London: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor who is an avid cricket fan was spotted at The Oval during the Day 3 of the ongoing World Test Championship 2023 Final between India and Australia. Tharoor also hailed Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur for their 109 runs stand while India’s batting order was struggling to get the rhythm against Aussie bowlers.
Rahane, playing in Test cricket for the first time since January 2022, shined on his comeback with a splendid 89, his 26th half-century in the format.
Tharoor took his Twitter to hail both the cricketers and he also met BCCI President Roger Binny, Anil Kumble, and Rajiv Shukla during the Day 3 of the Test match.
