Taking bowling duties in the third over, ‘Lord Thakur’ – who was unsold in the IPL mega auctions and joined LSG as a replacement for injured Mohsin Khan – took the crucial wicket of power-hitter Abhishek Sharma, who was sent back to the pavilion at just six runs. Abhishek tried to hit a short ball but was grasped by a grateful Nicholas Pooran at deep square leg.
In the very next ball, the 34-year-old bowler struck again, taking the wicket of Ishan Kishan for a golden duck. Getting the ball to swing down the leg side, Kishan gets the slightest touch on the ball, which is caught behind by Rishabh Pant. No one celebrates, but Shardul is convinced by his appeal, and the umpire raises his finger.
In fact, the bowler could have done even more damage, bowling a terrific yorker with the hattrick ball, but Nitish Kumar somehow protects his wicket.

Thursday라이브 바카라 performance was the consecutive two-wicket spell for Shardul Thakur, who produced a similar performance in their opening match against Delhi Capitals (DC). The bowler dismissed opener Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel for 1 and 0 respectively.
However, skipper Rishabh Pant controversially opted to not give him more than two overs to bowl, and LSG eventually failed to defend their total of 209.
With the captain showing more trust in his bowling against SRH, Shardul will look to take advantage of the new ball to dismiss the dangerous Travis Head before SunRisers can mount a 200+ total on the batting-friendly pitch at Hyderabad.
