Lucknow Super Giants speedster Mohsin Khan produced a stunning Mohsin Khan maiden wicket over on Tuesday night, completely silencing the Rajasthan Royals' teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. In a match that showcased high velocity and tactical discipline, the 15 year old opener was kept scoreless for six consecutive deliveries before eventually losing his wicket in the first innings at Lucknow.

This rare feat was particularly impressive given Sooryavanshi’s reputation as an ultra aggressive batter who maintains a career strike rate of 213. Mayank Yadav Returns as Lucknow Super Giants Bowl Against Rajasthan Royals

TACTICAL ANALYSIS: HOW MOHSIN CRACKED THE CODE

Mohsin Khan began his assault with a back of a length delivery at 141ks, forcing the youngster to defend cautiously towards backward point. The pressure mounted as the pacer followed up with precise lines that pinned the Rajasthan Royals batter deep in his crease, preventing him from getting his front foot across.

By the fourth ball, the Lucknow crowd was on its feet as Mohsin Khan consistently clocked speeds above 140ks without allowing any room for the batter to swing. The pacer used a clever wobble ball on the fifth delivery that nearly found the outside edge, leaving the aggressive opener visibly rattled.

THE TURNING POINT OF THE MATCH

The final ball of the over provided the perfect climax to this defensive masterclass when the frustrated batter finally attempted a big hit over long on. The fullish length ball rose sharply at 142ks, taking the outer half of the bat and sending a high catch toward the infield.

Rathi judged the high ball perfectly while running back from cover to complete the dismissal, ending the teenager's innings for 8 off 11 balls. It was a jubilant moment for the Lucknow Super Giants, as Mohsin Khan celebrated the first maiden over ever played out by the young prodigy in his IPL career.
