Star LSG pacer Shardul Thakur went through an unexpected turnaround of events while bowling the 13th over of the innings against KKR in the ongoing 21st game of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Before coming to bowl this over, Thakur had already conceded 30 runs in his 2 overs.
But with these five wides, he ended up conceding 35 runs in two overs without even bowling a single ball in the 13th over of the second innings. However, he eventually managed to dismiss the KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane on the last ball of the same over.
The unbelievable and unwanted record achieved by Shardul Thakur didn’t go well with a lot of cricket fans and they immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to troll him brutally for missing line and length continuously on the five balls of the over and bowling an 11-ball over instead of 6.
Here’s how fans reacted to Shardul Thakur’s five consecutive wides

हमारे गाँव के क्रिकेट में कोई गेंदबाज तीन ओवर के शुरुआत में तीन लगातार वाइड फेंक देता था तो उस गेंदबाज से ओवर ले लिया जाता था और दूसरे गेंदबाज को लगाया जाता था ।😄
