zen Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Both are useful players for their respective franchise. Both can get a few hits in too. Pros for Harshal Confident of bowling at the death Relatively a better fielder Can swing his bat Pros for Thakur Can swing the ball A better batsman Who is likely to be more successful in the short to mid term for his franchise?
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 lets put it this way harshal is a like for like replacement of Thakur.

Quality wise shardul is obv better in both. Harshal has executed yorkers better this season. Both have gotten a beating to. Currnetly i might just go for harshal- has been far nore impactful for his side. Since i play a lot of fantasy harshal is always a guaranteed pick coz he does end up doing something, shardul impact hasnt been same for CSK. Edited April 30, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03
SK_IH Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Let's not insult Shardul for this player. vvvslaxman 1

He even swung kookaburra surprisingly in Australia. He does have a surprising short ball. Also he is not a uber trundler. He can bowl at 135 clicks on an average.

Harshal would have given good pts in fantasy cricket, so far Batting: Avg 18, SR 146 Bowling: Avg 15, SR 10 (Currently with the purple cap)

Im talking in terms of role- A bowler who can bat decently. Harshal pace is fine ...he aint a trundler. Harshal is obviously not close when it terms to quality but like for like in terms of role
zubinpepsi Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 both are rubbish.. but i think shardul is a tad better than Harshal

In fanatsy leagues his selection % now is as high as Kohli zen 1

You think Harshal can take a 7 wickets in Gabba? Wah Pandya can break Bradman’s record based on a 91 but Thakur is comparable to Harshal based on Harshal’s IPL heroics in chennai, kya acumen hai Edited April 30, 2021 by Global.Baba

No one thought Thakur would too ... Also Thakur will not be picked for tests unless some of the first choice pacers are not available so pointless to be sidetracking Edited April 30, 2021 by zen
Global.Baba Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Harshal Patel Pandya Shankar Dube Thakur out of the lot here is my honest unbiased analysis keeping banter aside bowling 1.Thakur 2.Pandya Harshal/Shankar- rate them at the same level. In fact Shankar has delivered in international games against 2 big sides in Aus and Pak and Harshal has a purple patch so comparable. Dube- self explanatory batting Pandya-skills wise sure but bats too low especially when he doesn’t bowl. There is nothing called a specialist no.7 batsman Thakur/Shankar- different batsman, Thakur is a low order slogger while Shankar is a proper bat. Thakur has the game to contribute in tests as well while Shankar might be ok in tests and ODIs but not for T20. Dube- I think he is not a go from first ball type batsman but from what I have seen can be ok as a bat especially in odis. Tests in SC he might be ok. Don’t think he should get a test cap lol but feel that is where his batting is suitable Harshal- never remember any batting performance of note apart from May be 1-2 pointless slogs. Probably has talent but haven’t seen enough. Edited April 30, 2021 by Global.Baba

Harshal will give u full quote of overs every day

Harshal will give u full quote of overs every day Shankar has done well this IPL as well and performed against top sides. Harshal apart from this year has always been cannon fodder and looks like purple patch over now. Sure in domestics he might be a better bowler on such pitches. I mean I am sure there are plenty of better domestic spinners than Washington but he has for now leap frogged them for showing quality in internationals. As I said when and where the perform also matters
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, Global.Baba said: bowling Thakur Pandya ill break it In LOI - WKT taking skill- I dnt think so its much of difference but the only difference is Thakur is used more in way that he gets a chance to take more wkts, Hardik is used more of a containing option Economical- Hardik scores over thakur here In test Wkt taking- Shardul being a bowler has more tools but start giving hardik compartively new ball in help condition he has a bloody good outswinger TBH i dnt think their bowling is much of a diff buts its how they are used. Hardik obv focuses more on batting and his fitness now doesnt help his bowling
