The player who was not asked about the IPL 2025 mega auction is proving to be a boon for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. The name of this player is Shardul Thakur. No team showed interest in buying Shardul in the auction.
These Shardul is proving to be a worse dream for the opposing batsmen in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League. After wreaking havoc against Delhi Capitals, Shardul has also demolished the top order of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shardul dismissed Abhishek Sharma and Ishaan Kishan on just two balls.
Shardul created a stir
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to bowl first. Shardul Thakur proved the captain’s decision to be correct in the third over. Shardul showed Abhishek Sharma the path of the pavilion on the very first ball of the over. Abhishek’s innings ended on Shardul’s score of just 6 runs. After this, on the second ball, Shardul ended the innings of Ishaan Kishan, the century of the last match. Shardul did not even give Ishaan a chance to open an account and sent the pavilion to Golden Duck. In addition, Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami were shown the path of the pavilion.
Reported against Delhi too
Shardul Thakur gave a similar start to Lucknow Super Giants against Delhi Capitals. Shardul dismissed Jack Fraser McGark and Abhishek Porel in the very first over of the innings. Fraser was dismissed by Shardul for just one run, while Abhishek did not even give a chance to open the account. His base price was kept at Rs 2 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, but he did not find any buyer. But due to Mohsin Khan not being fit, Lucknow Super Giants have included Shardul in his team.
