Team India soon. However, if luck favors this can also happen. If Mukul Chaudhary makes Lucknow win 2-3 more matches like this, then the selectors will definitely keep an eye on him. Mukul Chaudhary can prove to be a very valuable player for Team India, because he can come at number 6 and number 7 and hit long sixes from the first ball. Choudhary's bat swing probably appears to be the fastest in the current IPL, which is making him more dangerous. Besides, the way he keeps himself calm under pressure also makes him different from other players.

Will Mukul Chaudhary come to Team India?

Apart from batting at number 6 and number 7, Mukul Chaudhary can also do wicketkeeping. Besides, he also has the ability to bowl medium pace. However, he has not bowled in professional cricket yet. But this art of wicket-keeping and medium pace bowling along with stormy hitting makes him a different package. Lucknow Supergiants head coach Justin Langer has also made a big claim regarding Mukul Chaudhary. He has said that he will make Mukesh the best Indian batsman at number 6 and number 7 in the next 4 months.
