India vs Australia: 'They were trying to have a conversation with me,' Thakur reveals how he tackled Australia's chatter

Hindustan Times  

Playing just his second Test match, Shardul Thakur could not have asked for a better return to the format. Coming to bat with India on 186/6, Thakur scored a maiden half-century and along with debutant Washington Sundar, put on 123 runs for the seventh wicket. Thakur and Sundar's counter-attacking partnership brought India back into the game, helping the team reduce its first-innings deficit to 33 runs. Thakur and Sundar accounted for the highest seventh-wicket partnership for India in Australia in Tests with both registering their maiden Test fifties. Both of us were communicating really well in the middle, if someone was losing control or trying a rash shot, we were immediately communicating that let's get back to normal," Thakur said.
