On Monday things changed for Thakur as he delivered a player of the match performance for DC in an important clash with PBKS.
6th Over Was A Big Over Where I Got Two Wickets: Shardul Thakur
Thakur in the post-match presentation said, “I always like to perform in crunch times, the last two games were important and I always feel happy when I rise on the right occasion. The 6th over was a big over where I got two wickets, they were cruising and in both innings, fast bowlers were going for runs in the powerplay and as soon as the powerplay ended, the runs stopped. The spinners came in and did a good job.
As a bowling unit, we were trying it hit good areas, but after the 12th over there was dew which is why we did not bowl Kuldeep Yadav. I’m preparing well and whenever I got the chance, trying to put some score and hoping I will continue my run with the bat,” he added.
This win has kept DC still in the hunt for a spot in the playoff.
