Shardul Gets Very Limited Credit For The Way He Bowls: Aakash Chopra
IND vs WI 3rd ODI: India’s batting unit impressed collectively, helping the visitors to a huge 200-run win over the West Indies in the 3rd and series-deciding ODI at Trinidad on Tuesday. The openers Ishan Kishan (77 runs, 64b, 8x4, 3x6) and Shubman Gill (85 runs, 92b, 11x4) put on 143 in only 19.4 overs before stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya (70 not out, 52b, 4x4, 5x6) and Sanju Samson (51 runs, 41b, 2x4, 4x6) helped India set the hosts a challenging 352-run target.
Thereafter, the West Indies struggled to find any momentum, and paceman Shardul Thakur took 4/37 in 6.3 overs as Shai Hope’s side were bowled out for only 151 in 35.3 overs. The other pace bowler Mukesh Kumar returned with figures of 3/30 while spinner Kuldeep Yadav took 2/25.
JioCinema expert Aakash Chopra was impressed with Thakur’s performance, saying: “In the previous match itself, Shardul took three wickets. He gets very limited credit for the way he bowls. I am trying to figure out how he takes so many wickets and why he is expensive, both things going hand-in-hand.”
