India cricket captain Virat Kohli posted a heartwarming message in Marathi to praise pacer Shardul Thakur after his effort with the bat helped India win the third ODI against the West Indies and seal series 2-1 in Cuttack on Sunday.

Thakur scored an unbeaten six-ball 17 and stitched a crucial 30-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (39*) as India overhauled the WI score of 315 with four wickets to spare.
