IPL 2025: From Unsold to Unstoppable - Shardul Thakur's LSG Comeback

In a dramatic twist, all-rounder Shardul Thakur is set to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the 2025 season. Having remained unsold in the mega auction, Thakur is likely to fill the void left by injured Mohsin Khan in the Rishabh Pant-led team. Mohsin has been ruled out with an ACL injury followed by a calf strain, and LSG are in search of an experienced pacer.

Thakur has been training with LSG since the start of their preparations and is set to travel with the team to Visakhapatnam for their season opener against Delhi Capitals. His addition comes as a timely boost for LSG's pace attack, which has been grappling with injuries to key players like Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, and Mayank Yadav.

While an official announcement is pending, Thakur's experience is expected to bolster LSG's bowling lineup in what promises to be a dynamic season ahead.
