From going unsold in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) Mega Auction to becoming the bowling spearhead of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Shardul Thakur delivered a strong performance against the dominant Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday. His 4-wicket haul played a crucial role in restricting SRH to 190/9 in their innings.

LSG’s dynamic wicket-keeper batter Nicholas Pooran has again left everyone stunned with his big-hitting batting, making a blistering 50 off 18 balls. This show-stopping innings is not just the season’s fastest fifty but also second-fastest for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after his own eye-catching 15-ball fifty against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Bengaluru in IPL 2023.

Cummins to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, slower shortish ball outside off, sits up nicely for Mitchell Marsh. He lines it up and pulls it with authority over square leg. No chance for the fielder in the deep to stop it
Zampa to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, easy pickings! The slider but it's short down leg,
Cummins to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, shot! Very full ball wide outside off, Mitchell Marsh crouches

The players and umps walk out to the middle. Marsh comes out to open as the impact sub for LSG. Rathi out. Looks like it will be spin to start. Abhishek Sharma to start off. Interesting move this.
"I feel all these things happen in cricket. It was a bad day for me in the auction (I didn't get pick by any franchise.) LSG was the one who approached me first due to the injuries to their bowlers, so it was always on the cards. I had to accept it with Zaheer Khan around. You have to go through such things (ups and downs) in cricket. Winning is the game is important for me. I don't look at the wickets or runs column. I want to create an impact and a match winning performance. The batters are coming hard at the bowlers, why not the bowlers go hard at them, that was our plan against SRH. They have been scoring heavily on flat pitches. It fell in our pockets initially (earlier today.)"
Generally when a team scores 190 in a T20, it's a big score but this is SRH and at Hyderabad we are talking about. Over 200 is what everyone expects minimum when SRH bat on this ground.
Thakur to Shami, out Caught by Ayush Badoni!! Four-fer for Thakur. Shami c Ayush Badoni b Thakur 1(3)
Avesh Khan to Cummins, out Caught by Digvesh Rathi!! Three sixes and out. What a short cameo that was.

Cummins c Digvesh Rathi b Avesh Khan 18(4) [6s-3]
Avesh Khan to Cummins, SIX, hat-trick of sixes for Cummins.
Thakur to Cummins, SIX, Cummins off the mark with a six first ball. Slower and short outside off, bouncing too, Cummins slashes it hard and he has connected so well.
Thakur to Abhinav Manohar, out Caught by Abdul Samad!! Straight to deep backward point. Abhinav Manohar c Abdul Samad b Thakur 2(6)
Digvesh Rathi to Aniket Verma, out Caught by Miller!! Aniket Verma c Miller b Digvesh Rathi 36(13) [6s-5]
Digvesh Rathi to Aniket Verma, SIX, to sweeper cover

Ravi Bishnoi to Aniket Verma, SIX, to long-off
Ravi Bishnoi to Nitish Reddy, out Bowled!! Now Nitish Reddy goes. Ravi Bishnoi punches the air in delight as he mouths a come on.

Nitish Reddy b Ravi Bishnoi 32(28) [4s-2]
