Lucknow Super Giants are throwing up some fine, young match-winners in the early part of their IPL campaign. In their first two wins, it was speedster Mayank Yadav and on Sunday night another young pace bowler, Yash Thakur hogged the attention by becoming the first bowler to take a fifer (5-30) this season as LSG defended a sub-par score of 163 against Gujarat Titans on a rather sluggish Ekana Stadium pitch.
Lucky break
Yash, 25, who plays for Vidarbha in the domestic circuit, and came into the playing XI only because regular pacer Mohsin Khan was sidelined with injury, grabbed the lucky break with both hands.
