Shardul Thakur is looking forward to coming up with a successful performance in ongoing India vs South Africa Test series. Shardul Thakur, who was impressed with his performances in his last two-Test series against England and Australia, seeks to contribute to the team in South Africa as well.

Shardul Thakur has made it to India’s Test squad in the previous few Test series with his incredible batting and bowling show. He was part of India’s historic 2-1 Test series victory against Australia early in January this year. Later, during the England tour, he slammed half-centuries while batting and picked crucial wickets during the tour.

The right-handed batsman also said that for him, it is everything about confidence and self-belief and he likes to plan his game in both batting and bowling.

“I do like to plan my game in terms of both bowling and batting. When I enter the ground, everything is about confidence and self-belief for me.
