ENGvIND: Shardul Thakur”s Blitz Sets Twitter On Fire

India set a target of 257 for the hosts at Headingley. Though the middle order failed to score runs on a tricky track, the lower order batted sensibly and made sure to take the team to a respectable total.

Shardul Thakur”s blitz played an important role in the process as his quickfire 22 of just 13 helped India go past 250. His knock included two big sixes as he took Ben Stokes for a carnage at Leeds.

It is to be noted that Shardul”s six is the first one from India in this series. Bhuvi and Shardul on their return to the squad really displayed brilliance with the bat and the focus now shifts towards their bowling. The initial overs from the duo can make a difference and with wrist spinners in the camp, the contest can really be a thrilling one.

It is to be noted that Shardul”s cameo with Faf du Plessis in the Qualifier 1 earlier this year paved way for the Chennai Super Kings to gain a direct entry to the final.

Twitter went wild for his knock and this is how it reacted:
