Shardul Thakur's Remarkable Comeback in IPL 2025 After Going Unsold - A Journey Inspired by Zaheer Khan

Unsold at the Auction but Not Out of Hope

After a surprising absence from the IPL 2025 auction, pacer Shardul Thakur found himself in a tough spot. However, a call from LSG head coach Zaheer Khan reignited his hope and set him on a path to redemption.

The Turning Point - A Call from Zaheer Khan

Thakur, who was brought into LSG as a replacement for the injured Mohsin Khan, delivered an outstanding performance against SRH with his four-wicket haul. In an interview after receiving the Player of the Match award, Thakur revealed how Zaheer Khan's call had played a significant role in shaping his journey.

The Purple Cap Race and Beyond

Thakur's impressive performance catapulted him to the top of the Purple Cap standings, but for the pacer, winning as a team was more important than individual accolades. He emphasized that creating an impact and delivering match-winning performances were his primary objectives. 

A Promising Future Ahead 

 With his first win of the IPL 2025 season under their belt, Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants will look to build on Thakur's performance and continue their momentum. As the tournament unfolds, cricket fans can expect more thrilling performances from the talented all-rounder.
