I cannot believe these kind of posts. Think, please.

 

Shardul is good for 20 odd runs at best. Pandya can literally hold up an innings in ODIs and T20s. There's NO comparison in their batting abilities.

 

On the other hand, Pandya can well match up to Shardul in bowling.

 

Pandya is literally a few tiers above Shardul as both a proven performer, and on potential.

I agree with what you said regarding their batting abilities.   But regarding bowling, i disagree. Shardul is not a part time bowler , which Pandya is.     Yes, shardul is a mediocre bowler but miles ahead of pandya.

If thakur continues his slogging in t20 in this fashion, I m afraid pandya might lose his spot.  Considering that thakur is a better bowler than Pandya any day.

no thakur will threaten jadeja n Sundar coz Team will always have temptation of playing Kulcha on those big grounds

Hardik can easily bat at 6 in LOIs.

 

In fact, he should.

      He had a very good series vs Aus in India when he batted bit up the order. That was the time he should have been made to bat higher  atleast 5or 6  for some more games . A very good captain would have done so ...

He is one bowler who ll get selected in Wc for his batting, i swear i like his batting more then Dube now. 

He is better then many lappebaaz like bhajji i have seen , shud tell Mumbai team to make him bat up the order.......shayad adha all rounder hi ban jaya 

 

But jokes apart he is not as bad as much as he gets a flak . He can bowl 140+ , skiddy , has an outswinger, variation and can slog in end. So not a bad option to have in LOI setup 

 

Im sorry i underestimated him as a pinch power hitter but he is almost a proper batsman who took bowling srsly

A good loi team can carry a utility player like him. He isn't excellent in any department but good enough as a package. 

Even the great aussies of the noughties used Harvey and Bichel for this role, we can also keep Shardul for a similar role.

Agree he is a must in all squads

He usually snatches victory from the jaws of defeat but aaj toh almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. 

 

Too many runs leaked in his last over. He also panicked during the last over in one of the T20s against Archer.

Before Gabba I thought Lord Shardul was a vampire who sucked blood and flew away like a bat, but he has proved me wrong. He is a good bowler, handy lower order bat and fierce in attitude. Even with his stocky build, he gives everything in the field.

 

India now has too many options. A good headache to have!

This. Thakur is good.

What a turnaround. This guys has had a hard life since childhood. Cricket is heaven for him. He is a special player. Well done. I love the grit, tenacity. 

 

I believe we will win the test championship. 

 

I do believe we will win T20 World cup because of Thakur.

Pinch hitter is an insult to his batting ability. if one removes his debut test - where he was injured and played virtually no role - then he has made 3 50s in 3 tests (his debut test excluded). that's a proper batsman-type contribution.
