On Day Three of the Brisbane Test, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur scored their maiden Test half-centuries to keep India in the game at The Gabba. Both shared a 123-run partnership for the seventh wicket before Thakur got out after scoring valuable 67 runs with the help of nine fours and two sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Gabba the Dhaba for these two guys. If there is one word to describe the courage of this Indian team, it's Dabangg. So daring and brave," Sehwag said in an Instagram post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former India batsman VVS Laxman also praised the brave effort of the two young batsmen and tweeted: "Congrats Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur on your maiden Test '50s. Loved the fight, technique, and will power you both exhibited.<\/strong>"<\/p>\r\n\r\n "Also, a good example for young bowlers to work on their batting as you never know when your contribution with the bat will help the team,<\/strong>" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Congrats @Sundarwashi5<\/a> & @imShard<\/a> on ur maiden Test 50’s.
