Shardul Thakur Joins Lucknow Super Giants as Mohsin Khan’s Replacement for IPL 2025
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have made a significant move ahead of the 2025 IPL season by signing all-rounder Shardul Thakur. This decision comes after a serious ACL injury has sidelined talented bowler Mohsin Khan, leaving LSG in need of experienced support for their bowling lineup.
Mohsin Khan’s recovery has been plagued with setbacks, including a calf strain that occurred during his return to bowling. With other key seamers like Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, and Mayank Yadav still recuperating, LSG management had no choice but to seek an injury replacement. Thakur, who had previously gone unsold at the mega auction, was already part of LSG’s preparations and is expected to travel with the team for their season opener against Delhi Capitals.
Thakur’s Experience Vital for LSG
As the most experienced bowler now in LSG’s arsenal, Thakur’s role will be crucial. The LSG camp is currently navigating a challenging situation with multiple players injured, and mentor Zaheer Khan has emphasized the need for a dynamic approach to manage these injuries effectively. “The situation is dynamic for some of our players due to injuries. But it’s time that we look for positives and adopt things to tackle the situation amicably,” Khan stated.
While the spin department appears settled, the pace attack is in a state of flux. With Shamar Joseph being the only overseas seamer and younger talents like Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Prince Yadav available, Thakur’s leadership will be essential.
