Indian speedster Shardul Thakur revealed that advice from Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has helped him a lot with his success over the last few months. 

Shardul Thakur has been amongst the few cricketers that have gained success over the last few months. The pace bowling has been performing well for the Indian cricket team and has been an important part of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL. 

He was one of the main reasons behind India’s triumph over Australia down under and the latter finished as the highest wicket-taker for India in the T20I series against England with eight wickets.

The-29-year old had also shared the Mumbai dressing room with Sachin Tendulkar during a Ranji Trophy campaign.

In a video posted by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on their Twitter handle Shardul Thakur recalled how Tendulkar once advised him to keep working hard even when he was not playing any matches.

"I think it was just before our Ranji Trophy final or maybe we won the Ranji Trophy final and we came back fresh for another season. I was discussing something with Sachin Paaji. 

“He was explaining to me the lines and he just went into flashback and he told me that you don't remember I had told you about certain line and length and certain skillsets, so keep doing that. He said whenever you find time, apart from your match practice, keep practicing, keep working hard. I think it has helped a lot," Shardul Thakur said in a video posted by CSK on their Twitter handle. 

Thakur is currently playing for CSK in the IPL 2021 and has scalped three wickets in the four matches he has played so far. He will be next seen in action in their next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
