In the fourth match of the Border-Gavaskar Test series in Brisbane, Team India defended themselves against Australia based on the century partnership of lower-order batsmen Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur. The failure of the top-order batsmen in response to Australia’s 369 runs meant India were in the backfoot and finally managed to reach a respectable score of 336 in their first innings. In this match, Shardul and Washington started the first fifty of their Test career. Former India batsman Virender Sehwag praised the achievement.
“One word that can accurately convey the courage of India in this team is (Dabangg),” Sehwag wrote in a tweet. Quite adventurous and daring. The elegant Thakur. ”
If there is one word to describe the courage of this Indian team, it is Dabangg. So brave and courageous. Athi Sundar Thakur.
