Australia's fast bowler Pat Cummins is the number one Test bowler currently.
India's Shardul Thakur was in full flow with the bat in the first innings of the fourth Test at Gabba on Sunday (January 17). He scored a well-fought 67, becoming the top-scorer for India in the innings.
The intent was clear from Thakur, he went for a shot whenever the ball was in his area. His first boundary came against Pat Cummins, which was perfectly connected for a six.
Cummins bowled a short ball to Thakur who was new to the crease and the batsman didn't hesitate to go for a hook and clear the boundary. He hit a four in the same over and Twitterati went crazy over his batting.

Thakur was looking good enough to get a hundred but unfortunately got clean bowled by Cummins. But it was too late for Australia, the damage was already done by the lower-order batsman. India managed to minimize the lead to just 33 runs with a 123-run partnership between Thakur and Washington Sundar (62).
