The last night was eventful for IPL 2024. In the second half of the day, we witnessed a thrilling clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans. In that match, the LSG bowlers troubled the Gujarat Titans batters. LSG’s young bowler Yash Thakur’s incredible performance pushed the team closer to winning. After the match, he revealed his two inspirations.
Yash Thakur’s Performance:
Lucknow Super Giants faced off against Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Sports City in Lucknow, treating the local spectators to an exhilarating match. During the second innings, Gujarat Titans’ batsmen encountered difficulties against the Super Giants’ bowlers. Yash Thakur, in particular, played a pivotal role by claiming crucial wickets, significantly influencing the course of the game. His performance proved instrumental in shaping the outcome of the match in favor of the Lucknow Super Giants.
Yash Thakur made a significant impact in the sixth over by dismissing Shubman Gill for 19 runs. He then had to wait a bit for his next wicket, Vijay Shakar, who was dismissed for 17 runs. Thakur continued his fine form, taking the wickets of Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia. He completed a five-wicket haul by dismissing Noor Ahmed, finishing the match with figures of 5 wickets for 30 runs at an economy rate of 7.83.
Talking About Idols:
The bowler registered an incredible performance in the last game. After the match, he revealed the names of his two idols. He said, “My idol is Umesh Yadav, from my city. I started to practice fast bowling because of him. When I got to learn a lot. He is very humble. Even if I call him 12 at night, he will help me.”
MS Dhoni is an inspiration to many. Yash Thakur is also one of them. While talking about this living legend, Thakur said, “ Also my other idol is MS Dhoni. The way he finishes his matches with the bat, I want to do it with the ball. He has a great game sense.”
Player of the Match Award:
After that incredible performance, he was awarded the Player of the Match award. While receiving the award, he said, “Happy with this five-wicket haul and Man of the Match award. I had planned against Gill, I stuck to my plan, KL Rahul had advised me to do so and it paid off. Unfortunately, Mayank Yadav got injured, so KL said it was my day and asked me to make the most of it. We are winning the first game against GT in IPL history, very happy with it. Really enjoyed Gill’s wicket, the most memorable of all.”
After that match, LSG moved to the third position of the points table. After winning three matches, they are standing there with 6 points. Their next match is scheduled to happen against Delhi Capitals. They will try hard to keep the winning track unbroken.
