IPL 2026: Thakur Doesn’t Get Intimidated, Even When Batters Are Attacking, Says Pathan

By IANS News March 30, 2026 • 16:58 PM View: 251

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan praised seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur for his contributions playing a vital hand in Mumbai Indians beating Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in IPL 2026, adding that he doesn’t get intimidated, even when batters are attacking him.

At the Wankhede Stadium, Thakur returned figures of 3-39 to be named player of the match as five-time champions MI got off to a winning start and broke their 14-year jinx of being winless in tournament opening games.
