Shardul Thakur produced a very good delivery to get rid of Mohammad Rizwan in the Super 4 stage match against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023. After India reduced Pakistan’s top order to a low score, the middle overs passage was not that difficult for the Indian team. Hardik Pandya produced a peach of a delivery to dismiss Babar Azam. It gave the upper hand to the Indian team.
Rain interfered and took away some time. It helped the team to regroup. As soon as the match resumed, Shardul came into the attack and dismissed Rizwan. The wicketkeeper batter of Pakistan was in no position to play the shot against the pacer. Thakur bowled a beautiful delivery and made good use of the helping conditions to get rid of Rizwan.
Away moving delivery gets Mohammad Rizwan
The ball was pitched up. The medium pacer landed it on a good length and got it to move away from the right-hander. Rizwan played for the straightened one. But the ball moved away and took the edge of Rizwan’s willow. The ball went behind the stumps, where the wicketkeeper KL Rahul caught the ball. It looked like a well-planned dismissal by the Indian bowler.
Rohit Sharma set an attacking field after the break. Thakur bowled according to the field set and gave no room for the batter. As a result, Rizwan had to go behind the bowler to keep the scoreboard ticking. In the process, Rizwan lost his wicket. Shardul and his teammates enjoyed the wicket. The fans praised the wicket-taking ability of Shardul, who seems to be doing it regularly in the last few matches.
Pakistan is in a deep trouble. They have not just lost their top order but has also lost the middle order batters. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja settled in the middle and bowled on good lengths. Pakistani middle order could not read the spinners and threw away their wickets. The loss of Pakistan against India seems to be inevitable at this stage.
