LSG Pacer Yash Thakur Delivers Career-Best Spell to Guide Vidarbha to Vijay Hazare Trophy Final
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Yash Thakur played a crucial role in powering Vidarbha into the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. Thakur delivered what he regards as the best spell of his career during the semi-final against defending champions Karnataka, putting Vidarbha on the front foot early in the match.
The right-arm fast bowler was particularly effective in the opening powerplay, where he managed to break through the defense of Karnataka's in-form opener, Devdutt Padikkal. This early breakthrough was instrumental in setting the tone for Vidarbha's victory. Thakur, who has 12 career IPL wickets, will now look to carry this high confidence and lethal form into the final against Saurashtra, aiming to secure the silverware for his domestic side.
