Indian team management is expected to rest some important players for the final match after an impressive showing against powerhouse Australia in the last two ODI matches. The team management may rest certain players before the important ODI World Cup as veterans rejoin the group. Read on to know more about Shubman Gill & Shardul Thakur.
Star opening batter Shubman Gill and all-arounder Shardul Thakur, according to recent press reports, are two players who will sit out the third game. Notably, Gill has scored the most runs in the current series and has been outstanding the entire time. He has hammered a century and a half in the last two innings.
Shardul, on the other hand, hasn’t been great with the ball. Shardul has had trouble in the current series despite being one of India’s top wicket-takers in recent years. The decision by the team management to bench him for the upcoming game may provide him with some relief as he considers his strategy and rhythm. It’s important to note that India’s captain Rohit Sharma and ace batsman Virat Kohli will return in the last game.
Netizens on Shubman Gill & Shardul Thakur:
Meanwhile, the series’ master spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is another standout performer. He has been outstanding the entire series and has been frugal at the plate. His outstanding effort in the second ODI helped India, which was attempting to reach a 300+ total, keep the Australians to only 217 runs. His performance, though, might guarantee him a spot in India’s World Cup roster.
Ashwin will be India’s star performer in the competition as all-rounder Axar Patel will be missing for about six weeks due to injury. India will be able to watch run rates and wickets in the middle overs thanks to his experience and crucial efforts. It should be noted that India may reveal their updated 15-member roster by September 28. To reveal the squad, the team management is waiting until the current ODI series is over.
