India’s pace bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur is playing only his sixth Test. However, the Mumbai lad has earned the team management’s delight as a serious wicket-taking bowler in quick time.

On Tuesday, Thakur showed what he is capable of against South Africa in the Johannesburg Test, claiming career-best figures of 7-61 which helped KL Rahul & Co bowl out the Proteas for 229 on Day Two. But, Thakur, 30, who is also good with the bat (three Test half-centuries), appeared not satisfied with his best performance so far.  “It is my best figures, but the best is always yet to come I would say,” Thakur remarked during a virtual press conference on Tuesday.
