Shardul Thakur became the talk of the town after his magnificent knock helped Kolkata Knight Riders clinch a comfortable 81-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Asked to bat first, KKR were reduced to 89/5 in 12 overs despite a quick 57-run knock from opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz. It was then Shardul, who stitched a massive 103-run partnership with Rinku Singh and helped KKR reach a total of 204/7 in 20 overs. Shardul smashed 68 off 29 balls while Rinku contributed with 46 off 33 balls. Later, RCB were bundled out for 123 as KKR registered their first win of IPL 2023.

Shardul not just only contributed with the bat but also scalped a wicket and bagged the Player of the Match award. Taking to Twitter, KKR posted a picture of the 31-year-old all-rounder, where he can be seen posing with all the awards he won for his performance against RCB.

"Oh my Lord," the caption of the tweet was a reference to the nickname given to Shardul by the fans.
