During the second day of the Johannesburg Test between India and South Africa, Shardul Thakur scalped three wickets in quick succession before lunch, and provided crucial breakthroughs for the visitors. The Indian speedster clinched the wickets of Dean Elgar, Keegan Petersen, and Van der Dussen.
Resuming at the overnight score of 35/1, South Africa added 53 runs before captain Dean Elgar fell to Shardul Thakur in the 39th over. Before departing, Elgar stitched up a 74-run stand along with Keegan Petersen, who scored 62 off 118 balls.
Thakur continued his good form with the ball, and clinched the crucial wicket of Petersen in the 43rd over of the innings. After Peterson walked back to the pavilion, South Africa batsmen looked to steady their innings as they faced quick blows from the Indian pacer. However, Shardul Thakur got another breakthrough for India as he clinched the wicket of Van der Dussen before lunch on Day 2 of the second Test match.

HE IS THE BEST
Lord Shardul and team India believe in fair play. That's why Lord never bowls to new batsmen, he's only brought on once there is a partnership and the batsmen are set. Lord still gets them out though ��

WHAT A PLAYER!
In the beginning, Lord Shardul deliberately leak runs, so that he could get those 2 set batsmen OUT on successive deliveries!
