Manjrekar defends Shardul, blames collective bowling for Centurion loss

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar defended Shardul Thakur, arguing that the blame for India's loss in the first Test against South Africa should not be solely on Thakur. He cited the collective failure of the Indian bowling unit as a significant factor in the defeat. Thakur faced criticism for his performance in the first Test, where he took one wicket and conceded 101 runs.
