The Indian team may have won the third ODI against Bangladesh by 227 runs, but Team India had to face a 2-1 defeat in the three ODI series. Such a crushing defeat before the ODI World Cup 2023 was an eye-opener for the coach and captain. A star player showed a very poor game in the series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, this player (Shardul Thakur) has disappointed both the coach and the captain with his game. Let’s know about this player.

This player disappointed (Shardul Thakur)

Shardul Thakur has failed to live up to his name on the Bangladesh tour. He looked like a complete flop in batting. Whenever Team India needed runs in all three ODIs, he would get out and return to the pavilion. He scored 2 runs in the first ODI, 7 runs in the second, and 3 runs in the third match. At the same time, in bowling, he has taken a total of 4 wickets in three matches.

Difficulties may increase with Hardik’s return

India has to play against Australia and Sri Lanka at home in the next ODI series. In such a situation, the selectors can get star all-rounder Hardik Pandya back in that series. Shardul Thakur place may be in danger as soon as Hardik returns. Hardik is an adept player in changing the course of the match in just a few balls. He is an expert in making Team India win the lost matches.

Played all three formats for India

Shardul Thakur has played cricket for India in all three formats. He has taken 27 wickets in 8 Test matches, 44 wickets in 31 ODIs, and 33 wickets in 25 T20 matches for Team India. But due to poor form, he has been in and out of the team and could never make his permanent place in Team India.
