Mohsin Khan, LSG: In IPL 2026, not only the batsmen but also the bowlers like Mohsin Khan are dominating. After being out of the last 3 seasons of IPL, tall Mohsin Khan made a comeback in IPL 2026 and on the basis of his performance here, he is showing his desperation to make a place in Team India. Mohsin Khan has taken 9 wickets in 4 matches played so far in IPL 2026. In this match alone, he took 5 wickets against KKR. Even while bowling against KKR, this left-arm bowler bowled wicket maiden in the same way as he did against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. This shows that his performance is not only sharp but also has consistency.
Selectors should keep an eye on Mohsin- Sanjay Bangar
In just 4 matches of IPL 2026, Mohsin Khan has shown such magic with his balls that rumors of his entry in Team India have started. Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bagad has said that the selectors should keep an eye on him. We will come to Sanjay Bangar’s logic behind this. But, before that, let us talk about those 3 people who brought Mohsin Khan back to life.
Injury surrounded after IPL 2022, Sanjeev Goenka supported
Mohsin Khan was away from the glamor of Indian cricket since IPL 2022. The reason behind this was his surgery. After IPL 2022, he felt pain in his left shoulder. At first he ignored it considering it to be trivial but when things did not work out, he took him to the doctor at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai. There the doctor told Mohsin Khan that if he had delayed for one more month, he would have had to amputate his bowling arm.
Mohsin Khan’s last option was operation, which was costly. In such a situation, the question was how to get the surgery done? In this difficult time, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka helped Mohsin Khan a lot. He not only got his surgery done from a good doctor but also retained him in his team LSG.
Coach Badruddin Siddiqui groomed him and made him worthy.
His coach Badruddin Siddiqui played a big role in the development of Mohsin Khan, who had honed him at the age of 12-13. Badruddin Siddiqui is also the coach of Mohammed Shami. When he saw Mohsin for the first time, he saw his second Shami in him.
Mohsin is dominant after following Shami’s advice
The third major contribution in the career of Mohsin Khan has also been from Mohammed Shami. Both the players were living in Amroha during the lockdown. During that time Shami had told Mohsin that your height and body are fine but this alone will not do. To progress in cricket, you also have to take care of the exact line length. Where to hit the ball is very important to unsettle the batsman. Mohsin Khan understood Shami’s words very well and today see that his amazing work continues in IPL 2026. The big thing is that Shami is also with him in LSG.
Why can you get a chance in Team India?
Now the question is why Mohsin Khan can get a chance in Team India? One reason for this is his performance in IPL 2026. Apart from that, India has many left-handed batsmen but no bowlers. Arshdeep Singh is the only left arm Indian bowler. Sanjay Bagad has asked the Indian selectors to keep an eye on Mohsin because he is influential. They get extra bounce. He can hit the same length again and again. Overall, all the qualities required to become a great left arm fast bowler are visible in Mohsin.
