The names of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been much discussed regarding the 2027 World Cup. Everyone is curious to know whether Rohit and Kohli will play the next World Cup or not. Meanwhile, a fast bowler has staked his claim to play in the World Cup after two years. This is none other than Shardul Thakur, who says that along with bowling fast, he can also bat at number 8. Let us tell you that no white ball matches have been played after October 2023.

Speaking to the media after Mumbai vs Chhattisgarh match in Ranji Trophy, Shardul Thakur said, “It is very important for me to keep performing well, so that I can make a comeback in Team India. Good performance will help me in Team India selection. ODI World Cup is going to be held in South Africa, so I felt that the number 8 spot could be vacant for a bowling all-rounder. My eyes are on this sequence.”

Shardul Thakur is currently captaining the Mumbai team in Ranji Trophy. Talking about number-8 in the ODI team, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana are already in the race for it. Harshit was seen batting at number 8 in the ODI series against Australia. Somewhere it can be said that Thakur has staked his claim on the number for which Harshit Rana is being prepared.

On the other hand, Thakur says that he is ready to return to international cricket. He clearly said that if he is asked to play an international match tomorrow, he will be ready for it. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and his committee will decide who to give a chance and who not. Still, Thakur has definitely given them a clear message.

Shardul Thakur played his last ODI match in the 2023 World Cup. But after that he has been continuously ignored by the white ball teams. In the same year, he was included in the Test team for the England tour, but was not given a chance in the Test series against West Indies.

India vs England Test Series 2025: Shardul Thakur is going to return to the Indian Test team after a year and a half. He played the last Test against South Africa in December 2023. He is now going to return to the Test series against England, but before that he has warned the English team. Shardul says that he has come to give his best to England and winning the series outside India always goes to give a special memory.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared the video on social media, in which he said that it is good to have a new energy inside the team. He said, “Young players have emerged and it is always good to see new talent emerging. The England team is now playing a different kind of cricket, but we have also come here to do well and would definitely like to shock the English team.”

In addition to his bowling from time to time, Shardul Thakur has been performing brilliantly from batting. He said that winning the series in England would be a matter of pride for the whole country. Also, let us tell that Team India can do a historic feat here because India has not won any Test series in England for the last 18 years.

At the same time, he has taken 10 wickets in bowling. Thakur was also in the discussion because he recently scored an unbeaten 122 runs in the intracecwad match.

Indian team will play without a great-blood

In the month of May, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma said goodbye to Test cricket. Now Shubman Gill has been made the captain of the Indian Test team. The middle order batting has probably weakened due to the absence of Virat-Rohit. Who will take their place in the team, it remains a very complex question.

Shardul Thakur Five Wides: The match of Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants (KKR Vs LSG) was played at Eden Gardens on Tuesday. In this clash, Lucknow bowler Shardul Thakur bowled 6 runs in the same ball without giving a boundary. How can this be good, only then 6 runs can be scored on it. But there was neither a four, nor Six nor any over-three runs. Know here what was such a wonder that Thakur gave 6 runs in a single ball without giving a boundary.

The case is of the 13th over of KKR’s innings, in which Shardul Thakur came to bowl. His luck was so bad that he threw 5 wide consecutive wide. In the sixth attempt, he put the first legal ball of the over, on which Ajinkya Rahane took a single run. In this way, he gave 6 runs without giving boundary in just one ball.

5 wide in the same over, wicket again

Shardul Thakur bowled 11 balls to complete the 13th over, while one over is only 6 balls. Interestingly, Thakur threw 5 wide in this over and in the same over, the wicket of KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane also shouted. On the first 5 balls, 13 runs including five wide had come. Thakur’s last ball was full-toss, which Rahane could not hit properly and caught Nicholas Puran.
