SENSATIONAL, that is the word to describe the terrific knock played by ‘Lord’ Shardul Thakur in the ongoing 4th Test match between India and England. Team India would have been in a dire situation if Shardul Thakur hadn’t come to their rescue and scored runs there.

Yes, Thakur had walked out to bat when India found themselves seven down for 127 runs soon after tea with Rishabh Pant being the last batsman walking back to the pavilion. However, what followed was a valiant batting show from Shardul Thakur. He took the game by storm as he smashed some fascinating shots and made a mockery of the English bowlers.
He raced to 31 off 21 balls only helping India cross the 150-run mark in the 58th over. Thakur then hoisted Ollie Robinson for a stunning six, which was his 3rd six, to reach his half-century in 31 balls.
Here, watch the video:
