Former India opener Virender Sehwag took to social media to praise Shardul Thakur for his 2nd heroic knock in the ongoing Ind vs Eng Test series.

New Delhi: Shardul Thakur shared a valuable 100-run partnership with wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant on Day 4 of Ind vs Eng Oval Test to bail the visitors out of tricky waters and put them into a solid lead in the second innings.
