It's a waste to keep him in the team..!?
Former player akash chopra criticized only shardul thakur, who played in the afghanistan match, even though everything is fine in the indian team in the 2023 world cup series. shardul thakur is an all-rounder and captain rohit sharma is giving him a chance to play in the team stubbornly. He will bat in the eighth row, which rohit sharma believes will benefit the team in a difficult situation. But, shardul thakur is not always going to bat. akash chopra points out that he is of no use to the team.
Currently, in the indian team, two fast bowlers named bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, and two spin bowlers named ravindra jadeja and kuldeep yadav are permanently in the team. Spinner Ashwin, pace bowler mohammed shami, and pace bowling all-rounder shardul thakur will have a change in each match. At this stage, Ashwin played in the australia match. shardul thakur played in the next afghanistan match. Many expected that Mohammad shami would play then.
However, Thakur got a chance based on his ability to bat in the eighth row. akash chopra said about this, "Shardul is a bowler who scores one run per ball in batting. He will not score 45 runs in 20 balls. He is not that kind of player. He does not play like that. Right now the team needs a player who can at least bat in the 8th row. That is why Shardul But I think mohammed shami should be in the team," he said. There is always a debate about who should play between shardul thakur and mohammed shami in the team. Team india is going towards Shardul. According to him, shami should play, but the team will play Shardul because the indian team management expects him to bat in the 8th row." akash chopra said. Shardul will never bat at number 8. Someone else has to play those big shots and make the team win. If they don't, we will lose. So, Shardul is not going to bat. It's no use. india should play with shami against Pakistan." I think so," concluded akash Chopra.
