Lord Thakur Scored 3 Back To Back Fifties at Kennington Oval in London
Shardul has batted at this venue earlier as well when India toured England in 2021 for a Test series. Thakur is an important player because he has immense talent with the bat and ball.
His inclusion in the team gives a batting depth which is required in the swinging and seaming conditions of England. On day 3 of the WTC Final, Thakur joined Sir Don Bradman and Allan Border to achieve a spectacular feat in Test cricket.
Shardul has scored three back-to-back-half centuries at Kennington Oval in London. His brilliant knock of 51 runs from 109 deliveries was the third fifty on the trot at this venue.
By doing so, Lord Thakur has joined Sir Don Bradman and Allan Border, who have achieved this feat earlier. India has to bat once more in this Ultimate Test match and Thakur should look to notch up his fourth consecutive fifty at this venue.
