Akash Singh Takes 3 Wickets With Handwritten Note Against CSK

akash singh took three wickets in Lucknow Super Giants’ IPL 2026 league-stage match against Chennai Super Kings, and each dismissal came with the same handwritten note held up to the crowd. He finished with 4-0-26-3, a spell that trimmed CSK’s top and middle order in four overs.

Akash Singh and CSK wickets

Ruturaj Gaikwad went first, out for 13 off 9 balls in the 3.5 over. Akash Singh showed the note to all corners of the stadium immediately after the wicket, and the message read “#Akki on fire - Akash knows how to take wickets in T20 game”.

Sanju Samson followed in the 5.3 over, falling for 20 off 20 balls. Akash Singh brought out the same note again, repeating the celebration after another CSK batter had been removed from the chase.

Urvil Patel was next, out for 6 off 7 balls in the 7.2 over. The left-arm pacer showed the note for a third time, and the sequence turned a routine bowling change into the match’s most replayed moment.

Handwritten note celebration

The spell stood out because the wickets came in a tight window, not in a long spell of control spread across the innings. Akash Singh struck in the 3.5, 5.3 and 7.2 overs, then closed his four-over allocation at 6.50 an over.

That detail made the celebration part of the story instead of a side note. Nicholas Pooran, Mukul Choudhary and Mitchell Marsh were all involved in the fielding effort around him, but the crowd response followed the handwritten note each time it came back out.

The moment quickly spread beyond the ground and moved fast on social media. For Lucknow Super Giants, the practical takeaway is simple: Akash Singh delivered three wickets and gave the innings a clear pressure point, with the note celebration now tied to the spell itself rather than a single dismissal.
