Especially the kind of game he showed in Gabba will still be in the minds of Indian fans. However, this time he has not been selected in the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Now the all-rounder has broken his silence on head coach Gautam Gambhir’s statement about the team moving on from him. Let us tell you that Shardul performed all-round in Gabba and scored 67 runs in the first innings and also took seven wickets. He is currently away from the cricket field due to injury. The experienced player, who recently underwent foot surgery, has expressed hope of his comeback despite being out of the national team. Shardul Thakur was quoted by Indian Express as saying, no one has contacted me yet, I have just returned from surgery, so obviously that is the reason why I am not in the team at the moment. There will definitely be opportunities: Shardul Thakur Shardul Thakur is claiming his comeback through domestic cricket. Recently, he took seven wickets (4/46 and 3/39) for Mumbai against Services, which shows how good form he is in. He said, my fitness is good now and since the Australia tour is long, opportunities can come any time. After this, the England team is also coming to India for white ball matches, then there is the Champions Trophy, so there is a lot of cricket to be played ahead. There will definitely be opportunities somewhere. Right now my focus is only on improving my fitness and giving 100 percent when I come out on the field. Shardul finally said that, in the first one or two matches, I was feeling a little hesitant while starting, but as I kept playing matches after the surgery, my confidence gradually increased. Now I have achieved 100 percent fitness and it is reflected in my bowling. In the last three or four matches, I have been bowling in full rhythm. However, some catches have been dropped, hence the wickets are not visible on the board, if those catches had been taken I would have had around 20 wickets. But it’s a part of the game.

According to BCCI source, Rahul is completely fit and will play the first test.

Let us tell you that the five-time champion team has Rs 55 crore in its purse and with this it will enter the mega auction. CSK has spent Rs 65 crore for five retentions. CricTracker asked AI to prepare CSK’s team for the IPL 2025 edition. The results that came after this have become a topic of discussion among the fans. The team selected by AI has Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey as batsmen. The list of all-rounders is a little longer. It has Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Rajvardhan Henggekar and Bhagat Verma. Wicketkeepers MS Dhoni and N Jagadeesan, while the name of Prashant Solanki is in the list of spinners. Pacers have Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mathisha Pathirana, Kagiso Rabada, Simarjeet Singh. Two strong all-rounders Shardul Thakur and Rachin Ravindra are out of this AI team.

We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team. He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.
