Shardul Thakur reacts to 'Lord Shardul' memes; reveals conversation with Sam Curran during Oval Test

India TV News  

Shardul Thakur had been one of India's top performers in the recently-concluded Test series against England. In the Oval Test, Thakur scored half-centuries in both innings, while also taking three wickets in the game to steer India to a 157-run victory. In an interview with Indian Express, Thakur has now revealed that he had a light-hearted conversation with England's Sam Curran on the evening of the fourth day of the Test, where Curran confidently said that England would bat well on the "flat deck." Shardul Thakur took the opening wicket of Rory Burns, which triggered an English top-order collapse as the hosts lost their next five wickets within 46 runs. The bowler also reacted to the "Lord Shardul" memes, which trended on Twitter throughout the course of the fourth Test following his impressive performance in the game.
