Irfan Pathan praised Shardul Thakur fiercely

Talking on Star Sports after the victory of the KKR team, Irfan Pathan said that the kind of innings played by Shardul Thakur under pressure was fantastic. When Shardul came on the field, half of the KKR batsmen had returned to the dugout. His innings turned the tide of the match. You can expect such innings from Andre Russell, Nitish Rana, or Mandeep Singh. The way he showed his beast mode was just out of the box. You can expect innings of 30-35 runs from Shardul, but this inning was unbelievable, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
