It wasn’t the first time Shardul demonstrated his prowess with the bat. The all-rounder has also made some impressive cameos with the bat for the Indian team, particularly in Test cricket. Kohli was Shardul’s teammate on the majority of those occasions.
This time, however, they were at opposite ends of the room. The phrase Tula Maanla re Thakur means Hats off to you Thakur. The original tweet was made after Shardul played a key role in India’s victory over the West Indies in December 2019.
In terms of his own performance, Shardul admitted that he had no idea how he was able to perform so well against the Royal Challengers. I’m not sure where it came from, but looking at the scoreboard at the time, everyone would have assumed we were struggling.
However, your subconscious mind takes control. To do that at a higher level, you must also have skills, but we also work hard in the nets. There will be a time when we can slog it in the nets. The coaching staff does the throwdowns and allows us to range-hit. And you know how pitches always suit batsmen, don’t they?
Suyash bowled exceptionally well, and we know Sunil and Varun have talent. They have a good time and take wickets. This was a flawless da, he said at the post-match ceremony.
With the victory, KKR now sits third in the points table, having won one and lost one.
