Indian all -rounder Shardul Thakur has recently opened the challenges of waiting on the shore. Shardul Thakur was part of India’s squad during the recent five -match Test series against England, but only two games were found during the draw tour.
Fast-bouling played in the first Test at the all-rounds Leeds, but struggled with both the bat and the ball, giving him his place for the following games. Thakur returned to Lord’s, where he scored a useful 41 runs, but remained wicketless in 11 overs and was removed from XI to play again.

Sharadul Thakur was told by Revsports: “On some occasions, I was also in the same boat, not going out to show my ability and not doing enough games.

But at the end of the day, there are two things, as I said earlier. First of all, not everyone is sufficient to be on the Indian side; Everyone will agree on him. And the second thing is that unfortunately or fortunately, the competition is so high in India. There are a lot of players, and only play at the end of 11 days of them. Correct.”

Therefore, remembering a match does not mean that a player is less important, but it only reflects the balance required for that game.

In particular, Thakur has represented India in 13 tests, 47 Odis and 25 T20s so far, scoring 377, 329 and 69 runs respectively. All -rounder also has 33 Tests, 65 ODIs and 33 T20I wickets.
