Sehwag Praises Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh
Lord Shardul .. Lord Rinku ..
Zabardast clean hitting #RcbvKKR— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) April 6, 2023
Sehwag tweeted praising Shardul and Rinku for their batting display. Shardul Thakur replied to this tweet saying “Paaji, aap se hi to seekhe hai! Aap to Guru ho clean hitting ke. Aapse accha kaun maarta hai fast bowler ko. Hum bhi dekh dekh ke hi seekhe hai (Sir, we have learned how to hit the ball from you only. Who else did such clean hitting against the fast bowlers? We have learned it from seeing you play.)”
Shardul Thakur replied to Sehwag saying we’ve learnt it from you. Shardul Thakur has also been a regular player for the Indian side. He is a perfect all-rounder one can have in the side. Gurbaz and Rinku Singh both played crucial knocks, their knocks are as important as that of Shardul Thakur.
KKR did not disappoint King Khan yesterday, as he was in the stands cheering for his KKR side. KKR now has the best net run rate of +2.056 in the points table.
