Shardul Thakur Will Be At The Front
The 30 year-old Shardul feels that partnerships help us get opportunities in life. It’s vital for the main bowlers to have some rest. And to replace their position, the third or forth bowlers have to come ahead. And that’s exactly what happened here as well. He said that it was a great opportunity for him to take a wicket.

He said, ” They say because the ball swings a lot and at times you end up taking a lot of wickets in one spell itself.” Shardul revealed that England happens to be his favourite when it comes to places he loves to play cricket at.
Thakur said that England has a lot of scope for lateral movement and off the pitch movement. Things come down to how a player utilises that. Thakur, the fast wicket-taker, is a splendid Batman as well. He was instrumental in the fourth Test at the Oval. He gave out two bomb half-centuries right off the bat.

“Scoring such innings helps us leave a great impression on the team. They feel motivated to give their best. Such moments give us all a sense of purpose. And, we get a boost that we’ve got some great opportunity to throw a comeback. “The good performance of teammates, it will reflect when you are bowling, it will also reflect in your fielding,” he concluded.
