‘Thakur ne aaj dikhadiya usse Lord kyun kehte hain’ – Fans react to Thakur’s explosive innings against RCB
In the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League 2023, Kolkata will compete against Bangalore at Eden Gardens in match nine, which was supposed to be the venue for their first game since 2019. On a pitch with great scoring potential, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl first.
After attempting an odd shot against the rhythm of the game and getting struck by Karn Sharma, the prepared Gurbaz was out for 57 off 44 balls. The leg spinner then dismissed the dangerous Andre Russell for a duck, giving Kohli a straightforward catch in the deep and causing the KKR severe trouble with half of the players still in the locker room.
Russell made a negligent swing, resulting in the power hitter’s ball making proper contact with the bat’s toe. He hasn’t yet found the form in the IPL that has made him famous. He fled the field for a first-ball duck, putting his franchise in danger. Shardul Thakur scores his first IPL fifty in just 20 balls, thoroughly dismantling the Bangalore attack in the process. Shardul has joined Jos Buttler as the joint-fastest to score 50 runs off only twenty balls, and he has solely transformed Kolkata’s status from one of vulnerability to strength.
Shardul Thakur started the final over by slapping the first delivery past extra cover for four. Later tries to pull but is stopped by Glenn Maxwell. But he was able to finish the job as he got out for 68 off just 29 deliveries and got this score at a strike rate of over 200. Umesh Yadav enters the game and finds a boundary by clearing the midfield.
In their Thursday IPL 2023 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders secured a target of 205 runs. It would surely be a tough chase for the Bangalore team as the mountain that the Kolkata team has set is huge for them.
