Thu Mar 27 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Shardul Thakur’s Double Blow Stalls Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Charge

**Hyderabad, India –** Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) Shardul Thakur delivered a stunning early burst, dismantling Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) batting lineup in their IPL clash on Thursday. Thakur, a late addition to the LSG squad, claimed two quick wickets in his second over, effectively derailing SRH’s pursuit of another massive total.

The wickets of Abhishek Sharma (caught for a duck) and Ishan Kishan (also a golden duck) came in successive balls, leaving SRH reeling at 2/2 in the third over. Sharma’s attempted pull shot was mistimed, while Kishan edged a delivery to the wicketkeeper. This performance follows Thakur’s two-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals in LSG’s opening match.

SRH, who recently posted a record-breaking 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals, were expected to challenge the 300-run mark again. However, Thakur’s early strikes significantly hampered their chances. The impressive performance from the Indian fast bowler, who went unsold in last year’s auction, has earned him significant praise.
