When it comes to milestones in IPL 2025, Shardul Thakur’s 100th match was a special moment for both him and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Ahead of their match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Thakur was felicitated with a special “100” jersey by team mentor Zaheer Khan during the team huddle.
This recognition marked his contribution to the league as a reliable all-rounder over the years. Thakur’s journey this season has been remarkable. Initially going unsold in the auction, he was later picked up by LSG as an injury replacement. Since joining the squad, he has made an immediate impact, becoming the leading wicket-taker for the franchise with 7 wickets so far.
His performance has been crucial, especially with the ball in both powerplay and death overs, putting him in contention for the Purple Cap. LSG, under Rishabh Pant’s leadership, has had a balanced campaign so far, with two wins and two losses. Thakur’s resurgence has not only strengthened the team’s bowling attack but also added much-needed experience and momentum as they aim for consistency in the tournament.
