Shardul Thakur continues to extend his dominance in IPL 2025, picking up 2 successive wickets in the powerplay against SRH. His dual blow left the fans amazed as they praised him heavily on social media.

The IPL 2025 season has been a platform for redemption for Thakur. He initially went unsold in the mega auction before LSG roped him in as an injury replacement for Mohsin Khan.

However, from injury replacement, Thakur has now established himself as Lucknow’s lead pacer as he continues to turn heads with magical spells.

Shardul Thakur Destroys SRH’s Lethal Duo

In his first game for LSG this season against DC, Shardul Thakur picked up two wickets in a single over of the powerplay. Moreover, the pacer extended his dominance with the new ball against the mighty SRH.

SRH have a reputation for owning the powerplay with their powerful hitters. However, Thakur spoiled the party as he dismissed Abhishek Sharma and the centurion from the previous game, Ishan Kishan in 2 consecutive deliveries.

In the third over, he banged it in a short ball, and Abhishek, looking to pull, mistimed his shot towards deep square leg, where Nicholas Pooran took a safe catch.

On the very next moment, Shardul bowled an innocuous delivery down the leg side. But Kishan, attempting to glance it fine, only managed an edge to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps and was dismissed on a single duck.

Meanwhile, after two impressive outings in back-to-back games, fans hailed Shardul Thakur for redeeming himself.

"LORD SHARDUL THAKUR. I apologise for my sins. I apologise for hyping mere mortals in front of you. We doubt you, you prove us wrong, we don't again, you slap again. We never learn. But we love you." - @FarziCricketer

"Shardul Thakur came as the replacement and now he's the main bowler of LSG. What a redemption. People call him Lord for a reason." - @LoyalSachinFan

"How does the Batsmen See Shardul Thakur in the Power Play?" - @academy_dinda

"SRH might have too many Bahubali’s flexing their muscle in their lineup…Shardul Thakur still is the reincarnation of devine God himself!" - @toecrushrzzz

"Even if they change the rules to only one ball per over Shardul Thakur will still find a way to pick two wickets." - @internetumpire

That being said, despite Abhishek and Kishan’s early wickets, Travis Head kept the scoreboard ticking and clubbed 62 runs at the end of the first powerplay.
