After the end of day 3 at Gabba and the fighting spirit of Shardul-Sundar which held hopes of India alive, the beautiful sweep shot of Sundar is going viral on social media. As if a maiden Test half-century and 100+ partnership for 7th wicket was not enough, Washington Sundar had to sweep up a no-look six off Nathan Lyon.
The all-round performance of Shardul and Sundar flaccid water on the hopes of Australia. India’s first inning finished with 336 onboard with help of Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur’s astonishing fifties. Shardul scored 67 runs 115 balls with the help of 9 fours and 2 sixes while Sundar scored 62 off 154 with 7 boundaries and a no-look, full of swag six.
That's spicy! A no-look six from Sundar 6️⃣
