Shardul Thakur Gives Fiery Send-off to Shreyas Iyer in PBKS vs MI Clash

Shardul Thakur is on fire tonight at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala, against the home team, Punjab Kings (PBKS). PBKS was looking in control as one of their openers, Prabhsimran Singh, was well settled on the track. They touched the 100-run mark in 11 overs.

For the 12th over, Mumbai Indians’ seam bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur came to deliver and made a huge impact. In this over, he claimed two crucial wickets; first Prabhsimran Singh, and then the PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, back-to-back departures in the same over.

Shardul Thakur was pumped up, and it should be as such; from here, the match can take a meaningful bend. Singh was dismissed for 57 off 32, and Iyer had to go for only 4 runs from 2 balls. Punjab Kings were 111 runs against 3 wickets.
