In cricket, some things are considered crimes, which is why it is tolerable for a batsman to get out, even if a bowler hits a six, it is also digestible, but if a bowler bowls a no ball or a wide ball, it is not easy for anyone to digest it. Especially if this crime is committed in T-20, then there is no forgiveness for it. Kolkata Knight Riders were defeated by Lucknow Super Giants in Eden Gardens, but if we analyze the match, we will find that despite playing 20 more balls, they could not achieve the target.

In this encounter, Lucknow bowler Shardul Thakur gave away 6 runs in a single ball without giving a boundary. You must be thinking how can this happen, 6 runs can be scored on a ball only if a six is ​​hit on it. But here, neither a four was hit, nor a six, nor any over-throw runs were scored. Know here what miracle happened due to which Thakur gave away 6 runs in a single ball without giving a boundary.

Shardul committed a crime in Kolkata.

The incident is of the 13th over of KKR's innings, in which Shardul Thakur came to bowl. His bowling line was so bad that he bowled 5 consecutive wides. In the sixth attempt, he bowled the first legal ball of the over, on which Ajinkya Rahane took a single run. In this way, he gave 6 runs in just one ball without giving a boundary. Shardul Thakur bowled 11 balls to complete the 13th over, whereas an over consists of only 6 balls. The interesting thing was that Thakur bowled 5 wides in this over and also took the wicket of KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane in the same over. 13 runs including five wides had come on the first 5 balls. Thakur's last ball was a full toss, which Rahane could not hit properly and got caught by Nicholas Pooran. Lucknow bowlers bowled a total of 20 balls more, meaning Kolkata got to play 140 balls instead of 120.

Thakur is a solid bowler by the way.

He parachuted into the Lucknow Super Giants team and then became a hero in the opening match. Thakur was unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Since LSG bowler Mohsin Khan was out of the tournament due to injury, Thakur was included in the team as his replacement. This replacement has proved to be very good for LSG as he is the highest wicket-taker for Lucknow in IPL 2025 so far. So far he has taken 8 wickets in 5 matches. But Shardul would definitely want to forget the Kolkata match because no team would be able to tolerate throwing so many wides.
