During the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match no.59 between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), LSG pacer Akash Singh was excellent on the night he got his first game in the IPL 2026. This was his first game in a year, since he last played in 2025 in the same month of May.
Akash Singh picked up three wickets in the match and finished off with his best bowling figures of 4/26 in his four overs. The left-arm pacer picked the big wickets Ruturaj Gaikwad (13), Sanju Samson (20), and Urvil Patel (6). He has bowled excellent line and length, which impressed everyone in the commentary box, and also his owner MR. Sanjiv Goenka.
The note says it all- Sanjiv Goenka praises Akash Singh
Akash Singh, after picking up the first wicket of his former captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, brought out a note celebration. Gaikwad went for a pull shot and mistimed, hitting the higher part of the bat, and the ball went towards mid-on, and Nicholas Pooran took an easy catch.
After that, he brought out the note where it was written: “#Akki on fire – Akash knows how to take wickets in a T20 game.” He has been one of the finest talents in Indian cricket, but has not gotten enough chances and has also been inconsistent and injury-prone.
Sajiv Goenka tweeted on X (formerly Twitter), “Akash, three crucial wickets tonight. Well done. The note says it all, you showed exactly how to take those wickets in a T20 game. Keep at it, Akki. Proud of you.”
