<p>Indian cricketer Shardul Thakur made his one-day International cricket debut during the fourth ODI between India and Sri Lanka.</p>
<p>While, Shardul became the 218th cricketer to represent India in an ODI, he attracted the attention of Twitter users for a whole different purpose.</p>
<p>Shardul Thakur was seen sporting the number 10 jersey, which was earlier worn by none other than cricket great Sachin Tendulkar.</p>
<p>Twitterati took no time in slamming the Indian pacer and asked BCCI to retire the number 10 jersey as well. Here are some of the tweets that poured in.</p>
