IPL 2026: With Clarity In Mind And Plans, Yash Thakur Banks On Death Overs Expertise To Thrive For PBKS
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: When Yash Thakur talks about bowling in the death overs in T20s, he does not talk about variations first - he speaks about the clarity in mind and plans before turning his attention to execution. The clarity in his words mirrors Thakur’s reputation as an end-overs specialist in IPL - 13 of his 25 wickets have come in the crunch 17–20 overs phase.
“I feel that death overs are the most challenging. So I always try to do my best for the team in the most challenging situations. My mindset is always the same. That's why I prefer bowling in death overs. For death overs, your mind and plans should be clear.
“Then your execution comes in the end. These three things I feel are the most important in bowling in death overs. If it is there, you can click it well. Sometimes it won't happen, but this is a process. The more it goes on, the better it will be,” said Thakur in an exclusive conversation with IANS ahead of IPL 2026 starting on March 28.
