Delhi: When Team India’s star all -rounder Shardul Thakur was asked about a good performance in Ranji and going on a tour of England, then Shardul said that of course, all the cricketers always dream of playing for India, and I It has already done this. But my dream has always been playing continuously for India.
Ready to return to Team India
I am thankful to God that I have got so many opportunities to live with the team, play so many games and contribute to victory. But now, for the last one year, I have not gone to that dressing room, and therefore, once again, I am dreaming of playing for India. Ranji Trophy is going on, and this upcoming England tour is an inspiration for me. My only meditation has always been that wherever I play, I have to contribute to win the match with bat or ball somehow.

Can replace Ashwin
Shardul Thakur said, “I have a lot of confidence and confidence. Playing for your country is the biggest inspiration. If you look at the combination of Team India, whether in India or abroad, always needs a bowler who can bat at number 7 or 8. Ravichandran Ashwin has done this work and has also won many matches with the bat. Ravindra Jadeja has also shown this ability. I am confident that I can also perform well for Team India by batting at number 7 or 8. ”
Better bowling than Bumrah
Shardul further said, “Even though I am the third or fourth fast bowler in the team, it does not mean that I am less than anyone. I play as the main bowler for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, so I have a habit of bowling with a new ball. If Jasprit Bumrah is bowling from one end and the captain of Team India wants me to start from the other end, then I am ready for it, because it is not new to me. I think my bowling has the ability to make changes according to different circumstances.
If you talk about T20 matches, “When Bumrah and I play together, I have taken more wickets in the death overs.” In Test cricket, I can bowl with both new and old balls. In batting, I think runs from number eight to eleven are also very important for the team. Especially when we visit England, these extra runs help the bowlers and the difference of this runs can be bigger in a particular match. ”
