Now the competition is who can sustain 140+ with control... When shammi manages 140+ on average he becomes deadly. 

Same is true with umesh. 

It's only Ishant who still does not fetch wickets...even if he maintains 140+.

But creates fear among batsman. 

Hardik is also getting his wickets on the dose of fear among batsman. He creates fear and then a wrong shot is played. 

His 8th over had few 145k balls. 

He should be benched in 5th odi as he plays tests too. 

Actually Dhawan has played recklessly because he has scored heavily in first 3 odi and tests so wasn't motivated. 

But I loved kohl's innings... He shutdown srilanka. 

After this series srilankan team would be scared to play with us... Permanent fear will be installed.. Lankan batsman would be scared of umesh shammi hardik n even shardul n Bumrah. 

All their spinners will be scared of our batsman excluding Akila.. He would still try some tricks. 

Really?? Like the fear with which Faulkner smacked him for 30 runs in an over?

I have been wanting Shardul Thakur to play for India for quite some time now ..... because he is pacy,   has a wide range of skills ( swing and seam both ways, reverse swing, bounce, bouncers, yorkers )  and  picks up loads of wickets in important FC and List A matches  ( A-tours, Ranji knock-outs, practice match against SA touring team  etc. ). He has a decent seam position too.

 

--  Shardul  bowling in  Ranji Trophy final 2016-17 and gets a  4-fer

 

He is bowling an impeccable line and length here at pace and one of the wickets is off a quick bouncer.

--  Next he is seen bowling in Ranji Trophy final 2015-16 and gets a 5-fer.  He performs in big matches and takes loads of wickets.

He bounces out Pujara here with a snorter, gets another batter with a short one, bowls an excellent yorker and we see a good outswinger too.

He could become an allround package like Shami if developed well. If only he had a bit more height would be more deadly.

SN Thakur to Dickwella, no run, ripper! 148kph reads the speedgun. Short of length and gets it to lift, Dickwella goes searching for the ball and is beaten on the outside edge. It zipped past his blade and thudded into Dhoni's glove

 

This is commentary from which site  ?

[express bowling]

Bumrah bowling jaffas, one after the other, on a flat pitch.

 

Good length, off-stump, lifting nastily and thudding into Dhoni's gloves, seaming away from the left-handers, 

 

Picked a wicket from one such delivery.

 

This is test-match-type line and length.

[express bowling]

Kuldeep Yadav getting big turn and some bounce with regularity.

[express bowling]

Bumrah  bowling beautifully to right-handers now.

 

First an outswinger which moved away a tad at 139 k and beats the edge by a whisker.

 

Next a good-length, rising ball outside off .... Matthews edges but no first slip.... could have been an easy catch.

[express bowling]

Shardul Thakur bowling slower in his 2nd spell again in this match.

 

Needs to work on his stamina.

[express bowling]

Zak talking about giving a slip to Bumrah in his 2nd spell 

 

Saying that not having a slip is forcing Bumrah to bowl defensive lines and lengths. 

 

Very astute observation.

He has a lot of flab

And this is after losing 10 odd kgs of weight

 

He was looking tired and unhappy today ..... was dragging himself back to his bowling mark

 

Team India training wearing him out as he is new to it   ? ?

Not particularly impressed with Thakur. He reminds me of Mohit Sharma. Average height, average build, same gingerly run up and average pace - around 130 to 135 kph. Wont go too far in ODIs because he lacks pace or the control that Bhuvi or Bumrah have or even the wicket taking ability of Shami. Definitely not a prospect for tests. He lacks stamina and looks out of steam after bowling a few overs at a stretch.

[express bowling]

142 k ball by Bhuvi.... bounces extra and batsman is played on.

 

This is why the  faster deliveries are needed to be bowled.

The bolded part i agree , however passing conclusions based on 1-2 games is not right.He was very impressive in first game.

He is a good propect,needs chances can't be thrown out on a whim.

So impressed with Kuldeep,such a smooth action.

He needs to be a regular in odis.

As spearhead for Mumbai, Shardul is used to bowling longer spells.I don't think he will run out of stamina by bowling 4 _ 6 overs

If it is not a stamina issue, and  his residual pace is 130 k to 137 k mark,  and then it is a more worrying issue.
