New Delhi. Some work in cricket game comes in crime, so the batsman’s dismissal is tolerated. The bowler’s sixes are also digested, but if a bowler throws a no ball or a wide ball, it is not easy for anyone to digest him. Especially if it is done in Crime T20, then there is no apology. Lucknow Super Giants defeated Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, but if you do the match anisting the match, they will find that despite playing 20 more balls, they could not achieve the target.
In this clash, Lucknow bowler Shardul Thakur bowled 6 runs in the same ball without giving a boundary. You must also be wondering how it can be good, only then 6 runs can be scored on it. But there was neither a four, nor Six nor any over-three runs. Know here what was such a wonder that Thakur gave 6 runs in a single ball without giving a boundary.
Shardul crime in Kolkata

Interestingly, Thakur threw 5 wide in this over and in the same over, the wicket of KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane also shouted. On the first 5 balls, 13 runs including five wide had come. Thakur’s last ball was full-toss, which Rahane could not hit properly and caught Nicholas Puran. The bowlers of Lucknow bowled a total of 20 balls more, that is, Kolkata got to play 140 balls instead of 120.
Thakur is a solid bowler
Lucknow from parachute to Lucknow Super Giants team and then he also became a hero in the initial match. Thakur was unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Since LSG bowler Mohsin Khan was out of the tournament after getting injured, Thakur was included in the team as his replacement. This replacement has proved to be great for LSG as he is still the highest wicket -taking bowler for Lucknow in IPL 2025. So far, he has taken 8 wickets in 5 matches. But Kolkata will definitely want to forget the match because no team will be able to tolerate it to throw so much wide.
