When it was announced that Shardul Thakur would replace Axar Patel in India’s T20 World Cup squad, Twitter erupted.
As a last-minute addition to India’s squad ahead of the T20 World Cup starting on October 17, Shardul Thakur has been added. He takes Axar Patel’s place on the standby players list, which also includes Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). BCCI made the announcement on their social media handles on Wednesday, and the reaction was immediate and enthralling. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have already secured a spot in the IPL 2021 final thanks to the bowler’s performance in the ongoing season.
As one Twitter user pointed out, Ravichandran Ashwin or Rahul Chahar should have been chosen instead of Thakur. In the words of one of our customers: “Shardul Thakur was the right choice, but either Ashwin or Rahul Chahar should have been selected instead. And ignoring Chahal is the height of irresponsibility. It’s like praising the underperformers while criticizing the overachievers.”
Other fans have boldly stated that Thakur is India’s best quick and could play a crucial role. “Axar Patel has been replaced by Shardul Thakur in India’s main T20 WorldCup squad. I’m curious what everyone has to say. Is he capable of leading India to victory in the World Cup? He is, in my opinion, India’s best fast-bowling all-rounder right now, given the options we have “, he said in his letter.
Other people’s thoughts are as follows:
An Indian preliminary 15-man squad for the forthcoming World Cup was announced on Monday, August 31. Axar was on the active roster, while Shardul was on the reserve list.
On the 24th of October, India will open their campaign against Pakistan in Dubai, under the leadership of Virat Kohli.
