IPL 2022: Who is Mohsin Khan, LSG’s left-arm pacer who impressed in victory over MI

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is witnessing the rise of a number of young fast bowlers from India with Mukesh Choudhary from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Yasgh Dayal from Gujarat Titans (GT) already making the headlines and impressing with their talent and temperament.

The latest to join the burgeoning list of gifted local pacers in the tournament is Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Mohsin Khan, who bowled with aplomb at the start and then in the death overs against Mumbai Indians’ heavy-hitters to help his team win the match by 36 runs.

In his four-over spell, one of which was bowled in the powerplay and two in the death, against batters like Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard, Mohsin conceded just 27 runs besides picking up the wicket of dangerous Dewald Brevis.
