Shardul Thakur has hurt Sachin Tendulkar fans - Here why!

New Delhi: Speedster Shardul Thakur had a decent debut against Sri Lanka in the fourth ODI which India won handsomely on Thursday. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma hit centuries in the massive 168-run win. Thakur grabbed a wicket and gave away just 26 runs in his 7-over spell. But his debut also sparked a bit of controversy that would definitely hurt the pacer. He caught everyone's attention, especially the die-hard fans of Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter, with the jersey sporting the no. 10. The fans expressed their displeasure and anger for donning the No. 10 jersey and wanted him to immediately discard it and opt for some other number. Here’s some of the reactions below:

What the f**k you doing BCCI NEVER GIVE 10 JERSEY NUMBER TO ANYONE because we love sachin to wear the jersey number. Somuch love you sachin
