LSG head coach Justin Langer praised uncapped batter Mukul Choudhary after he smashed 54*(27) in their IPL 2026 match against KKR, calling the 21-year-old a "real athlete". "The way he runs between the wickets is elite, like Virat [Kohli]. But the other thing is his game sense," he said. Langer added, "He has got power...and he has got grace."
