Lord Thakur: the man, the myth the legend

[speedheat]

A far more potent striker of the ball than pant and Jadeja.

He is now a must-have member of our t20i squad.

One of the most fighting cricketers in Team India now. 

 

Has the aggression with both bat and ball.

 

I am amazed with his batting ability and attitude while batting.

 

If he were a few inches taller and bowled 5 kph quicker, he would have been one of our best pacers ever. He has the mindset of a genuine fast bowler but lacks the pace. 

 

Shardul is not bowling at his quickest. Want him to go back to his 2019 speed.

A thread only for appreciating this man.

 

@G_B_ was another guy who believed in him from the start too

Maniac bhai, I am offended that you missed tagging me - go back and count the number of times I posted Thakur gifs on ICF and tell me who the biggest Thakur fan is :-).  

 

The man is a national treasure.  Every time he bosses his opponents around, it is time for one of these.

One of the few in the team who shows that spirit. Sundar is another in whom I saw that controlled aggression (e.g., the nataraja six).

Sundar, Gill, Thakur, Ashwin, Pant played like beasts in Aus because there wasnt a certain manhoos around them.

Fastest 50 at Kennington Oval beating Ian Botham by one ball. What a thrilling counter attack.

Wow, didn't know this. What an amazing feat!

Good knock by Thakur. Guys in the tail have hit one good knock so far including Shami and Bumrah. However, needs to bowl well is main focus as one of the 4 seamers.

[Lord]

looked toothless so far.

[Vijy]

his bowling is rather meh. but I like his fighting attitude and his batting. he should be groomed as a no. 6 or no. 7 player for LOIs IMO.

His bowling is less threatening than Saurav Ganguly’s in these favourable conditions.

Shameless Chokli laughing like a monkey from the stands watching Bradman Thakur bat.      Hope he learns some batting from our Bradman too.
