Thakur experienced a whirlwind of emotions after going unsold at the auction but was picked up by LSG as a replacement seamer. The right-arm pacer lived up to the call as he soared to the top of the purple cap rankings following career-best figures of 4/34 against Sunrisers Hyderbad to help Lucknow to a massive win.

Thakur has managed to pick up seven wickets in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League thus far helping his side to two wins in four games ahead of their game at the fabled Stadium in Kolkata.
LSG opened their campaign with a 1-wicket defeat to DC, before roaring back with a 5-wicket win over SRH, thanks to Thakur’s heroics with the ball. However, the side from Lucknow went down to an 8-wicket loss against Punjab Kings at home before clinching a 12-run win in front of their passionate home crowd against five-time champions Mumbai Indians.
KKR won the toss against LSG and opted to bowl but were made to pay for their decision in the first innings as LSG went on to post a mammoth total of 238/3, riding on half-centuries from Australian opener Mitchell Marsh and Windies maverick Nicholas Pooran. South African skipper Aiden Markram also chipped in with a 47-run contribution for the visitors as KKR’s Nitish Rana picked up a couple of wickets and the other one went to Andre Russell.
