India’s Forgotten Star Shardul Thakur Shines In Ranji Trophy, Hits Back At Selectors Saying ‘They Should…’

Mumbai was struggling at 47/7 when Shardul Thakur came in and hit 51 runs off 57 balls which included five boundaries and two sixes, helping Mumbai reach a score of 120.

Shardul Thakur who has always been considered as India’s star all-rounder delivered an excellent performance against Jammu and Kashmir. He rescued his team from a dire situation as Mumbai’s top order collapsed. Shardul took a sharp shot at Indian selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar and their decision to overlook him despite proven performances and fitness. He also pointed out that players with demonstrated quality should be given more opportunities rather than getting sidelined.

“What can I talk about my quality? Others should talk about it. They should see that if someone has quality, he should be given more chances,” Shardul Thakur told the media
