Lord Shardul Thakur Pulls Off A Stunning Catch!

Team India led by Rohit Sharma started its World Cup campaign on a good note by winning the first match. In the low-scoring match, India emerged victorious despite losing three early wickets. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul stitched a much-needed partnership. Continuing the same form, India restricted Afghanistan to just 272.

More than the Bowling heroics of the Indian team, the stunning catch of Lord Shardul Thakur grabbed everyone's attention. Hardik Pandya bowled the 13th over and Afghan player Rahmanullah Gurbaz attempted a pull short. But he could not middle the ball and it took a big edge.

Shardul Thakur ran towards the boundary and displayed his fielding skills. He caught hold of the ball initially. But he realized that he was approaching the boundary line. He pushed the ball away and caught it. He went outside the boundary and came out and grabbed the ball.

What Shardul Thakur did impressed the fans and they are spellbound. Everyone is talking about the presence of mind Shardul had and the way he used it. Usually, we see such catches only in cricket games. But the Indian player pulled off a stunning catch.

Talking about the match, Afghanistan did not get a fiery start. When the opening pair was looking good, Jasprit Bumrah drew the fast blood by sending Ibrahim Zadran back. The Afghan team lost two more wickets. But the team managed to put up a fighting score with two half-centuries.
