Here are the talking points: ,KL Rahul-Deepak Hooda partnership built the foundation,Lucknow Super Giants' impressive score was constructed on a 95-run stand between Rahul and Hooda. The pair teamed up when Quinton de Kock's wicket fell in the fifth over. Rahul cleared his front leg to hit a six from Kuldeep in the 10th over, while Hooda went inside-out to score a boundary. That inside-out stroke was also indicative of the favourable batting conditions.Hooda was eventually bowled out in the 15th over by Shardul Thakur. Despite Stoinis' inability to hit the accelerator pedal, Rahul attempted a few of shots into the stands to keep the scoreboard ticking. Axar-Kuldeep heroics miss their mark,With wickets falling at regular intervals, it was left to the spin pair of Kuldeep and Axar to push the side closer to the target. Both of them did a commendable job to put the pressure back on LSG. In the 19th over, Kuldeep and Axar combined to collect a boundary and a six off Chameera to bring the equation down to 21 off 6. There was more drama in the final over with Kuldeep pulling a slower short ball from Marcus Stoinis for a six. However, despite a harsh call, Stoinis was able to nail a few yorkers and gave only two runs in the next four balls to ensure LSG would come out victorious. Axar did crack a six off the final ball but by then it was more or less over for DC as they finished with a total of 189. Mohsin Khan turned the tide for LSG,Mohsin Khan had a huge effect in the DC versus LSG match, taking four wickets. He continued to bowl deliveries outside the off stump, forcing Pant to reach for the balls. He made Pant frustrated by hitting exactly the proper lengths. Then there was that one ball that was fuller and was aimed at the stumps.

Also Read | Watch: Bumrah wins battle vs Jansen, Kohli gives Protean a send off,The Indian seamers picked up 18 of the 20 wickets in the first Test at Centurion, where Shami took a first innings fifer to help India establish a 130-run lead and eventually take a 1-0 lead in the series. Shardul Thakur (7/61) then registered the best figures by an Indian seamer in the second Test at The Wanderers as the pace attack picked up 12 out of 13 wickets but the hosts went on to level the series. ,In the ongoing third Test, Jasprit Bumrah picked up the seventh five-wicket-haul of his career as India bundled out the Proteas with a 13-run first innings lead. While Bumrah’s spell was the most decisive in nullifying the Proteas batting, Shami also played an important part, breaking a promising partnership and delivering two quick blows in one over. Also Read | Mithali Raj wants India to be 'more consistent' ahead of WC 2022,Shami first dismissed Temba Bavuma, who was looking well settled at 28 and had added 47 runs to the board along with top-scorer Keegan Petersen (72), and then got rid of Kyle Verreynne for a duck. ,“More than the fear, he was threatening throughout the day, in this innings, and probably throughout the series. The kind of lengths which he bowled, kept testing the batter. Ask any top batsman. No one would want to face him. He bowls so close to the stumps that he is always in or around off-stump. And from there on, he gets the movement and from there on he gets the edges,” Gambhir said on the Byju’s Cricket Live Show on Star Sports.

New Zealand and India are placed fourth and fifth on the points table, respectively, just above Scotland in the Group 2 that also includes Pakistan, Afghanistan and Namibia. ,Ahead of their game against New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium in UAE, there has been a lot of speculation regarding who would make it to Team India's playing XI. ,T20 World Cup, India vs New Zealand: Will Rohit Sharma survive left-arm menace Trent Boult?,Former India batsman-turned-commentator VVS Laxman feels that India should replace longtime pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar with bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur against New Zealand to add depth to their batting line-up. T20 World Cup, India vs New Zealand: Here's a look at Virat Kohli's probable XI,I would go for Shardul Thakur because Shardul can give runs with the bat, and he's a wicket-taking option. It also increases the depth in the batting lineup. So, I would definitely go with Shardul ahead of Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), Laxman said on Star Sports show 'Game Plan'. Laxman said Shardul was not only an experienced bowler, but should also be given a chance on account of the balance and the combination of the playing eleven. I would probably prefer Shardul over Bhuvi, he said. T20 World Cup: Why is India vs New Zealand clash a do or die for both teams?,Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 25 runs from his three overs against Pakistan. Shardul Thakur was the joint third-highest wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League (IPL) season with 21 scalps. There are also chances that youngster Ishan Kishan could come into the side after his quickfire 70 for India in the T20 World Cup warm-up match against England. Some experts have also called for the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin and Varun Chakravarthy in the playing side as this would reinforce India's spin attack.

Shardul hit his second Test fifty off 31 balls and zoomed past Ian Botham's 35-year-old record. Commenting on his fifty, the Indian pacer said that when one is entrusted with responsibility, he has to perform by hook or crook. You have to take responsibility whether you are a pacer or a batter. If you are playing for India, so whenever you get a chance you have to shoulder responsibility by hook or by crook, Shardul said after day's play. For me, it was a challenge and whenever I get to bat, I have to create such an impact that it opens the door for my team's victory, the Mumbai all-rounder said. His first fifty had come during India's victory in Brisbane earlier this year. In the Indian dressing room, he is referred to as 'Beefy' which is legendary Ian Botham's famous nickname. Pretty happy getting so much love from teammates that they want to call me by a certain nickname, he smiled. He clarified that Ravindra Jadeja was sent up the order to keep the left-right combination going. Whether Rishabh goes or Jaddu goes, it doesn't really matter. We have seen Jadeja score crucial runs and bat patiently. It was just to use left right combo, we send him up the order, said Shardul. The advice given to him by coaches was to play as straight as possible and he tried doing that. The more you play with a straight bat in English conditions, the more runs you will get. The ball swings excessively so it's better to play straight. My coaches tell me to play with a straight bat and score as much as possible with the tail. The pull shot to get his fifty was according to him his favourite of the three sixes and it helped that the ball swung less with no overhead clouds at the time when he batted. The target is to restrict England to a low first innings score and take the game from thereon. If you look, our total (191) is not very high. We have an amazing opportunity to restrict them to low total and game will be neck and neck, he said. When stumps were drawn, England were 53/3.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"51.5074","longitude":"-0.1278","name":"London, UK","city":"City of Westminster"},"keywords":"Shardul Thakur, Shardul Thakur fifty vs England, Shardul Thakur Ian Botham, Shardul Thakur fastest fifty","originalPublishedOn":"2021-09-03T07:20:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"tqITn8ABgo0w","slug":"and-the-tail-continues-shardul-thakurs-50-brings-back-englands-lords-horrors","slugV2":"sports/and-the-tail-continues-shardul-thakurs-50-brings-back-englands-lords-horrors-561733/","title":"And the tail continues: Shardul's 50 brings back Root's Lord's horrors","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_rSj35AlOxcR.jpg","coverCaption":"Shardul Thakur scored a half-century off 32 balls against England.
