Lord Shardul memes: Twitter reactions and funniest memes on Shardul Thakur picking three quick wickets in Johannesburg Test

Lord Shardul: The Indian all-rounder turned the tables on the stroke of lunch in the ongoing second South Africa vs India Test.

During the second day of the second Test of the ongoing India’s tour of South Africa in Johannesburg, India all-rounder Shardul Thakur justified his selection in the Playing XI by turning the tables on the stroke of lunch.

Resuming from their overnight score of 35/1, South Africa captain Dean Elgar (28) and batter Keegan Petersen (62) managed to save their wickets in the first hour of the day. Despite pinpoint bowling from Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, Elgar and Petersen put on display an assured spell of batting at The Wanderers.

Thakur, who was introduced into the attack after 18 overs on Day 2, took only 11 balls to take a wicket as Elgar was seen edging the ball behind the wickets to India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant.

It was in his fourth over that Thakur dismissed a well-set Petersen after he edged a delivery to Mayank Agarwal at second slip. In what turned out to be the last delivery before the lunch break, Thakur continued to hurt the Proteas by dismissing Rassie van der Dussen (1).

Known to make things happen, Thakur did the exact same by picking three wickets in five overs in the morning session. South Africa, who still trial by 100 runs, have been unequivocally put on the back-foot by Thakur on the back of a game-changing spell.

Lord Shardul and team India believe in fair play. That’s why Lord never bowls to new batsmen, he’s only brought on once there is a partnership and the batsmen are set. Lord still gets them out though 😄 #SAvIND

Lord Shardul waits for people to doubt him so he could prove them wrong.
