In the fifth T20, Team India beat England by 36 runs to win the T20 series 3-2. Many players have been instrumental in this victory against the world number one T20 team. In the series, skipper Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have received much praise from the bat and Bhuvneshwar Kumar threw a good spell in the bowling. In the midst of all this, there was one player who managed to convert the result of the fourth and fifth T20s in one over and named it Shurdul Thakur, who was instrumental in winning the team by throwing a match-winning spell in the last two matches. Meanwhile, former India bowler Zaheer Khan has praised Shardul Thakur as the T20 series ‘Silent Hero’.

Speaking to ‘Cricbuzz’, Zaheer Khan said, ‘Shardul Thakur, if you notice. This Indian cricket team has many big names, many attractive players. In the midst of all this, this player has done his job very peacefully. He is the silent protagonist of the series. His stats are as good as any top player. After the Australia series, I saw a big change in their thinking and body language. If you look at them carefully on the field, their confidence is clearly visible. When you have been playing international cricket for a long time, you take the time to understand your game and enhance your career, but Thakur is on such a platform that he knows what is best for him and Shardul should stay away. Put them under any circumstances and they will show up well. ‘

Shardul Thakur took the wickets of Ben Stokes and Eoin Morgan on consecutive deliveries during the deciding fourth T20 match. Subsequently, in the final and decisive match, Shardul again sent David Malan and Morgan to the pavilion and turned the match towards India. The Mumbai paceman took the most number of 8 wickets in a five-match series, but he made a significant contribution with the bat. Shortly before his tour of Australia, Shardul had played both bat and ball.
