In the world of cricket, stories of resilience are many, but few match the sheer grit shown by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Mohsin Khan. While he made headlines in IPL 2026 by bowling a maiden over in his very first spell, few know that just a couple of years ago, he was on the verge of losing his left arm.

After a stellar 2022 season, Mohsin was diagnosed with a rare aneurysm in his left shoulder, which blocked blood flow to his hand. The condition was so critical that surgeons at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital feared they might have to amputate his bowling arm. It took 450 days of intense rehabilitation, physical pain, and mental trauma before he could hold a cricket ball again.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Mohsin proved his mettle once more, conceding only 24 runs in his 4-over spell, including a brilliant maiden. Although LSG lost the game by 6 wickets, Mohsin’s performance was the biggest takeaway. His journey from the operation theater to the IPL 2026 spotlight serves as a powerful testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome the impossible.
