IPL 2025: Shardul’s 'surprise Bumper' Resulted In Abhishek Being Late On His Shot, Says Pujara
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara lauded Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder Shardul Thakur for his surprise bouncer causing the hard-hitting Abhishek Sharma to be late on his shot and be dismissed early, which eventually set the tone for the visitors to get their first win of IPL 2025.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Thakur had Abhishek caught off his short ball at deep square leg and picked up 4-34, his best figures in the IPL, as a power-packed SRH batting line-up managed to score only 190/9.
In reply, Nicholas Pooran smashed a whirlwind 70 off just 26 balls as LSG chased down the target with 23 balls to spare. For now, Thakur, drafted in as an injury replacement by LSG after going unsold in the mega auction, is the leading wicket-taker in the competition.
