IPL ki har season apni ek nayi kahaani, ek naya hero laati hai. Aur is baar, sabki nazar Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ke young gun Mukul Choudhary par hai! Jab match laga ki haathon se nikal chuka hai, tab is 'Dhoni fanboy' ne woh kar dikhaya jo sirf sapnon mein hota hai. Eden Gardens mein Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke against, Choudhary ne helicopter shot ka woh Masterclass dikhaya ki har kisi ke muh se bas ek hi baat nikli: Kya player hai bhai!
The Inner Story: Dhoni ka Chela, Langer ka Prophecy!
Khel toh Mukul Choudhary ki ragon mein daudta hai. Unke pita ka sapna tha ki unka beta cricketer bane, aur Mukul ne na sirf woh sapna poora kiya, balki use ek magical reality mein badal diya. IPL 2026 ki ek epic night, jab LSG ko lag raha tha ki haar pakki hai, tab Choudhary ne 27 balls par 54 runs thok kar KKR ke jabde se jeet cheen li. Aur unki inspiration? Koi aur nahi, India ke asli Finisher, MS Dhoni!
Press conference mein unhone bataya, "I have practised that shot since childhood." Jis helicopter shot se unhone Vaibhav Arora ko 17th over mein boundary ke paar bheja, woh unki bachpan ki mehnat ka nateeja tha. "I always liked that, and the way Dhoni finished [an innings]. He used to hit a six even off a yorker. If you even hit that kind of a delivery for six, the bowler thinks about doing something different." Choudhary ke words mein Dhoni ki legacy saaf jhalakti hai. Jab 54 runs 24 deliveries mein chahiye the aur LSG ke 7 wickets gir chuke the, tab Choudhary ne tail-enders ke saath milkar yeh Gamechanger performance di. Pehli paanch balls par sirf ek run, lekin uske baad jo hua, woh itihas ban gaya. Agli 22 balls par 53 runs! Ismein shamil the 7 sixes aur sirf do fours.
Apni six-hitting ability par Mukul Choudhary ne kaha, "My body is a little powerful, and that has come to me naturally. I also practise hitting 100-150 sixes every day, so the bat speed develops if you keep doing it. I have been practising a lot for the last five to six months, so it has come into my game." Yeh dedication hi unhe baki sabse alag karti hai.
Mukul Choudhary ne apna talent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26 mein bhi dikhaya tha, jahan unhone Rajasthan ke liye Delhi ke against 26 balls mein 62* runs thoke the, including 7 sixes, aur 176 ka chase karwaya tha. Us match mein unhone apne current LSG team-mate Ayush Badoni ko six maarkar match finish kiya tha. Poore tournament mein unhone 173 runs banaye, average 57.66 aur strike rate 198.85 ke saath. Is Dominance ko dekh kar LSG ne unpar INR 2.6 crore ka daav khela. Aur unke coach, Justin Langer, ne toh keh hi diya tha ki woh Choudhary ko "the scariest No. 6 or No. 7 batter in India" bana denge char mahine mein. Langer ka yeh prediction ab sach hota dikh raha hai!
Choudhary ne Langer ke shabdon par kaha, "When a big coach like him says something like that about you, I'm sure he has seen something in you. He showed faith in me, so it was my time to repay it. During practice, he spends 10-15 minutes exclusively with me every day. Whatever he taught me turned out to be helpful. So I just did my job after he trusted me to do it." Yeh partnership hi Mukul ki success ka raaz hai. Match ke baad, Langer ne bhi Choudhary ki tareef karte hue kaha, "He's so young, and he's got that look in his eyes. He's hungry. You know when you first come in, you try so hard, and [this victory will] just be a massive moment in his life and his career."
