The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match no.33, was between the two heavyweight teams of the tournament as the Mumbai Indians (MI) hosted the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the game. Shardul Thakur came into bat for the home side despite them already using the option of the impact player in the game.
Shardul Thakur came into bat as a concussion substitute for Mitchell Santner, who hurt his left shoulder while completing that catch of Kartik Sharma. The New Zealand skipper took a brilliant catch in the 16.5 over of Jasprit Bumrah’s ball, and soon he was taken aback, holding his left shoulder in the game. He was taken off the field.
Why Shardul Thakur came into bat?
Mitchell Santner was seen having a heavy strapping on his left shoulder area, which is also his bowling arm. The Kiwi did not come out to bat after the wicket of Sherfane Rutherford; instead, Shardul Thakur came into bat. MI already used their impact sub in the game, was it legal and like for like concussion sub, the question will stay.
