From fond memories of playing in England to the funniest nicknames given to him by his teammates. shares it all as gear up for the rescheduled Test at Edgbaston. - By Full interview Speaking in a video posted by BCCI, here's what the all-rounder had to say about playing in English conditions: "They say England is a bowlers' paradise because the ball swings a lot. You can end up taking a lot of wickets in one spell. I think England is one of my favourite places to play cricket and bowl because you get a lot of lateral movement off the pitch and it's upto you how you want to use it."

Shardul Thakur on his crucial fifty at the Oval

The Oval Test victory is remembered for 's maiden overseas Test hundred as well as Jasprit Bumrah's 100th Test wicket. However, Shardul Thakur scored a sensational fifty in the first innings to take his team to 191 and ensure the bowlers had something to bowl to. Thakur also scored a fifty in the second innings and proved why he was a fantastic addition to the side. On that knock in the first innings, the 30-year-old stated: "That was a very crucial innings (fifty at The Oval) for the team as England could have taken a huge lead and we cut that down. Because of that, we could do well in the third and fourth innings. When you play such a knock, the entire team gets charged up to make a comeback in the game and it will also reflect in the bowling and fielding." In the absence of Ravindra Jadeja on the tour to South Africa, Shardul Thakur couldn't have much of an impact with the bat. He will be hopeful of putting up a better performance this time around at Edgbaston. Check here for the of the T20 World Cup final 2022 Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
