'Lord Of Indian Cricket': Stunning Shardul Thakur Stat Floors Fans On Social Media

India's pace-bowling all-rounder, Shardul Thakur, ended the ODI series against West Indies at the top of the wicket-taking charts, claiming 8 scalps in the three matches. With his performance against West Indies on Tuesday, Shardul also completed a half-century of wickets since the conclusion of the 2019 ODI World Cup. Interestingly, Shardul is the only bowler in the Indian team to have completed a half-century of scalps in this period. Following him are the likes of Kuldeep Yadav (46), Mohammed Siraj (43), and Yuzvendra Chahal (37).

The ODI series between India and West Indies saw many top stars being rested. In the batting unit, the stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were left out of the second and third ODI sides while the likes of Mohammed Shami and Moahmmed SIraj didn't play any role in the three matches.

In the absence of certain seniors, Shardul made his presence known by emerging as India's top wicket-taker.
