Shardul Thakur gives a perfect audition for Test comeback in practice game

In Sunday's IND vs. ENG first test, Shardul Thakur took a step closer to guaranteeing a spot in the starting lineup. The all-rounder made an incredible century while playing in the practice match. Thakur is expected to return in the India vs. England series after last playing for India in the Boxing Day Test in 2023. Shardul Thakur has put up his best effort to make the starting lineup five days before to the start of the first test between India and England. The Mumbai pacer scored a superb hundred, according to the Indian Express. Although Thakur's batting ability is well known, his performances against players like Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, and Jasprit Bumrah are noteworthy. He played against the main team for India A.

The 33-year-old stroked 122 at Beckenham to put himself in the best position to feature in the playing XI.
