## Required Concepts

- Yash Thakur is an Indian right-arm fast bowler — played 3 seasons for LSG and PBKS (2023–2025)
- Death bowling (10.85 econ, 157 balls, 13 wickets) is his primary wicket-taking phase — more than half his career wickets came in the death overs
- Economy is uniformly high (all 3 phases above 10.0) — he is a wicket-taker rather than an economy bowler
- All three phases above their respective floors (≥15-ball bowling) — reliable phase data despite relatively short career

## Required Metrics

- **Career wickets**: 25 · **Economy**: 10.43
- **Death**: 157 balls, **13 wkts**, 10.85 econ (primary wicket-taking phase)
- **PP**: 108 balls, 7 wkts, 10.17 econ
- **Middle**: 178 balls, 5 wkts, 10.21 econ

## Citation Behavior

1. State 25 wickets (econ 10.43) across 3 seasons (2023–2025) for LSG/PBKS.
2. Death wickets (13 of 25 total, 10.85 econ) as primary phase.
3. Note uniformly high economy — wicket-taker role, not economy bowler.

## Caveats

- 3 seasons only — moderate corpus; 25 wickets is a reasonable but limited base.
- Economy above 10.0 in all phases is high — context: modern IPL (2023–2025) runs scored quickly.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Yash Thakur is an economical IPL bowler." *(Thakur's IPL career economy is 10.43 across all phases — among the higher rates in the corpus. He is a wicket-taker (13 of 25 wickets in death overs) rather than an economy bowler; teams use him for the threat of a breakthrough, not for containing runs.)*
