The understated importance of Shardul Thakur

Hindustan Times  

There are backups and then there is Shardul Thakur. Despite not getting Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar for the Sri Lanka series, India didn’t consider adding Thakur. Even when you don’t take into account Thakur’s cameo that pushed India’s total towards 400, it’s hard to believe a player like him misses the cut this frequently. But if you have seven good batters who can do the job for us—no matter what the situation is, then you can look at your playing combination as well.” Helping Thakur’s case, of course, is the ability to break partnerships in the middle overs. “ some point, they’re going to come after you,” Thakur said after getting the Player-of-the-Match award for his 3/45 and a 17-ball 25.
