Lucknow Super Giants‘ fast bowler Yash Thakur impressed one and all with his performance in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. Earlier he also stole all the limelight with his performance in the domestic cricket for Vidarbha.

In IPL 2023, he picked up 13 wickets in 9 games and bowled some crucial overs for his side. The way he soaked in all the pressure during the death overs and bowled calmly earned him praise from all corners.

Yash Thakur Credited Gautam Gambhir For His Success

The pacer has revealed that it was LSG’s mentor Gautam Gambhir’s pep talk that helped him keep calm and succeed in the tournament.

In an interview with News 18 CricketNext, Yash Thakur opened up about his performance in IPL 2023 and credited Gambhir for his success. He revealed that it was Gambhir’s advice that took the best out of him in the tournament. He said:

“When I was selected in the auction, I was a bit nervous about playing under Gautam Gambhir’s guidance because I admire him since my childhood days. When I played my first match, he just told me one thing, ‘You are here because you deserve it.’

Yash Thakur revealed the advice given by Gambhir that helped him perform well. He revealed:

“He advised me to not take much pressure and play it like any other domestic match. He was always there, whenever anyone needs him he was always there for a chat. He advised me to calm myself which stood out for me in IPL.”

Thakur added:

“His approach is very different, he always reminds us that we have to win the trophy and every single game is important in the tournament. He made sure be it an international or domestic player everyone is equal in the team.”

Thakur Hailed Both The Captains Of LSG

Besides this, Yash Thakur also talked about playing under two different captains. KL Rahul, who is the regular captain of LSG was ruled out midway because of an injury and was replaced by Krunal Pandya

Thakur hailed both the captains and said that it was their aggression that took the best out of him. He revealed:

“KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya are aggressive captains. As a bowling group, they always want us to dominate the opposition batters, so it was not really difficult for us after Rahul was injured as KP bhai was also aggressive in his captaincy, wanting to dominate the opposition”

He added: “I played nine matches and I guess only 2-3 came under Rahul bhai’s captaincy and played majorly under KP bhai. I had a different role with the ball under both captains.”
