Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Shardul Thakur SUV offered a winning performance of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during his Premier League contest of India 2025 (IPL) on Thursday, ending with 4/34 figures.

This performance helped Shardul Thakur maintain a constant race with the ball, after registering 2/19 figures against Delhi Capitals (DC) last week.

How a call from Zaheer brought Shardul to LSG

However, Shardul was recruited in the Lucknow Super Giants team only as a replacement for the injured Mohsin Khan, who has been discarded from the tournament due to an injury. Shardul, who was released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after IPL 2024, had not sold at the Mega Mega Mega Mega 2025 auction last year. Because of this, the 33 -year -old was considering playing the County Cricket in England.

However, a call from the Mentor of Lucknow’s super giants, Zaheer Khan, changed Shardul Thakur’s summer plans this year. “Honestly, no, but I had made my plans. I also planned to play the County Cricket if they did not pick me up in the IPL. Zaheer Khan had called me when I was playing in the Ranji trophy and he told me that it can be called as a replacement. If it is called as a replacement replacement, it is likely to play. Shardul Thakur was awarded as the game player.

Shardul Thakur revealed that he was inspired by Sunrisers Hyderabad of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma and risked. “Some swing and what I have seen in the past, the head and love Abhishek to their possibilities, so I thought I would also risk. The new ball is something in which you can take wickts when it sways and risked tonight,” he added.

In his last match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded a total of 286/6 and finally won the game for 44 races. Rajasthan Royals finished his answer with a 242/6 score in that game.

“The bowling players get very little in these types of games, even in the last game I said that the releases should be prepared in a way that the game hangs especially in balance. With the sub rule of impact, it is unfair in bowling players if a team scores 240-250 races,” said the Cricketer of the west zone.
