Shardul Thakur Reveals 'Very Wrong For Me'

Shardul Thakur Reveals ‘Very Wrong For Me’: Shardul Thakur bolstered his hopes of securing a place in the Team India squad for the ODI World Cup 2023 by picking four wickets in the final ODI against West Indies.

The pacer’s efforts enabled India thrash Windies by 200 runs. However, the right-hand pacer said he was not thinking about World Cup and playing for his spot.

With no Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj in the ODI series against West Indies, Thakur led India’s inexperienced pace attack well.

“Very wrong of me to think I will play for my spot in the WC. I will do what the team needs from me,” Thakur said. The all-rounder was also modest about his performances and gave credit to the rest of the bowlers for keeping things tight. “Bowling unit bowled well, and we were trying to put in our best effort despite Windies losing three at the top.”

With Bumrah, Shami, and Siraj back for Asia Cup and World Cup, Thakur knows he got limited opportunities to showcase his worth. The all-rounder has not disappointed as he has delivered for India on the tricky surface in Windies. He said selection is not in his hands and that he plays according to the match situation.

“If I am not picked in the World Cup squad, it’s their call, I cannot do much about it. I always try to perform for the team and play according to the situation of a match,” he added.

“I think I didn’t play one one-day series, I mean I was not part of the team in the series against Sri Lanka at home. I don’t know why I wasn’t picked then, but I have been part of all other ODI series in the last 2 years.

“Whenever I get an opportunity, I try to contribute to the team’s success whether it’s with bat, ball, or in fielding. At the end of the day, I should be happy that I have made an effort, my performances should be impactful whichever department it is,” he added.

Siraj: What a comeback! We only wanted to take it one game at a time. Qualification or the playoffs is not in our control. What is in our control is, fast bowlers have the balls, batters have the bat. All we have to do is attack. If we qualify, it’s very good. But we just want to continue playing this brand of cricket.

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying batter has a bat and bowler has a ball

Siraj: The mindset is to take wickets, right?

Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”

Kohli: (laughs) Alag cricket chal rahi hai (he is playing different cricket). Just say, “All I can see are stumps”

Siraj: Siuuuuuu…

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying see you.

In another video shared by RCB, the franchise’s players could be seen celebrating their victory against DC, the fifth consecutive of the season, in a wild manner.

Though RCB’s playoffs qualification hopes have been given a big boost, the situation still isn’t completely in their hands. RCB don’t just need to beat CSK in their final league match of the season but also hope for a few other results to fall in their favour.
