After series triumph, Shardul not considering World Cup selection.
After India’s victory in the series, Shardul isn’t giving any consideration to being selected for the World Cup. Shardul is confident that Yuzvendra Chahal is a proven performer, despite the fact that the leggie has not participated in a single match on this tour so far. Despite this, Shardul maintains that there is no cause for concern.
CHENNAI:
In the third and final ODI in Trinidad on Tuesday, India defeated West Indies by 200 runs thanks to a strong all-around performance. This victory aided India’s 2-1 series victory. Before bowlers Mukesh Kumar and, in particular, Shardul Thakur took over, batters Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson worked together to help India return to winning ways following the shocking loss in the second ODI.
Thakur had a standout series, picking up eight wickets from three games with a top bowling average of 4/37 in the series finale on Tuesday. Thakur has a knack for batting lower in the order in addition to his bowling prowess, which will put him in the running for a spot in the ODI World Cup team. He does, however, want to enjoy the opportunity he is given and not stress over things like selection.
“I am pleased to have taken eight wickets in this series against the West Indies. We wait years for this chance as cricket players; sometimes we succeed, sometimes we don’t. Every series I play always makes me feel more confident since I’m growing professionally, according to Shardul. “I never believe that I must perform to guarantee my spot because I am not the type of player to play with that mentality. I have little control over their decision as to whether or not to select me for the World Cup squad. I always strive to play well for the team and adapt my game to the circumstances of a game, he continued.
Shardul agrees with everyone else who watches Indian cricket in saying that every game from this point forward would be crucial in determining India’s World Cup roster. “With the World Cup approaching, every game you play will be significant from the perspective of the squad. You will evaluate yourself in the batting, bowling, and fielding categories and assign yourself a grade. In addition, the team management and a few players will be evaluating your performance for selection. All of our games leading up to the World Cup are crucial for us personally, he added.
