Commonwealth Games 2022 | Internet reacts to Renuka Singh Thakur’s phenomenal spell ripping Australia apart
Renuka Singh Thakur made headlines on Friday during India's Commonwealth Games 2022 opener against reigning world champions Australia. Coming to defend a below-par 155, Thakur took all four of Australia's top order wickets, that too inside powerplay, to send their oppositions in disarray early.
Indian women bowlers got off to a dream start in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, taking place in Birmingham. To be precise, it was Renuka Singh Thakur who took all the limelight after the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side posted 154/8 batting first in the competition's opener.
In the opening over, Thakur dismissed the dangerous Alyssa Healy without scoring to send Australia on the back foot early. Then, in her next over, she outfoxed Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney to continue the attack. Then, in the fifth over, Tahlia McGrath was undone by her as well as Australia's top four lost their wickets to a single Indian bowler.

Robin Jackman, Neville Tufnell, or Shafaqat Rana never had a spell this good.

The girl shines
Australia might still win this. But this match where cricket returned to the Commonwealth Games will be remembered as the match where Renuka Singh Thakur, the girl from Shimla, made the world take notice of her. Hope she gets the support of her team, unlike the other pacers.
